k2 and ride are not the best quality anymore 4 years ago, k2 purchased ride and morrow, and moved production of all 3 to their factory in china, Shakespeare Fishing Poles. so boards that used to be handmade with top quality, are now machine made pieces of crap. yet they still charge the same price. Burton, Arbor, Lib Tech, Gnu, forum (even though they’re just burton now, burton bought them ove rthe summer) are good bets. im not too impressed with anything else. palmer is straight, as well as a few other companies here and there what is your height/weight/shoe size? if your foot is 11 or bigger you’ll need a wide board. if you’re 5’7"-5-10" 130-180 lbs, with shoes 10.5 or smaller, my old board is for sale. amazing board, barely ridden (ripped the tendon in my ankle twice in the past few years, so i couldnt really snowbaord). only selling cause I work at a shop and get the newest shit all the time ---

Looks pretty sweet. if it werent for the big feet, you would fit sorry lib is sweet, thats what both my boards are. if you want to know the whole shpiel let me know edit: fuck it. ill just quote what i wrote before btw- lib tech \> burton these boards are handmade in the U.S. They have correct cap construction (cap on the effective edge sandwich on the tip and tail. The reason for this is stiffness when riding (cap construction wraps the fiberglass topsheet around the the width of the board for stiffer torsional strength) yet sandwhich on the tip and tail for flexibility to allow smooth transitions edge to edge). Another advantage is the steel edge does not wrap around the tip and tail; instead it has a urethane bumper). The advantage; steel doesn’t absorb impact. it breaks. instead, urethane absorbs the impact, and can be fixed with 2 part apoxy, and be good as new. ---

> [@mickdad246](#): > > i have a ATOMIC Alibi, not for sale tho… hey man enjoy that board now. i picked up one off a pro-form 2 yrs ago just to check it out. 3/4 thru the season the board was worked. no snap left and the board felt like a damn wet noodle under my feet. others have had the same experiences with their boards.
