@@tylerarnold3971that's awesome! You're going to love it.

@aidanhackett7106 in my opinion it did more than even it out. It gave it a bit of an extra boost of around 1 or 2 points more pop than a standard traditional camber around the same mid flex. The carbon configuration in this board is its main highlight so it's easy to ride while still offering an extra boost.

You'll love them! I really got to try the Merc with the new Falcor. I feel like it would be an excellent pair.

Got out on them yesterday and my god... thing rips.. deff happy ❄️​@@boardoftheworldcom

@mariankowalski9797 Absolutely will. Oddly enough, the Ultra is one of two boards waiting at my house for me to review. I just need the mountains near me to open and I'll get my thoughts together.

@arnolddejong9572 just making sure I follow the question. Do you mean because it's stiffer and more durable, is it safe to size down this version vs the regular? If that's what you meant, it probably would work one size down, just note the waist on this isn't any wider than the normal version.

@janschulz1867 I own the 154cm. I'm 142lbs with a size 9 boot.

Great question! I just looked at the brochures from both years, and there are no tech upgrades this year, so it's just the graphic that's updated for 2025.

@JulianMoses-o7i I personally own the SB resort twin as part of my quiver. I'd say the non pro Jones Tweaker is more of the comparable board to the SB Resort Twin. If you'll be carving and jumping more than jibbing, go Tweaker Pro. If you'll be looking for a balanced board that can jib and jump while carving decently, go resort twin. Mainly the Tweaker Pro is noticeably stiffer and damper than the Resort Twin. If you won't be pressing much, I'd consider the Tweaker Pro. If you will, go Resort Twin.

Yes, the standard Jones Tweaker is also excellent for us East Coasters. I wrote an in-depth review of the non-pro Tweaker version here: www.boardoftheworld.com/jones-tweaker-review/ The Tweaker Pro's in depth has a section where I compare both versions in a bit more detail here: www.boardoftheworld.com/jones-tweaker-pro-review-and-comparison/

@chrisbohm4305 thank you so much!

I have! I actually came to the Resort Twin from the Bataleon Evil Twin Plus. Both are boards I owned for one full season. I had the Bataleon ET+ in 2023 and the Capita SB Resort Twin for 2024. They are similar in versatility,, and power, but differ in carving feel, jibbing performance, and overall speed. The Bataleon Evil Twin Plus is noticeably faster. The upgraded base alone is worth the $60 upgrade from the regular ET btw. Jibbing and buttering work well on both boards, but I think the ET+ is better in this category with the exception of nose and tailpresses. The tripple base tech just made trying to balance nosepresses on rails feel harder than it needed to be. Otherwise, it's the better jibber - the flex worked well for all sorts of sideways jib tricks like tailslides or boardslides (the flex hugs the rail making it easier to balance on the feature for most situations as long as you are not trying to balance on the arced shape of the nose itself). The Resort Twin is the better board for jumping - It's stiffer torsionally (toe to heel) than longitudinally (it's pressable more so long ways than toe to heel) due to carbon boosters in the tip. This offered some more of a traditional feeling pop and offered more landing stability, but made those sideways jib tricks feel like I really had to focus on balancing on rail features. In terms of carving, the ET+ was slightly damper, offering a smoother ride, but I felt less locked into turns. The Resort Twin was the more locked in carver for resort riding. Ultimately, I preferred the Capita Resort Twin and sold my ET+. They both rip and you can't make a wrong choice. I just got injured on my ET+ and sold it to try to get that bad luck out of my quiver. Good luck with board search and please check out my full reviews for both boards to read more about the specifics about what I thought of both: Resort Twin - www.boardoftheworld.com/capita-spring-break-resort-twin-review/ Evil Twin Plus - www.boardoftheworld.com/bataleon-evil-twin-plus-snowboard-review/

The first exact type of comment I was looking for. Looks like I’m buying the Resort🤙🏼🙌🏼 thanks

Your comment is nudging me to go to the Nitro X Snowboarder Mag event at Big Snow NJ on Sept 13th. There is a Nitro demo at that event. I was on the fence about going, but I'd like to try it out.

The main deal is its upgraded to be lighter, more comfortable, and now have the asymmetric highback with carbon built into it for more response. I go into depth on the upgrades in the written post which I forgot to link in the description - www.boardoftheworld.com/union-falcor-review-upgrade-or-skip-these-bindings/

You'll love it! Wishing you so much luck for the season.

So it's been 3 months now. How are you getting on. What size are you riding? What type of riding etc??

@@snowboardingraptor7005 unfortunately, I live in the northeast and the season is about 2 weeks away from starting. I have rode at the indoor place in NJ a few times. However, I have not taken out the new toy just yet. This Friday the 22, going to killington. I will let you know as soon as I ride it. I don’t ride park much, but I’m slowly getting into hitting boxes and small side hits/jumps. I can ride blacks with ease.

I rode it in a 148, but I am only 5' 6" and 142lbs with a size 9 boot. I wanted it to be a bit wide because all of the other boards in my quiver aren't. The Service Dog has a soft feel to it. I'd consider meeting int the middle and getting the 153 it'll have the flex they intended for your weight range while still giving the volume shifted benefits of being a bit shorter for you.

Nice! It's a fun cheap addition to the quiver, but definitely not a one board quiver on its own. I hope you get to rip it a bunch before your season is over.

Thanks for the note and for watching.

Hey thanks for the honest feedback! I am a 40 year old east coast rider with a tons of bad habits. I'll make an effort to really try to improve linking my turns.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I loved the Ultra's so much so that I bought a second pair! In my reviews you'll start to see me switch between a white pair of 2023's and this blue pair of 2024's. Both are equally awesome in my opinion. Have you tried them yet? If not, do it! For me, the highlight is how comfortable they are. The bushing they sit on is like the sole of a running shoe. The ankle strap feels like a dream, and it was never too soft that I felt like I lacked something in my riding. Here is my full review of Ultras - www.boardoftheworld.com/union-ultra-bindings-review/ Oh you might be stoked to hear this -> I got to ride the 2025 upgraded Union Falcor bindings. Those will include the same running shoe-type bushing as the Union Ultra with a more responsive straps and highback. I loved them too, and I will be releasing my video for them as it gets closer to the September launch date. It's basically Union's new binding for someone wants the comfort of the Ultra in a more responsive, all mountain focused binding.

100%, yes. The edge hold in this deck allows it to grip to ice beautifully. It was built for us. (I too am an East Coaster. I live in Pennsylvania and reviewed this board in Vermont.)

Oh yeah! This board is the more super-charged carving-friendly / damper version of the tweaker. It's responsive and can make turns of all sizes. It feels in control / stable at all times without it being overly catchy, if that makes sense. If you want to learn a little more about that board than I mentioned in the video, I wrote an in-depth review of it here, too. - www.boardoftheworld.com/jones-tweaker-pro-review-and-comparison/

Hell yeah, Martin! I haven't had the chance to ride the Aviator 2.0 out yet. They both have a similar construction with Koroyd built in. Jones puts both around a 7. I can say that number rating felt accurate to my feet. I've ridden the Jomes Mountain Twin and reg Tweaker. The Tweaker Pro felt around 2 notches stiffer.

@@boardoftheworldcom thanks man, just took mine out for the first time today, what a weapon! Carves like a dream, super responsive edge to edge, and all kinds of pop! Absolutely awesome for short radius, technical gripped turns, and more drawn out carves. The park was closed today but was super fun on piste and the side hits. It's right on the borderline of butterable for me, doable but not what I'll gravitate towards on this board. I'm still getting used to spinning on it, but I'm sure that will come with time. Today was the most fun I've had on the hill in a while so I'm stoked!

Thank you so much! I don't take it for granted that I can still get to do this.
