Soggy Sake

Went to work at the Burton Academy this morning, but they only sold one lesson. It was very wet and noone was on the hill.
So instead of teaching, a group of us took Yuji and Kae, two awesome Japanese shredders involved with the new Burton Academy in Japan, and showed them around the mountain.
It was super fun until noonish, when it got super wet.
I got to take a few runs on a Capita Green Machine, and it was super fun!
The Burton ICS Custom 158 I was riding, however, sucked.
I always thought the Custom was a mid-flex board.
This one was super soft torsionally, and it rode like a 153.

I have also not been too impressed with the Burton Cartels this year.
They seem really soft and the new high back design is crap.
This also goes for the P1's.

Don't even get me started on how the Burton boots fit my feet...
