..here's an email from december's team Rider Sean...Sean is a extremely devoted snowskater who enjoys riding single decks, who better to test out and give feedback on the new team single design...
..
you might think this is a bias testimonial.......... but it sure beats me talking about it.....
"Kev, I just wanted to give some feedback on the new single
.
Size- I think the size is perfect for a single, not too big, not to small, I tried my buddys 32inch XXXX and I just couldn't ride it, nothing against (XXXX) snowskates but it just felt way too small. (but I guess that's just what I prefer)
.
channels- I love the channels on the board, it gives it way more control than the last single, and for a flat deck I feel like the control/turning is really good. i got the chance to ride a little powder with it (just like 4 or 5 inches) but it actually rode great in it, it was really fun
.
Pop- The pop is sick, again comparing it to the last single..way better but yeah it is definitely good size kicks.
.
Weight- Also perfect, it is much lighter than you think it would be by looking at it (again compared to the last single, much better), I don't think you would want it much lighter.
.
Grip- The grip is good, the snow doesn't seem to stick to it, but it has already started peeling on the edges on a few spots, so maybe for next time to somehow seal the edges or something to prevent that? i dont know about that one
.
bottom- I love the graphic, it is nice and simple but you can read December from a good distance ( which is definitely something you want) as far as putting the epoxy around the edge to stop the ptex or whatever that material from peeling is, it is a great idea and I am pretty sure it will hold up, nothing has happened yet but as I use it more, I will let you know how it holds up.
.
Over all- I think it is a sick/great deck. If you plan on making a line of single decks over the summer for next season I would definitely say make this deck..its so sick, I love it.
.
sorry if I wrote an essay haha the second teaser/preview is out for the maples film. Its a fast paced teaser (just warning you its a sneak peak, you just get clips thrown at you), it may be tough to tell but there are a few shots of me in it on the new deck ( all the rest are the old December single) graphic. http://vimeo.com/9657775
bummed not seeing a December ad in the new starfish haha

a storm this big awakens the greatest breaks along a rarely surfed stretch of funky obscure coastline, winter is the best....fingers are crossed
