Demo Day! // Riding 5 New Snowboards

My snowboard budget will be put to the test this off season. The future is primed for some new equipment, however I'm out of touch with the new snowboard companies, shapes, and styles.
Demo Day is coming to the rescue to help figure out how to spend my money. I'm riding five different boards today: United Shapes Cadet, Capita Aeronaut, Burton Alakasam, Salomon Super 8, and Salomon Taka Edge.
There's a bit of a strange moment right out of the gate. The first technician I talk to essentially says “check this board out, it’s like an old Burton Air from the 90's.” What are the odds of that? I haven't even told him about my first board, my riding style, or anything.
If you’re expecting a full review of each board then you’re in the wrong place. I don’t have enough knowledge for anything that useful. That being said, I will rank the boards at the end of the day using my arbitrary, non scientific, dumb guy analysis. If that’s worth anything to you.
My Burton Air is over 30 years old my Burton Floater is over 20 years old so there's room for something new and shiny. Plus, I upgraded to Burton Step On bindings earlier this season so I'm not afraid of the new technology.
Where will I spend my money this summer? I'm not sure yet. One of the snowboards from today has caught my eye, but there are so many boards I haven't even looked at yet.
Time will tell I suppose. That means you’ll have to come back next season to see where I wind up. Don’t forget to mark your calendar.
