The Super 8 is SICK. Such an overlooked board and is more versatile than people realize. You can find a 19/20 model for under $400 which is a ton of board for the price.
Is it good for high speeds,carving and for casual jumps ? Thanks
I just bought a lightly used one for 245
@@bartcarver5304 wow good price! Enjoy! Im seriosly thinking to buy one for next season.
My favorite board. It's great for carving. Great work as always.
I have the 2019 in 163cm and I ride it whenever I can access big, open terrain with deep snow. Or, if I'm going to the very top of the resort and expect mixed conditions, this is the board I take. Only things I'll add to this review are:
1. The back foot camber really does help pop the nose up. Along with the 3D shape nose, it really does great in deep snow.
2. Something about the dimensions of this board just feels balanced to me. The nose pops up above the snow, but my back foot doesn't sink too far because of the size and shape of the tail. Unlike a lot of swallow tail boards I demo'd last year, I didn't bottom out and hit crust beneath ~4 inch powder. Maybe not as fun on really deep days, but something to think about.
3. The sidecut radius is pretty massive. The board is a dream in big areas like bowls and open faces, where you can maintain a lot of momentum and make wide turns. But, it takes a lot of muscle to navigate through tight trees.
I find it amazing in tight trees
This has 3D shaping in the nose? Zero info about that on Salomon website...?
@@bakamono7 The one I have does. Maybe they didn't do it this year. Unsure.
Nose was definitely flat on this.
I have a 2020 Mt.Bachelor edition and after spending three days on it in powder and groomers at Bachelor this thing is amazing. Turns quick, plenty soft for butters even in the tail, floats well in powder. Slightly wider than most 157cm boards which is perfect for me at 6ft 205lbs. I originally got it for powder tree run days at Bachelor and other Oregon resorts. But honestly I’m going to use it all the time now unless the conditions are as worse as they can get. I’m at a 2” set back and it’s perfect.
It was literally designed for riding Bachelor thanks to Josh Dirksen.
@@AngrySnowboarder Exactly. Thanks for all the reviews. I’ve watched a lot. I also bought a GNU essential service and sadly I’m disappointed. Too stiff for me for a mess around board. I like my old Space Case better
Just got this exact model for this upcoming season. Found it on sale for 20% off which was nice. Looking forward to riding it at my local resort Revelstoke Mountain Resort in BC. I think itll translate well a lot of the PNW mountains get similar snow this should be great. Very excited for my first new board in 10 years.
The Evo link goes to a splitboard! Even comes with free skins. Are they skinning skiers now?
Nice arapabro basin Real nice 👍🏿 bro
Bigger guy here, 6' 1" 230-240 lbs. Mostly stick to groomers, some trees now and then and powder when it's there. Looking at this or the Rome Warden. Any suggestions or alternate recommendations that might be better?
What's your boot size?
@@AngrySnowboarder 29.5
@@AngrySnowboarder currently riding a super old. Ride Control 163. Think it is probably the 04 model year.
You might want a beefier board than the Warden. Maybe a Jones Flagship would suit you better.
I'm thinking about getting the 2022 Assassin Pro. Is there going to be a review video? If not what are your thoughts on it?
Hi Avran, Looking to get the Super 8 or the Burton Cartographer. I'm a east coast freerider at an immediate level. 6'2", 200 lbs, 10.5 boot. Which do you think is the best for holding an edge at speed in icy/hard conditions, but yet can be playful all mountain? I'm looking at 160-163 board length. Thank you (oh, the Ride WildLife looks interesting as well)
Never ridden the Cartographer so can't comment on that. Super 8 is great when the conditions are right, but one thing it lacks in is edge hold on ice. That sidecut just does not grip as well as others out there. Wildlife is on par with the Super 8 and has a better sidecut.
Love your straight up no bullshit reviews Angry. We have just finished our season here in NZ and I can pick up a 160 Salomon 8 for $360 US on sale. I have a 164 Cafe Racer (not ridden yet), 162 & 158 Skeleton Key, 163 w Deep Thinker and a 158 wide Custom X. I am 53 years and just getting back into it after 10 years and just love to attempt to carve as hard as I can. I like the specs and price of this board do you think it would be a worthwhile addition to my current quiver? Or am I dreaming ?Thanks for a all your work and awesome info and reviews and have a phenomenal season🤙.
You don't need it you'll have too much overlap between the Cafe Racer and Skeleton Key/Custom X. Save the cash, buy more lift tickets.
Thanks heaps Angry you are a legend mate have a awesome season thanks again really appreciate your help🤙
Hi there,
i am getting a super 8 but im not sure on the size, i am 5ft9 and 82kg. i want to use this board for all mountain , carving, freeride and charging.
would you go 160cm or 157cm? i hear the longer size would be more stable at high speeds?
Thank you
I'd go with the 60 for what you want.
I’ve got a chance to ride the comparison model in Gilson lineup the Pioneer. I would say the Gilson board is superior.
BAHAHAHa is your name R. E. Tarded?
Nice review. I have a good deal on a Super 8 163. How is the edge hold on hard/icy snow? Is the sidecut too large for quick carvy turns? I am also contemplating the Nitro Woodcarver 163. ( I am 9.5 boots, 220 lbs).
Cheers!
no, thing rips
Is a size 157 Super 8 for a 5’8” 160lbs rider? Light utah snow. Coming from a 148 stalefish, but wanting something a bit beefier to land bigger drops and such.
Sure
Sorry I meant is it too big of a size*
I like really high speed rides, and carving sometimes jumps. Is this the board go to? Ty
Sure.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks for quick answer! Your videos are really helpfull!
Super 8 or K2 Afterblack
What are two entirely different boards for $500 Alex.
Angry- You're pref: Super 8, Ravine or Instrument for fun-turning, all-day directional resort board for both pow in trees and carving up groomers? Por que?
Yes.
@@AngrySnowboarder "Let's have a conversation about this snowboard..."
@@between_the_bars4547 What? I prefer all three.
@@AngrySnowboarder other than the softer nose, are there any other major differences between this and the instrument?
Sidecut and camber profiles. The K2 has a better sidecut on it that works in more variable terrain.
I have size 15 boots. Will it fit?
I don't know depends on what size you get.
Ok !
Salomon Super 8 or Ride Berzerker ?
Sure.
@@AngrySnowboarder sure what ? :)
Will you reccomend any ? Or both are great ?
Sure.
Super 8 + malavita?
Will work.
What’s up with the tiny boards you ride. I’m dying about this review. I ride the 163 6’0” 180 and will probably pick up the 66. I’m dying
HAha that's what I said in the live stream, too.
You make it out like I have a choice in sizes for the product I get. Like I just walk in and there's a full size run of everything and I can just take whatever I want. Sometimes I'm kind of limited and have to go with the best option. Also there's these little things called personal preference and geographical locations. Colorado doesn't require a bigger board because it's kind of flat and the snow is ultra light.
You said you need to not skip leg day cause your leaning back so much. Board size is wrong 😂
Angry, you da man, appreciate all your super thorough reviews. This board looks super dope, spent a bunch of time in my local shop talking with the guy and pulled the trigger on this over the dynamo. Apparently I'm super fucking indisisive and am SO tempted to get a Jones stratos. Homie at the shop said I can bring the board back. am I retarded, should I stick with the Super 8?? Intermediate rider, PNW, trees, powder, groomers, no park. like to turn and have fun, not always bombing. Thanks bud
Go ride and stop having FOMO you'll be fine.
I appreciate that!
finally got it out in some deep PNW snow, from the first run I knew I loved this board. Thanks dude!
