I grabbed the cadet from the choice as well! I think this board is underrated. I rode it last year as their demo model. and couldn't get it out of my head. I didn't hesitate on the 158 model as my wife could also rip it in the deep stuff when I venture into my longer boards. let's hope this season provides! When Fernie gets the snow this plank won't be in the bank it will be well placed in the currie 5hundy! paired it with some unions and Salomon Echo's for a great ride! see ya on the slopes! Girl/Dad out!
Sweet! Another local rider. I'm looking forward to a full season on it but I haven't taken it out yet. The snow is coming but I have my fingers crossed just in case.
Thanks for the review. I demoed the cadet in the same length this weekend. And I loved it. Out of all the boards I demoed, this was my favourite. I was astounded of how well it gripped, granted it doesn’t have any grip tech on it. And it was simply such a fun turner. I might get one even though I have enough boards as it is 🤷🏻♂️
@TheLushund Agreed. I've only been out on one spring day and it handled everything from the icy morning to the slushy afternoon really well. Overall I just feel comfortable and at home on the Cadet.
I've got a 2016 Deep Reach. It kills it in powder trees. A friend has also lent me his Covert splitboard. It is super fun to ride and has been able to handle all conditions exceptionally well. I am just a bit sad that they changed the outline and shape of both boards for this season.
Thanks for the preview of the Cadet. What size board did you go with? Do you feel like it's a good fit for your specs? I was thinking about getting either the Cadet or the Horizon this year.
I have the 162 and at 6ft 225 lbs I like the way it handles. I've only been out for one spring day so I'll be putting it through the paces next season. I haven't ridden the Horizon so I can't speak to that.

@@RustySnowboarder definitely some baby sharks still lurking around Kimbo!

Thanks for the info. It's good to hear that other people are having a good experience with the boards.
