Blunt Moods

[Wookie]

To you guys that tried the Blunts -- Are any of you over 6' tall and/or plus 200 lbs?

All the reviews sound amazing but I am wondering how they ride for a "Big Tall Guy". I am intrigued by the boards but cautious since I have always felt more comfortable on my 120s and 125LEs than my shorter boards. I think this is mostly height related as I have a higher center of gravity that gets much further "outside" the boards while turning and requires more edge to hold the turn.

Oh no you don't Jjue, you get out there on Blunts with receptor bindings and hardshell boots and find out what they can REALLY do LOL

Review

The Blunts are little boards that act like big boards . For a Condor fanatic like me ... they feel very similar to Condors but easier to turn and more playful... certainly better carving on firm snow then the Rockered Condors and similar to regular Condors but without the extra length. Zero camber and Rockered tips make them super easy to turn and fun , smoother turning then Regular Condors or KTP's . Ease of turning similar to Rockered Condors but with better firm snow edging. They don't really feel like tiny boards ... they feel like super competent serious all mountain skiboards but with the added playfulness and fun of a shortie .. The Yin Yang motif really expresses the contradictions of this board . I love them !

The new SBOL modified Technine soft boot bindings are a superb match for these boards .. , all the control I could want , yet super comfortable and a more intimate feel for what is happening underfoot then hard boots.... No hardboots for me on the Blunts ... for me they are super fun comfy boards , that for the way I ride just cry out for the SBOL modified Technine soft boot binding set up . The new SBOL set up has a more flexible and easy going feel then the more rigid Rocker binding . Flexible in a good sense and not sloppy at all . I think I would definitely prefer the Technine set up on this board then my Rocker bindings .

Cool video. Really got to see how the boards worked. Looked like they were carving trenches at the apex of the turn and then a very easy transition across the turn on direction change. So jealous you are riding at the resorts already!

So jealous... Have not been this excited for my boards to arrive since I got my first pair!


I'm gonna get 45 days on the mountain this year if it kills me!

You are having too much fun with those Blunts Jack! I look forward to your report.

We need to have a yellow pants day at Shredfest VI with black SBOL hoodies and Blunts!

I can do lime pants and the hoodie. Let's also do a Blunts day. It would be funny to see everyone riding them. We'd probably get all kinds of attention.

And Blue. I've had a few hazardous days at work working with the middle schoolers, but those are the new pants I'm rocking this year.

Snap on the pants, my new ones are Lime too.
