The summer isn't officially over here (well lifts close tomorrow), but already the hype about next season is truly building. With the Art of Flight putting insane powder in the faces of the mainstream and giving every snowboarder I know an insane itch, new product is dropping into store and I just read my first product guide. This isn't the most up to date information as it's from the july edition of Onboard, but they did their test of next seasons boards last January.
As I'm sure you can imagine there is a lot of boards to choose from (or test) these days, but Onboard took their pick of the bunch for a more in depth review and from those they chose their top 10.
The top 10 was interesting in some of the brands that the testers chose, as well as the lack of some of the bigger names normally associated with these things, however LibTechs TRS and Travis Rice as well as Gnu's Parkpickle and Roxy's Envi all made the top 10. Go Mervin and power to the banana, or is that power banana, or C2 power banana. Either way they obviously work.
Incidentely with the exception of the Roxy we have them all to test at the chalet.
Now we all need is snow, have you heard the one about sun spots, more on that later.
