So I'm from Colorado and grew up riding Never Summer, Burton and Sims boards. I love the Never Summer's feel and it's been a local company for me which I like but this board disappointed me. I didn't have it too long before one of my edges split and pulled away from the board. After looking at the base near the edge it was shocking at how easily it split since there was basically no material gouged out of the base. I tried to claim a warranty but they said it wasn't faulty materials, and that it was due to hitting a hazard. Yeah, it might have been my fault but it didn't seem like it should have split as easily as it did.

That being said, it was a great board before the incident. I really like the more damp feel of the board. It doesn't feel super jittery and bouncy when pounding the chop. I just wish the customer service were a little better.

I picked this board up as my powder stick since my skier friends kept talking up their fatty sticks. I was shocked at the difference it makes. This board is incredible in the pow. All my other board have been neglected since this purchase. The float in the pow is effortless and makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Since the stance is set back 5 cm and has a tapered design from front to back, the nose rises out of the snow so easily. Probably not the best for those who demand riding switch often but you will not regret the benefits this board can offer if you are able a mountain that offers frequent powder.

Great through the trees, in the steeps, pow fields, moguls, feels a little different on the groomers but not anything you can't get used to. Can't really opine on the park since I detest waiting in lines again just to hit a kicker. Anyways why take a board that likes to play in the pow to the ice-packed park?

This shoe is excellent. I never thought a trail running shoe could perform this well. I use them for everything including trail running, backpacking, canyoneering (Till I get in the water), hiking and mountain biking. They have excellent grip and great ankle support for the type of shoe that it is. It locks my ankle in place for those steep descents and keeps the foot from sliding forward and crushing your tootsies. The toe box also has some room so the toes don't feel claustrophobic. Some people have complained about the insoles but I personally feel they are pretty good. I've taken these on 25+ mile canyoneering trips through the desert and never had an issue. I would definitely buy these again.

I bought these for a Zion National Park trip and was amazed. Before I was using a pair of board shorts but these blew my mind. They are super comfy and give excellent leg movement and range when scrambling, rappelling and climbing. They dry really quick when swimming potholes in the slot canyons. Also they are lightweight and feel thin for heat reduction but they still are really durable (Which is necessary when sliding across sandstone and things in the desert. Would definitely buy again. Maybe I'll get another pair.

I bought a pair of these before a trip to Zion National Park. I chose these over Merrells and other brands due to the comfort and lack of pressure points right out of the box. I did notice the heel strap slipped a bit when I first bought them but after I hit the desert with them the slippage stopped. I guess I just needed a little sand to wear in the strap a little so it could be gripped.

I probably hiked 25+ miles through open desert and 3 slot canyons and they worked great. I used to wear Chacos on these trips but always came away bleeding after wet sand would work its way under the straps and rub. For the sake of self preservation I bought these and was shocked at the difference.

They have excellent grip both on dry ground and in the rivers and they drain really well. They keep the rocks from getting in. The only thing that worked its way under my foot was a little really fine sand. They dry super quick. Each morning I slipped them on and were completely dry.
I followed the recommendation and wore them with socks and my friend uses his without. I had no spots that rubbed or anything but my friend did have to bandage his Achilles with medical tape. I'd go with socks, its less painful unless you are doing shorter distances. That's my two cents.

My buddies all ski and convinced me to get back into skiing so I bought some Rossi S3's. Not impressed. Then I got some P4's for the pow days. This is an incredible ski. It is so damp that you don't get thrown all over when your busting through chop. Although its a relatively wide underfoot (108mm @ 191cm length), it handles great on groomers and ice, and its been decent for me in the moguls. It really shines in the pow and chop. This skis a little short due to the Pro-Tip geometry so the 191 feels more like a 185 or so.

One of my friend uses this ski as his all-mountain ski because its capable of all types of terrain. To say the least, because of these skis I have spent more days skiing this year than snowboarding.
