Fish 156 Snowboard – Men’s by Burton

The new fish 156 Snowboard from Burton is back with all added features and advantages since its launch in 2009. I found this snowboard very easy and a complete fun to ride over the snow. While riding this spring-loaded S rocker it gave feeling as if I am smoothly floating over the snow. True to the other fish versions, this board also got the swallow tail that really helps the nose to stay buoyant while maintaining the proper speed at turns without getting mired. With the best features loaded in this board it let me stay on the speed I desired while being moored on the board with very little efforts. Some extraordinary features that made me purchase this Fish 156 snowboard are.

  • Triax response fiberglass- this feature helped to gain versatile flex and retort that’s capable of everything from straight-line big mountain descents to smooth laps through the park.
  • S rocker- this entry rocker extends 4mm from the nose of the board till your front foot and then transits to the camber present under your back foot. This design helps to keep the nose afloat because after punching the camber present under back foot it ultimately lifts the nose above.
  • Sintered WFO vision base- this is an ultimate feature which I liked about this snowboard. This enabled great wax absorption with durable and porous base that gave a splendid glide. 

This board is also loaded with some additional features such as infinite channel system and Powerfly core, which makes it a complete delight for boarders.

Gnu Billy Goat C2BTX Snowboard

This snowboard is a real reincarnation of sheep because it goes in the gnarly terrains of the mountain that you never thought it will. This Gnu Billy goat snowboard would take you wherever you want and that too with total control and confidence. I got impressed with its superior stiff flex, intelligent combination of C2 BTX banana camber and twin geometries. I mainly took it to explore those unreachable terrains around the mountain, and it came true to the name with excellent control and edge support. It is far better in flex than other C2 BTX models and comes with stability that is from one end to other. As the C2 camber is combined with banana technology, it gives great carving abilities in hard pack ice and would smoothly remain afloat over the soft snow.

The beautiful combination of camber and Banana with superb flex really paves the way for poppy and aggressive ride in mountain terrain of knotty trees, cliffs and chutes. The directional twin shape of the board enables effortless freestyle riding. It is dreamy when floats over the powder and crud. Another intelligent feature is the double sintered sidewalls that literally slash the ice with a knife like precision to give total control and support along the edges. Now moving on to the looks, the Gnu Billy goat snowboard is very attractive and a real eye turner with bright blue base topped with a werewolf howl picture. The cost of the board is quite affordable taking the raw and tech features in mind. Overall, the board is true to its name that gives freedom control and power to its rider.
