Hello! I've just bought my first board and I woud love a video about what scratches to worry about and how to fix them. Thanks for the content btw
Awesome, stoked you're stoked! When it comes to scratches its pretty easy. Little scratches on the bottom, not anything to worry too much, but if you take it to a shop with a base grinder they can smooth it out for you. Big, deep scratches, especially ones that go all the way through the base and hit the graphic/core. Get those fixed ASAP, it is something you can do yourself as a temporary fix but its always best to take it to a certified tech at a shop to make sure it's done properly.
I currently have a Deep Thinker (23-24) and was thinking of a second board. The Custom comes to mind. Would the Custom be a good add-on considering i have the Deep Thinker as well? so powder and groomers?
Really depends on your personal riding style and exactly what you want out of a 2nd board. But if you just want a great, traditionally shaped all-mountain ride it's hard to beat the Custom.
Personally when starting a quiver I always suggest grabbing something that’s a little further away from what you already have and build from there. Even though the Deep Thinker is a directional board, the balanced freeride geometry makes it feel like a traditional all mountain ride on flat snow. I’d say try something a little softer and more park focused but still has all mountain capabilities like the Process. This way you have a fun, chillin, cruising the park or resort board and a board for high speed resort runs that floats in the pow. It’s really up to you and your personal preferences as well. Like I said in the video, no one hates the Custom.
I had the Capita Mercury from last year but it unfortunately got stolen. Thankfully - I didn't love it... The Mercury was just WAY too stiff for me. It felt like I was riding a motorcycle instead of driving a car. I really had to constantly commit the entire time. That said - the last board I loved was my Burton Harvest. The Harvest was great but a bit too much chatter, pretty slow unless I was on groomer, but overall a really fun ride. Is the custom somewhere in the middle? I'd say I'm intermediate -> advanced. Back bowls and trees, groomers with the gf, and don't really hit the park anymore due to my age. Of course I look for side hits when they're there. Worth getting the custom or should I look into something less stiff? Is the flying V more playful? There's just so much info out there and trying to wrap my head around it. I only ride about a month per year, so no time to really demo something. Appreciate you taking the time to read this in advance!
@@Arcyantmakes sense, the Mercury is a little more on the “freeride” side of things and the Harvest was basically a “cambered” version of the Nug which was more of a traditional all mountain ride just a little softer and had the “Nug Raduction” so you could ride is smaller. From what you’ve said the Custom in the cambered version sounds like it would be a perfect match for you.
@@Sunandskiappreciate the info
As a 6’6 250lb size 13 sasquatch, would this board be one of the better all mountain boards or should I be leaning more towards skunk ape camber?
Both the Custom and the Skunk Ape are very comparable boards riding style wise and both come in a 170 that would be perfect for you 👍
Both of those boards would be great to be honest, you really can't go wrong either way. And to make things even better it looks like we have a few 170's in stock in both boards. This 24/25 seasons AND some form the 23/24 season on sale. Check em out here-> www.sunandski.com/c/snowboards?facetValueFilter=tenant~size%3A715
@@oldmanwintereight Thanks a bunch!
I’m looking at the process and the custom. I’m 6’1 175lb with a size 10.5 boot. I love shredding the mountain, and would love to get into more park riding. What board and size board would you recommend?
@@hudsonthomas1720 162 would be the perfect size in either of those first the style of riding you are talking about 👍
Does Matt have his own channel yet?
Possibly 😜!
What he said ^ 😂
could you please check out the burton deep thinker as well, thanks for the reviews
@@Namy22 ask and you shall receive!
Just finished editing it this week. Should be live by the 17th! 👍
@@oldmanwintereightdid you switch shops? Thought I saw you in Peter Glenn video..lol
@@6to8john Yeah, unfortunately due to budget cuts my dept was let go at PG. Brighter side is now I’m working with Sun & Ski to crank out even MORE content in addition to what is on the other channel
@@oldmanwintereight keep it up!!!
6’5 240 11.5 boot current board is a 166 do you think I’d benefit from a 170 or should I continue with the 166
@@vincentcarter3048 definitely would be a good fit. Mikkel Bang is 6’4” just under 200lbs and he is know to run the 170.
Do you think a 158W would work for 5’7 220 pounds because that’s the biggest board my local shop has for the custom ?
You would be fine on the 158 but one thing to note, if you don't have a foot thats size 12 or bigger theres no need to go for the "wide" version. The standard 158 had the same weight range as the 158w.
@ ok thank you
How does this compares to last years? Why would one upgrade? Thanks!
No changes except the graphic for 24/25. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it eh?
The Custom is such a good board they really didn't have to change anything but the graphic for the 24/25 season
Hey i’m 5’10 190 lbs with a size 11 boot. would you recommend a 154w or a 156 custom???
@@cursedcreature8939 I wouldn’t go any smaller than the 158 unless you are looking to ride just park all day long.
@ my concern would be is 158 too big for me to butter, spin and do occasional park runs??
@@cursedcreature8939 Not at all, you're only talking about adding 1cm of board to either side of your foot so you are not going to feel any difference in the swing weight. More importantly it's going to be more stable and have more spring and pop than the 156.
What bindings would you recommend to go along with this board? looking for high flex. Also, I'm 5'8, so do you think a 154 would work?
Theres a bunch of options for bindings that would great to be honest. Most traditional pairing would be the Cartel. As for the size if you are a pretty average weight for your height the 154 will fit you perfectly!

Hello, im 5’8 180lb would you recomend the 158 or 156?

What's a good "beginner board" to buy?
From the Burton line up the Ripcord or Instigator would be the best for beginners -> www.sunandski.com/search?query=ripcord+instigator
@@Sunandski
Thnx!
He sounds like Badger
He gets that alot!
Would you say a beginner could use the custom?
@@drewt8 wouldn’t recommend it, like Oldmanwinter8 said in the video it’s built with materials to make it more aggressive and lively feeling for rider who are a little more experienced. For a more beginner friendly I’d check out the Ripcord on Instigator.

INSTIGATOR: www.sunandski.com/search?query=Instigator
Wouldn’t be the best for beginners to be honest. Personally I’d suggest something like the Instigator or Ripcord. Not only are they more beginner friendly but they are less expensive too. This would free up some $ to get some nicer boots which is way more important for fit and overall comfort no matter what skill level you are 👍
@@oldmanwintereight ok thank you, I went to the flagship here in Boulder and they had be look at a 162W in the custom and I was hesitant to go with it without any experience. I am 6’2 180 with size 12 boots and was thinking their board sizing was pretty good so I don’t catch any edges or get toe/heel drag. I think going back and trying once of those two models would be great. I am thinking of the pure pop too as I want something that I can use as I get better
Does Peter Glenn know about your evil twin?!
Haha, don’t know but they laid ME off so 🤷♂️
@@IanCreel #1 pickup off the waiver wire this season!!! 😆
@@oldmanwintereight Damn. Sorry to hear that, but it’s a a good thing you can take all of the experience from your earlier reviews with you. Plus the Sun and Ski intro is poppier than the Peter Glenn one. Must be full camber ;)
@@IanCreel haha, all good! Got a few homies that I used to work with at The House over here too so stoked to work with them again too!
@@oldmanwintereighthaha I was going to ask what happened with Peter Glenn but now I see. I followed you wherever you go man lol. Good to know you are still here. Happy snowboarding season!!!
