Just returned from 12 days snowboarding vacation back in best conditions. In my bag I had my brand new Pantera SC 166 with a nitro Machine binding and Nitro Reducer Boots. This is my very first softboot board, before I drove my 2 seasons soft Hooger beginner board, and then 15 years exclusively the F2 silver arrow. I did not expect that I will be more confident softboot driver so quickly, but that is part of the hammer, although relatively expensive (with the Machine bond are loosely 1100 - Euro payable). On the slopes, driving is super quiet with rich edge grip (I weigh nearly 90kg). Deep snow or heavily rutted afternoon slopes are a dream finally comes back fakie drive (it had almost forgotten). Compared to the race board, it is very lively, yet not for absolute beginners. The downside: It can in my experience not quite as radical on the edge drive as the Silver Arrow but I like to take into account for generally great driving characteristics, the extreme Carver forgive me, but you will not stop jünger.Dies is imho a super board for transfer passengers who are looking despite Softboots a hard piste board with a lot of camber for heating. As bond angles I had only tried Duckstance 15 / -12, but that was totally in the pants, am now at 24/12 as in the blessed nineties and it's running great. I would buy the board at any time, in exchange for skiers fraction moves so well again in the distant future.
