| Great Board!!! 03-11-09 |

| So, I learned how to ride on a Palmer Prophet, but it was time to upgrade. I did a lot of research before buying this board and was looking for a board that would be somewhat universal but one that would serve me well in the pipe and on jumps. I am not too interested in rails and boxes.
I only got the chance to use the new Seeker over one weekend after I got it because the season came to a close. I am on the east coast so I am used to the potential for less than ideal conditions, but the weekend I rode the Seeker for the first time, the conditions were terrible. It rained Friday night and the temperatures weren't cold enough for natural or man-made snow on Saturday and only a little snow was made for Sunday, however, this board made the weekend fun.
It is a pretty stiff board and handles great. I rode through the crappy conditions with great confidence and the board never waivered. It is a solid and fast ride. Again, even in the bad conditions, I felt very comfortable flying down the blacks and an occasional double black, not only keeping up with my skier buddies, but beating them to the bottom. I attribute a lot of this to the carving abilitiy of the board and great response making quick turns.
On the jumps, I felt the same confidence which was mostly noticed on landings.
I am very new in the pipe. This was only my second weekend giving it a try. The board seemed at home in this terrain as well. Let me say again, that I am new to this aspect of riding, but the only thing holding me back now, is my own fear of pushing myself to the next level. I haven't yet gotten to the point where I have breached the top of the walls, So I am still making full turns on the walls or making short hop turns to come back down. However, even from my limited experience in the pipe, the board seems to have the perfect amount of both stiffness and flexibility to move easily from the bottom of the pipe, through the transitions and up the walls.
Bottom line...awesome board in my opinion. Although, if you want to play around all day in the park, it may prove to be a little stiff.
And a note about backcountry.com...I had a great experience dealing with them and my board got here 3 days early!!

| Seeker and Destroy! 08-12-08 |

| I rode this baby the first pow day of the year at Snow Basin, Here in Utah. She did not disappoint! I moved up from the Destroyer for this particular occasion. The Seeker has a stronger core and uses carbon to stiffen up the ride. I love the Destroyer but for deep days you need just a little more under your feet. I was blown away by how good this board stayed a float. You could'nt wipe the smile off my face that day... All due to the Seeker! POW board, POP board, JUMP board!... LAND board! |

| Fantastic Board 05-04-09 |

| I'm 5'-11"/175lb and went with the 158. I'm very happy with this baby. I came from a 162 Allian Chalet, but wanted to go a bit shorter so that I could have some more fun in the park. The amount of pop this thing has compared to my old board is unreal. I'm clearing tables with ease now that I couldn't clear before when I was bombing the hill.
Going from a 162 to a 158 was a little squirley for me at first, but after a half day of riding out at the Canyons in Park City, I felt very comfortable on the board. The base held up well to a few dings that I remember hearing it hit, which is always a good thing (my Allian took a huge blow to the edge the first season I had it out and was never the same). Fantastic board, gets my full recommendation for park, groomers, and powder. |

| Board works extremely well from the trees to the park.
Quick response, fluid carves, and snappy turn out. It's a really fun board to ride.
