Looking for a new board, suggestions pls :)
So any suggestions on size?
like the look of some of burton flying v’s, and theres a few good buys online inc k2’s.
tempted to suss out the on mountain stores and see if i can’t get a better price out of them and take along my un inc… ive got a few days in sydney on the way up too
I’d suggest you get something smaller than your current board. There’s no point getting them the same. The Uninc is a great all-round board and you can always use if for carving, big park jumps etc.
It sounds to me like you’re looking for something more playful; softish flex, nice and buttery for playing around and learning tricks etc. Correct?
If you like the Burton Flying V profile, I would suggest the Process Flying V 157. I think you’d have a lot of fun on that board.
I still prefer Burton’s V-rocker to their Flying V.

So I guess I’m pretty interested in the process flying v… wondering a bit whether a 155 or a 157 would be better. Tempted to keep my uninc (159) and run both.
Found a retailer offering them up for $550 inc a wheelie gig bad that I’ve got my eye on too

Look at the line in the snow a perfect carve turn makes - the thinner that line is, the cleaner the line the board has travelled. Centrifugal pressure forces the board into a convex arc mid-turn. Even a fully cambered board will form that shape when pressure is applied, as will rocker/flat/rocker and rocker/camber/rocker shapes. I’m no engineer, but I just can’t see how a rocker/camber/rocker/camber/rocker shape like Burton’s Flying V (or the various camber/rocker/camber shapes) can form that perfect arc, and not a slightly ‘wavy’ one. Perhaps it’s just my imagination, but it’s felt that way to me when I’ve ridden these types of boards.

Considering the RRP for a Wheelie Gig is around $169, that’s under $400 for a Process Flying V. It’s a good deal.
That’s a great deal. Definitely keep your Uninc. It’s a great board to have in your quiver.
Either the 155 or 157 will serve you well. It just depends how playful you want it to be. Shorter will be more fun and playful, longer will be a bit more stable and float a bit better in pow.
