Default more "universal" powder board

Thank you guys for your advise. I hate wide boards, I tried Never Summer Legacy
once and that was by far the worst board I've ever ridden.
So it brings me back to Khyber. I agree with og, looong board would probably
an overkill. But Im heavier than you, so I need more floatation.
Khyber 165 might be real fun. And my board of choice will still be my
Shogun 166,
the best stick I've ever had under my feet.


Do you realize that the Khyber is roughly as wide as the Donek Wide
(that is to say the Khyber is wider than you think and the Wider is
narrow than your think). The Wide is sort of a misnomer as the Donek
Incline is really narrow, the Wide is a little wide, and the Sasquatch
is really wide. I'm told (although I don't know) that the Donek Wide
is much better than most wide boards because of it's torsional
stiffness... but don't believe... go demo one for free from Donek
(they send one to you to try out for free!). I wish Prior had a
similar demo program.

Good luck on your purchasing decision.
