Here is the straight dish on the Omatic awesome series designed by me. I have been riding snowboards for along ass time. When I designed the awesome I wanted a board that would perform on all the terrain that I love to ride, which is basically everything. I wanted a board that I could get off the lift, rail through the flats, ollie over some random stumps, slash some pow, drop a rock, slide a fun box, point it into a 50 foot kicker, rail across the park to some random rail, drop into the pipe, then butter the flats on the way back to the lift. (based on a actual run that I love at northstar resort) I made a board that is kind of on the medium soft side of the spectrum so that it is easy to whip around the hill and is very forgiving in all situations. The awesome has an intelligent flex, that means it is soft where you need it to be, and poppy where needed. It’s my Swiss army snowboard, everything I need in one neat tight package wrapped in ptex.

Posted by Todd Richards for Tara Dakides: "Hey, here is what I think about my board, the super! The board I designed is what I like to ride, its narrow enough to have quick edge-to-edge control but wide enough to have a good landing gear. The 149 super is my all around jib and jumping board. If the snow is a little deeper I get on the bigger supers but all the supers across the board have a good flex for over pressing nose and tail anythings and a quick response to get your ollie contest on. It is lightweight so you can hop around and even though its a 149 the boys can still get there 24/25 inch stance on it. I know a lot of boys rode it this year because of the light weight super pressing abilities but I really did make it to cater to the girls out there. A lot of park boards can be a bit chattery in making fast lay down turns but this board really does have the capability to press, jib, jump and lay down some sweet g turns. The super and our other board the benatar are my two favorite boards I have ever ridden. They are both very similar but if you want to get on something a bit stiffer then check out the benatar....it's also a great ride. Have a great season and if I see you on an omatic i'll make sure to throw ya a high five. I love seeing our boards out there..........it simply makes my day super!!!" -Tara d
