They felt heavier on my feet, especially with the springbeds mounted that day the bindings board felt like an anker on my feet. With the EVA-footbeds it was better but still in another league than my union contact pros. ESTs weigh aroung g with the Springbeds mounted around 1kg union contact pros around with discs and screws And yes you can feel this g difference!
Sorry about the confusion with the binding-weights. So the Reflex Version also diode baseplate Cartel Highbacks and straps weighs g with disc and 4 screws. The EST weighs g with 2 screws and the channel inserts. I can even feel a difference between the contact pros and the burton reflexes and thats only a 40g aka 80g difference. So the boards weights are all within a g- window. Even the mighty Burton vapor with its alumafly core, which claimed to be the lightest board out there is only 75g lighter than my heaviest board.
Ok its longer than the doa but the doa is also wider so I guess its almost comparable. What i want to say is that a g difference PER binding has a huge impact on how light your overall setup feels the boots are quite important too in that regard but you usually dont have the freedom to choose boots by their weight.
Whereas with boards i feel the difference just isnt big enough to really be noticable ie I think there the weight distribution is far more important than the weight as a whole. For example I had a Slash paxson , which I thought was the lightest board I ever owned — at least it felt that way when I rode it.
I got the model of the vapor, the last one which actually had the alumafly core, after that season burton went with wood again instead. I was kinda disappointed because I was excpecting a way lighter board with all that marketing and reviews surrounding it.
I did never ride it thought. I bought it on ebay but I got kinda scammed, the board is in very bad condition with some really deep scratches and it was clearly stored without wax on so the base is pretty dried out. Of course the edges would have to be sharpened as well but thats not a big deal. I just wasnt really willing to invest the money to have it fixed professionaly.
So I cant tell you how it feels when riding although I would love to try it, maybe i still get it fixed idk… But yeah Im not really impressed with the weight at all since the closest in size to the vapor, my burton uninc only weighs 55g more. So I argue that board technology didnt change much at all in the last years. Shapes, bends and flex-patterns and some features yes but not the actual processes and materials which the boards are made of. Now Im curious though which boards you weighted which are lighter?
Yeah I agree. Lots of factors can affect how heavy they feel to ride vs how heavy they actually are. They tend to be consistently lighter than most others. But Never Summer is the only brand that I know of that show surface area stats for their boards.
In comparison to your Vapor , which is around Yeah I guess a lot of the feel has to do with the shape oft the tips and how much they slimmed down the tips to reduce swingweight. Hmm thats interesting, since my DOA is nothing special on the scale nor is it in regards of feeling on the hill. I would still bet on the wooden design though if it gets though. Anyhow with the new capitas for example, g for a , wow thats really light! Now I bet one can really feel that difference on the mountain.
On a sidenote: I was always quite interested in where the boards from different brands are made, since there is a significant difference in built quality between them. We will provide you with an approximate ship date for your item s at the time of purchase.

Tips for Selecting Men's Snowboard Bindings There is an endless number of binding options for your board. Flexibility Ratings Men's snowboard bindings are grouped into three distinct categories for flexibility.
Canting Position Snowboard bindings may feature a slightly angled footbed to relieve knee stress and fatigue. Binding Sizes Men's snowboard bindings are available in small, medium and large sizes. Why Choose Buckmans. Black Blue 1. Brown 2. Grey 4. Wide stance — more stability, harder turn transitions used more by freestyle snowboarders Narrow stance — less stability, easier turn transitions used more by freeride snowboarders Jan 26, A good starting point is to set your bindings at about the same distance as your shoulder width.
Measure yourself from one shoulder to the other or get a friend to help and that will give you a starting width. A park rider typically sets their bindings up perfectly centered on the board, so they can ride either direction equally as well. They also tend to angle their feet the same amount so that riding switch feels the same. For example a medium size binding in one brand might fit a size 10 but in another brand you would need a large size binding. Angling your binding toward the nose is referred to as a positive angle relative to setting your binding at zero.
