Bought the 2023 Excuvator. went out backcountry in Turnagain, Alaska. it absolutely killed it. effortless board. we'll see how it performs at the resort.

@holeblocker Год назад

Wow. Top 5 Carvey Cruiser, Allmtn Freeride, Beefier, and now Pow. Rome Ravine Select seems like a beast this year. Definitely looking to pick one up!

@ilterates Год назад

I got endeavor with your suggestion. I haven't been able to ride it yet but waiting for the next storm in tahoe but I know it will be awesome. Can't wait.

@rgtorque Год назад

Sad to see the surfer falling down the list. I hope you get a chance to try the limited vs the regular. It's a hair bit stiffer and give a more all mountain feel. Great all day board but epic in the deeps and trees. Thanks for another great vid.

@stevros48 Год назад

what lengths are you riding in each board ? Ive got the 153 orca and a 162 archetype but i find in crappy conditions i will ride the Orca way more , to me its better in messed up in resort conditions , big steep pow i go for the archetype

@homealone5087 Год назад

Any plans on doing a top 5 women's powder boards? Gfs going to need one this season.

@ArihantSethia07 Год назад

Hey Avran! I am looking for a board that does well in steep, heavy PNW pow, manages well in the left over crud after a pow day and possible nimble in trees. Debating between 2023 Rome Ravine Select & K2 Excavator @150lbs & Sz 7.5 feet. What would another board that you would recommend to make this a 2 board quicker for more relaxed days.

@caspiankai5070 Год назад

So stoked I picked up the K2 excavator last season based on your review and equally stoked to ride it again this season. Thinking about possibly picking up a swallowtail (K2 special effects but considering other options). Are you doing top5 swallows list again?

@ZhGin Год назад

There's no dedicated review for Ravine Select 2023 yet but it can probably be made just from the cuts of its mentions from all the top 5s. 😂 Bought one and I think it will be a great stiff board addition to replace my old K2 Raygun.

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

@alsedaghat7806 Год назад

Have you heard anything about the Jones Ultra Mind Expander? Had a few recommendations on it and just wanted to see what you thought!

@nfludwig Год назад

Thanks for the videos man! I’m 5’9”, size 9 boot and 150lbs. Looking to get the Navigator for Japan. What size do you recommend for the pow. My daily driver is the mega merc in 157.

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

57 or bigger.

@sick1551 Год назад

Hey Angry! Love all the reviews. I’m going to be spending a month or so in Japan next season and want to pick up the perfect japow board, ideally would have really good performance on low angle pow and can still aggressively carve on groomers. My riding style leans more towards harvesting as much speed as possible and thrashing instead of a laid back surfy ride. Any of these boards you would say are the best fit for that? Other boards I thought might fit the bill are the ume, peace seeker, super pig, or maybe a Korua dart?

@MultiSneakerLover Год назад

😂

@sakesidestudios 2 месяца назад

The Orca mention had me dying lol. Absolutely love my Orca, but it definitely does not float like I thought it would.

@frazerrennie1340 Год назад

Nice section 👍

@snones7 Год назад

Hey Avran how is the PYL Uninc as a general freeride board for shittier conditions? Chop, chunder, and harder, icier snow? Would you only bring it out for pow days? Thanks!

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

That's exactly what it's for. It's probably the most well balanced deck on this list for all conditions. If I was going to have something as a freeride/pow deck and it was from this list it would only be that board.

@vhex61 Год назад

Have you tried niseko pleasure ? Any reviews coming up? Prefer the simple pleasure ?

@Bohdisattva326 Год назад

Nice brovember rain. Real nice bro 😎

@user-wb2sz1yi8j Год назад

Yes PYL uninc, Rome Ravine Select, Capita Kazu or any other suggestions looking for a stiff aggressive pow focused freeride to compliment a mega merc and old mind expander.

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Kazu is really the only one that makes sense as the PYL and Ravine Select are kind of a lateral move to what you have.

@fabiendanten Год назад

I saw you really like the Jones Ultra Mind Expander for the carving, but what do you think about it in a powder day ? I already have the YES Typo I bought last year after seeing your video about it, I use it for all day moutain and some park, but I am looking for a new board to use for Carving and Powder day, would you rather recommand the JonesIltra Mind Expander or the Capita Navigator ?

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

It's a stiffer pow board that requires a lot of focus when driving it through a turn. If you want more pow it's Navigator all day, you want to carve it's UME.

@jimmychung3275 Год назад

Hey Angry, intermediate/advanced rider in PNW. 6’2” 185lbs with US10.5 boots. Currently on 156 Sashimi XV. Still getting used to deep carves but loving the board. Been eyeing the new Excavator and 158 just popped up 👀 would it be redundant to keep both? Mainly riding Whistler and Baker for trees and deep pow bowl days 🤘🏻

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Super redundant.

@genegraves6963 Год назад

Navigator looks rad af. Have Shadow Ban. Do I need this? I don’t go to Whole Foods or Shop at REI. Been waiting for this list. Thanks

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Having a dedicated powder board for Hood isn't a bad idea.

@neversummer5091 Год назад

What should one expect for the Peace Seeker in Pow?

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

A nice leg workout.

@ryant527 Год назад

Nice video, where would you say the Capita Kazu Pro stacks up to these? Especially against the Navigator. Thanks!

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Kazu sits in a different category.

@job11133u 3 месяца назад

I’ll let you know, just got the 23 kazu. Took it in about 3-4 feet of crap and bullshit and it did ok. My resorts closing so I’m gona go ride backcountry next week. Figure she’ll do fine, just gona slam the bindings back. Overall though it’s a fucking awesome board. I love it.

@job11133u 3 месяца назад

In case you were still wondering one year later lmao

@robbie2671 Год назад

what would you reccomend for steamboat flat pow? my slush slasher ate through most of it but those flat sections get really annoying. is there any board that would help more?

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Ravine Select, that 3D shaping in the tips will help funnel the pow out when you're cutting back to Pony or trying to make it to Sunnyside.

@theirb123 Год назад

I’m torn on PYL sizing. 6’ 210 12 boots, you think 159 or 161? Plan on it for steeps and pow. Been leaning toward 61.

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

61.

@alex_liou Год назад

Looking to grab the k2 excavator for some powder, trees, and groomers! What size would you recommend? I’m 5’4” 128 lbs

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

48 or whatever it is near that size.

@spencermoersfelder3964 11 месяцев назад

Yo Avran. Whatcha think about PYL Uninc vs Navigator for more pow oriented freestyle including some switch carving, takeoffs and landings? Rocking a Standard Uninc and it’s good until it gets too deep then my back leg burns and I didn’t skip leg day. Like mid road flex and I’m 6’ 200lbs size 11. Bachelor. Lotsa trees. Thinking 161 but maybe 164 on the Navigator. Thanks for whatever advice you can give.

@AngrySnowboarder 11 месяцев назад

PYL UnInc is the better choice for some freestyle pow riding. Navigator for straight pow.

@spencermoersfelder3964 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Avran

@toosublime1 Год назад

As an Archetype owner too just curious what’s any nuance difference in how the Bataleon Surfer rides different compared to the Archetype?

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Surfer has a better hull shape in the nose so it funnels snow better, the swallowtail is wider so the dispersion is different as well as how it snaps as it's softer when flat basing, I also find the Surfer stiffer underfoot.

@marascott6570 Год назад

Hey angry snowboarder, I'm going to your neck of the woods the second week of April. What do you think I should ride from my quiver. I ride East Coast Advanced to intermediate free ride, moguls groomers ice ice whatever. Normally i ride a 151 or 155 camber / camrocker. But I'm not sure if these are going to be good at a-basin and surrounding areas. So I also have two volume shifted boards. A 142 Burton's stick shift, and it 149 ish war pig. Sometimes the war pig is a bit much for me in the heavy chop of the east. What do you think I should bring?

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Whatever you feel comfortable riding. Conditions could be full pow, could be mashed potato slush, and everything in between.

@nicklarson801 Год назад

Ravine Select looking like the #1 all around resort crusher for us old dudes that stay away from park.

@or-ian6973 Год назад

When they on sale it’s a lot of board for the money.

@OHC444 Год назад

its fun in the park too imo

@munkycox Год назад

I picked up a previous year model for cheap. Can't wait to get it out and shred.

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

I'd smash the park with one and not sweat it.

@kerbietalan9537 Год назад

i like watching your reviews, all fact. by the way I'm planning to purchase K2 excavator 2023 seems like a very good board for hokkaido Japow, my question is do you think an advance beginner( can make an S turn smoothly) can handle this board?. I'm looking forward for your suggestion. the snow in Hokkaido is pretty deep even in groomed area, Thank you!

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

No.

@himboslice_ Год назад

if you can’t carve why do you need a $600 pow board lol

@henrytaatjes77 Год назад

What Size would you reccomend me for the Capita Navigator? Im 6'4" and weigh 175lbs

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

58 or whatever it is around there. I'm too lazy to look up exact size.

@skipskipper99 Год назад

How's the dancehaul in steep pow/trees‽ waiting for your review on it coming shortly.

@IamMarian Год назад

Terrible

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Trees it's super solid, if it's fresh pow in the steeps it's manageable, if it's choppy and crap, you'll want something stiffer.

@aaronburela432 Год назад

Last year I bought the hovercraft over the Capita navigator and I still wonder what that board would be like in comparison.

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Little softer in the nose, more tail for driving a turn, not as damp as the Hovercraft, similar float, Hovercraft has slightly better edge hold.

@jonnynails 7 месяцев назад

I live out East but am looking for a powder board for my 3-4 trips west each season. Looking for something with good float that I can also ride resort with after the pow is tracked or in order to get to the goods. 6'1, 210lbs, 9.5 boots. The K2 Excavator made my list - I think the 158 size wise would work? Any other boards I should be looking at for average size feet and above average girth?

@AngrySnowboarder 7 месяцев назад

You probably want the 54 honestly. Plenty of other great pow boards out there though.

@boardhead6720 Год назад

Just picked up a new softer Optimistic hoping it rides pow in a way that rivals the ones on your list. What do you think?

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

Wouldn't be my first choice.

@boardhead6720 Год назад

@johnschnettler1236 Год назад

Hey man I’ve got a sizing question. Bought the 158 excavator on sale. I’m 6’1”, 170 lbs, and size 10 boot. Did I fuck up? Seems like 154 might’ve been the better move, I’m currently on a 160 Kazu and 161 splitty both of which feel great. Thanks in advance!

@AngrySnowboarder Год назад

That’s a big board. I wouldn’t have put you on it.

@johnschnettler1236 Год назад

Thanks man I had a hunch. As silly as it may sound I’m returning and swapping for the 159w passport. After hearing Dirksen’s bomb hole I’m sold on riding a board in the 265mm waist range

@stevem4438 Год назад

5’8” 200lbs size 9 - would 158 excavator for all round powder board mixed conditions (trees, steep, open, low angle) work or 154 better?
