I also have not used brakes with the Spruce Risers in a long time . ONe reason is that I change my setup between various sets of boards of various widths.Current: '20 Spruce Slingshot 119s, '20 Spruce Crossbow 115s, '18 Spruce Osprey 132s (touring), '21 Rvl8 SII 104s, '21 Summit Invertigos 118s

The wife and I were miserable one day when we were lapping the Strawberry Gondola at Snowbasin. We both had our soft bindings on and really got tired of the constant struggle to get them on and off. It was even worse at the top fighting a cold wind. Even just bending over to connect the leashes was a pain.
We were both envious of the skiers stepping in and out of their bindings. They didn't even have take their gloves off. Little things do make a difference sometimes.Just these, nothing else !

Pro primes with brakes and a monkey backpack for carrying any distance has been a helpful setup, if I'm just taking one set of boards that day I can carry the wife's boards too which as said above, the little things can make a big difference_____________

Had a go on the prototype Spliffs today. Lovely set of boards. My legs were already warmed up by te time I got on tp them, so no fooling around.
- Hit them straight down on the first run, trying to keep the snakeline as narrow as possible: PASS
- Hit the pillar slalom line in the SnoZone. Lots of broken up and hard snow in there. Found airm, hit the bottom, sharp right and in between the next two pillars, followed by another sharp left. PASS
- A couple of more runs checking the boards' aft stability against my crokked balance. PASS
- Blunt XLs on steroids.
When I get my breath back and checked my wallet, I am probably putting in a pre-order for a pair. The RCs will no longer be the go-to boards.Current: '20 Spruce Slingshot 119s, '20 Spruce Crossbow 115s, '18 Spruce Osprey 132s (touring), '21 Rvl8 SII 104s, '21 Summit Invertigos 118s

Having ridden these boards yesterday, I am happy with everything I have said so far, but the overwhelming impression yesterday was of how well they glide. Sometimes this can be missing from our shorties. It's going to be another one of those non tiring boards I thinkCrossbow (go to dream board)

Considering all of the pre-hype on the BluntXL's last year, and how wonderfully amazing those boards were (for me at least), these comments about the Spliffs have me more than excited!!!!!

I have ridden the XLs back to back with the Spliff. For me, no contest. Others will disagree. The XLs remain brilliant boards, love them, but I no longer need them LOL.

I took some video of Gromit riding the Spliff yesterday. Mainly because he was able to keep them so close together. Can't really post a link as it came out as a 50mb file. His physique has meant that riding boards close together has always been a challenge. Not with the Spliff!
