nice. thanks for the review.
i took the option northshore 59/burton missions 05 out for a spin the other
day. had mostly groomers then i hiked for a bit of consolidated wind blown
pow.

the northshore is extremely quick edge to edge and also really carves out a
huge turn. on the groomers, i was laying out big carves and i felt like i
was riding a much bigger board, as the edge went in and held its own for as
long as i wanted - probably due to the pintail action. the sidecut didn't
seem to want to pull me out of the turn, which i see as a good thing. the
board is very fast and felt stable at speed, though i wasn't riding in crud
conditions.

it looks like we're getting ready for another snow and i'll hopefully get to
try the northshore in the pow this week. i'm pretty excited about this
board, as i've been riding various bigger boards (164+) for several years
and if this one floats in the deep, i might be able to effectively downsize
and still enjoy myself.

more later.
