I'm thinking I might get one of these, after a short play on a mate's Fish
last year. What else is out there that follows the same design concepts?

Stupid fingers. I meant to say, what else is out there apart from the
Burton Fish, Burton Malolo[1] and Prior Khyber?

[1] Could this years graphics be any worse?[2]
[2] FFS trawling through Burton's website is painful.

Those ones are the major players (nothing will be as floaty or quick
turning as the Fish which has the most taper at 3cm I think)... but
several companies make moderate powder boards with some taper to them
that make them easier to handle in tight powder. Consider the Venture
Euphoria, Neversummer Summit, Nitro Pantera, Nidecker Megalight,
Option Northshore, Libtech Mullet (that's about the order I would
recommend them in). Check there specs, more taper usually means more
float and quicker, surfy turns like the Fish.

If you've got the cash, check out the Dupraz. Here's a review:

Actually it isn't even all that pricey as these things go - list price
549 euros, so a bit over $US700, similar to a Tanker. Not sure how to
get one in the US, but Dupraz has an english website and an email contact.

Arvin, you're are a veritable encyclopedia of boards! Thanks for the
info.

Get a Malolo. 4-5 cm shorter than your usual deck. Same length if
you're talking more open (as opposed to tighter trees). It's a
no-brainer!

Generally, I don't care what my board looks like, but those graphics for
this years model sucks the big one. I'll probably go for a Khyber but ask
Prior to make me a wider one. I'll set up some demos first. Whatever
rides best will get the money, even if I have to spray paint it.

Can't argue that!

Can't argue that. Check out Burton's Series 13.
