Wow what site did you get em from?

 

Bought it in-store at Sporting Life here in Toronto.  It’s kinda like a high-end Sport Chek but carry a lot of expensive sportier designer clothing.  I don’t think they have any stores out in the west.  At least I don’t recall seeing any. 

They are having 40% off all 2013 snowboard / ski at the moment.  I was very surprised to see Now bindings there as they aren’t a dedicated snowboard shop.  Picked up the last pair.  They don’t have as much stuff online though.

There’s a minimum testicle size requirement to ride NOW bindings. That’s what the tape measure is for.

I’m guessing they don’t have a Women’s range then?

Or do they have an imaginary tape measure for our “theoretical balls”. Cos I’m certain I have more “balls” than some of the guys I know.. haha

More than two?????

 

Here’s a bit of info that’ll clear up a couple things in the thread.  The PYL is now made at GST.  Nidecker no longer manufactures them.  The demos from last year were probably Nidecker prototypes, and the boards in the shops are GST, that’s why they may feel different.  GST has one of the lowest warranty rates out there, so I’d expect that there should be fewer problems with any YES. boards than there has been in the past.  The GST produced PYL is a bit closer to Flat Camber Flat than the more Rocker Camber Rocker from Nidecker.  It is a bit more of a hardcore charger, and the tail should be a bit less likely to wash on big landings.  I have a 2012 and a 2013 here in the office, and comparing them the 2013 feels a bit stiffer too. 
Talking to DCP, he says he likes the 2013 a bit better.  He said 25% better in fact!  haha.  Next year’s graphics are insane, by the way.  You can see a sneak peak of it here:

Also, as far as balls and women go, Helen Schettini is on NOW and loves them.  But as Betty White says: Why do people say “Grow some balls”?  Balls are weak and sensitive.  If you really wanna get tough, grow a vagina.  Those things can take a pounding.
