Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi I'm would like to buy split snowboard, last year I was use a rossignol splitb-oard, it was not fun at all to surf on it really hard to control and super heavy, I'm looking for recommendation on split-board that it will be fun to use it.
Thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

In your experience the feeling is like a regular board or you still feel the difference, and which binding are you recommend to use with this board ?

@yariv_har, give my son james a message via the link on my post www.splitboardcollective.com/#splitboard-adventures and im sure he will be happy to give you his thoughts
never going to be the same as a full one piece board but they are getting better all the time

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Not a recommendation as such but worth noting. Was due to upgrade to a second hand 2017 Salomon Sick Stick, had a crack in the topsheet and on googling sounds like others had issues with the board too, cracking under the bindings etc.

I think the Jones Boards are considered one of the best split manufactures on the market yet even they don't perform as well as normal board.
I think Neil McNab modifies his split with a lightweight removable bar to stop the board twisting into a V shape under edge hold pressure. This post is a couple of years old but worth a read, I can't comment if the market/manufactures have managed to solve some of the issues highlighted here... unless you ask the man himself?

Interesting differences in rider weight, in the Amplid and Jones sizing charts.
I'm 85kg and would have chosen something 163/164. Jones has me bang in the middle of the 164 weight range, Amplid has me on the ragged top edge.
Perhaps I need to diet a bit.

I absolutely LOVE my Amplid Milligram split with spark bindings.
It is a joy to ride, absolute joy.
Re performance versus a sold - of course there will be some compromises but in good conditions I don't think you can tell.
Riding on piste, sure you can tell a *little bit* but I accidentally had a long weekend entirely on hard packed pistes on my Milligram (planned touring but weather was too bad) and I thoroughly enjoyed riding it and I wasn't longing for my Jones MT solid.

Currently riding the Amplid Creamer 163 with the new Spark Surge bindings. The board is superb, but the real revelation for me is the new Sparks. Super-stiff and responsive, some people even comment they're too stiff, but I love them.
Riding it on-piste, I just forget it's a split now, just find myself doing all the same riding and messing around (eurocarves, jibs, spins) that I do on any board.
