Snowboard's

[popshuvit]

I have finally got a bonus at work ( graemlins/woohoo.gif ) and now can afford to replace the old beast.
I am looking for an intermediate/advanced all mountain snowboard.
I will be using the board in Oz, and overseas early next year. (Jappow to be exact)
The board I am currently swaying towards is the K2 Zeppelin.
Has anybody ridden this board, who can give me an idea of what it is like.
I also like Forum & Option boards, but am unsure what they are like.
Muchly appreciated if anyone can give me a bit of advice on new snowboards?
Cheers in advance..

Option Signature.

option signature or makinen / nitro pantera just off the top of my head

I bought an atomic rapture 159 earlier this year and its awesome, the marketing blurb is fairly accurate. Its fast, stable and has lots of pop. I ride all mountain and its great.

Have just bought myself a new Burton Un.Inc cause I wanted a slightly smaller board and I got a great bargain. Actually, now that I'm talking about it, does anyone know how to pronounce the name of the Burton Un.Inc? Might start a new thread.

tested the signature and it was sooooo stiff & solid

if you want something to hold an edge that is your board

i thought a little unforgiving

what is the radius on that i reckon it would be huge ;) :D

cheers for the tips... may have to investigate the option boards...

Yes, Option is the way to go, if you want performance second to none at a good price and now with a 2 year warranty.

I am the proud new owner of - 1 Option Signature 07/08 board. After 6 days of extensive testing, i am wrapped with this fine piece of machinery :D A great board with a great holding edge and great for all mountain riding in all conditions! Yes as Caboose said " a little unforgiving ", I found this out whilst being a bit lazy...... Compared to my last board this one im gunna ride till it dies. :D

hey there - word has it that the Option Chris Dufficey is the way to go this year. It has essentially taken on the elements of the Makinen and then some.

And..

It has a coffee bean in it this year.
