How does the Manifest compare to the Shadowban? They seem to have similar specs / materials being from the same factory . It sounds like the Manifest is more damp and less playful. Thank you!
They aren't as similar as you would think and there is a lot more than just being more damp/less playful. Manifest has less set back on board in powder so less directional float if you like to set it back. The sidecuts are pretty different so the turning radius is different too. I found the Shadowban more turny/quicker to turn as well. If you want more in depth advice hit me up here so I can help properly. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/
I know you mentioned you rode the Manifest Team. Even though you didn't do a review, how would you compare it to the newer Manifest and the Passport, which apparently replaced the Manifest Team?
Nothing like the passport. Basically just a little less stiff version of the original Manifest but if I remember correctly the mellowed out the manifest the last few years and its more like the Manifest Team.
It can be on the technical catchy side. I'd have to know more. If you want to make sure you get the right bord for your specs, ability level, where you ride etc hit me up here so we can do this properly. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/
Just finished riding it. Super floater. Full review coming this summer. I have a short take of my experience up now for Patrons here www.patreon.com/thegoodride
So this has no taper, not as much set back and isn't as directional so much more of a centered stance twinish all mountain feel vs. the more freeride Passport. The Passport and Manifest have a similar flex, camber profile, and damp all conditions ride but they both turn and ride pretty different.
