The Pipeliner 2.0 - longboard carving snowboard - first look.
I started with a blank canvas two years ago wanting to create the most surefooted carving snowboard imaginable without compromising on tweakbility and surf feeling. Last week we got the first production boards in stock and I'm super stoked to show it for you. I think the topsheet design is absolutey gorgeous! And the ride is from all the prototyping on par with the looks. Check it out!

    @tbaart4428 6 місяців тому

    28mm waist is enough. I’d buy it for carving specifically. It’s gonna be tough to justify taking it into powder because it’s full camber (also who wants to run the chance of hitting rocks, tree stumps, and frozen pinecones with their pristine ~$700 board). Something that Nitro does to make their full camber freeride boards float easier is making a flex point right in front of the rear inserts. This was my experience on the Nitro Alternator. This lets the rider push their back foot down easier and lets the nose of the board poke out over soft snow easier. It also allows for some torsional twisting to make turning an overall stiff board more manageable.

  • @yannickdumont2679
    @yannickdumont2679 6 місяців тому

    You should offer 2 versions. A 260 and a 270 or 275 mm waist width. The nose should have a decambered section, 10 to 15 cm behind the contact point. Some soft snow and powder compatibility makes sense considering this board's dimensions.

      @White1404 5 місяців тому

      @@StrandaSnowboards For those of us small footed guys who wear 40 ish boot size, a 262 waist is too wide. Leveraging the board onto its edge will be difficult and slow and it will put too much strain on the Achilles Tendon. If you are truly aiming to cater to small footed riders, then you should design a board with a waist no wider than a 256. That extra 6 mm that you intend to give the board, will ruin the board for your intended demographic. Please reconsider.

    I just ordered the bird 154 for a party board ,can’t wait to try it , I’m on a amplifier pentaquark and snommolier, love both boards , also have lots of time on the freecave 9000 jones . for some reason I can go faster and lay a deeper more perfect trench with the snommolier it’s a swallowtail that’s fairly soft with a wide nose lots of taper. I ride low angle soft boots size 10 so need a wide board I tend to carve at high speeds between 30 and 50 miles an hour initiate my carbs in front of my front foot don’t really rely on the tail for much would love to try this board in a wider width. I bought two or three new boards a year mostly centered around carving and I’m looking forward to riding one of your boards . I live in New England mostly hard groomers and I ride 100+ days a year and love carving .

      I live east coast we have awesome snow this winter ('24) I ride similar style except I use my back foot for spraying snow or side hits... so +27 and +3/+6. I don't want too wide a board as edge change is slow unless you put a lot of effort into it. Waiting for a damp board which can soak up what hard snow has to offer and still dig moderate trenches. Biru or Cheater perhaps? Not sure...

    That was a great walkthrough. I am 1.8m tall and weigh 85kgs and I like to carve and explore the powder. As I’m in my 50s and I’ve been riding for 30 years I avoid the park. The sole of my size 43 boots measure 300mm. I am worried that the Descender maybe too narrow, but it looks great and I wonder about the wide version, then there’s the Biru, but I don’t know if I need a 154 or 157, finally the Bowlrider looks like it could be a great board for me and isn’t as crazy wide as the Biru. Any thoughts on which board would be best for me would be much appreciated. Kind regards from the English Lake District, Marcus. PS. I love the ethos of the Stranda Brand and your personal passion. I also smiled when watching one of your reviews and I saw you have a motorhome, we go off to the Alps in ours for Snowboarding and it really adds to the experience.

    As someone who’s boarded for 30 years and I’m torn between a Decender and a Biru, this is extremely interesting. My shoe size is a UK 8, but my boots are surprisingly big (actual length 300mm) so the 270mm waist sounds interesting. I weigh about 90kg in my gear and I do worry that the Decender will be too narrow. I like to carve + play in powder, so I like a fun responsive board that I can manage in all conditions and no hard on ice. In summary, what you’re proposing sounds good. I’ll be going to my local Stranda dealer the Sick and Wrong in Keswick England, later in the week. Any thoughts + advice much appreciated. PS. As a side note, I envy the fact that you’ve set up the company while equipped with a grey beard.

And through tortional flex it also allows the board to have 2 miniature sidecut radiuses depending if you are pressuring on the front or rear half of the board. But on a board like I described having that large of a radius would allow it to be extremely stable at high speeds through sweeping turns And high-speed off piste chunder. A race board would have something like a 155 cm of effective edge. I cannot find any stability on a freestyle board less than a 131 cm tho.

    Love that you're doing this. However, to me, offering a board at one size only makes little sense. Riders come in such a wide range of weights (affecting float in pow), heights (affecting stance widths), and boot sizes that it seems to me one size simply can't fit a wide range of riders. I get and appreciate the idea of niche boards, but there will still be a wide variety of rider sizes (as detailed above) in that niche. I can understand not offering a range like the big manufacturers do, but I would think even a "small, medium and large" would be an improvement in their accessibility to riders.

    Hi Mats! Pontus her that you met onn Flotsbro and Cervinia for 3 yers ago. A you may remember I ride a a few Donek boards. My last bord si a Donek Flux custom 172cm and 29cm ww, 155 cm EE with aa´ early rice and a custom powder nose . That board Is a game changer for me. i ride 30/12 angle with US 11,5. I have ridden a lot of boards with different ww and I don't feel any difference between 27,5 cm to 29 ww in mater of edge to edge speed. What I think matter most is the stiffness to your weight (me 110 kg) and side cut radius. Dampness is also part of it because you can do bigger turns hi speed. The flux has 9-11 vsr and I have plenty of time to set my self up to next turn. And I feel it's very quick and nimble on groomers. For my style of riding I wouldn't go under 28 ww to feel safe in high-speed carvs. If you are in Stockholm please let me know if you going to bring a prototype to Flotsbro I would love to see and test it. And you can try my board to see the different specs and feel.
