I was sitting in my room today and noticed i had these three board sitting here. So i thought i would tell you a little bit about them.

There is one main difference between these boards and that is there "camber". Left to right:

Normal camber on my last years K2 believer, this has been around for ages and I still like it for some good euro carving but this camber is not as necessary to create more pop with all the new torsion forks and technology you will find inside a new board these days.

Than we have the same board but the 2009/10 model which has flatline, flatline is pretty much no camber what so ever and in this day and age thats just what I need to ride the hole mountain, it lets me get away with landings and jibbing but still lets me hold a good edge in the pipe or on park jumps and it's perfect for New Zealand wind blown POW shredding and jumping.

Last but not least is my Gyrator which comes out on a pow day. This "thing" has got some serious rocker (reverse camber) and floats on pow like the Titanic before it hit an Iceberg. I have not found a better feeling than dropping some big deep lines on this and it land in powder for you you just put your feet down and it rides away. This is the board that does not let you get sore feet on a pow day from leaning back and you don't have to set your stance way back so riding the Gyrator switch down your favourite line is easy. But this thing is really mad for the deep stuff so if you want a good compromise in New Zealand i would go for similar "K2 Turbo Dream". Ooh and these things are great fun in deep slush too.



Me and the "Grom" AKA "Anton" went for a late shred as the storm moved out at Cardrona.



It was supper windy but we found lots of pow on the side of the park and every time we dropped the shoots our tracks were blown back in. Me trying to ride switch.



Mini shoots are everywhere up Cardies.



Anton found where he belongs.



And than the wind picked up again.



Yesterday I was home observing hundreds of people hike up Mt Iron and than this southerly storm rolled into wanaka in a matter of minutes and I really enjoyed watching everyone run for there lives back down Mt Iron as the rain and hail bucketed down.
