The Podium has served me well in every task i've thrown at it. Most especially, this board is super nimble in trees, both in long glades and tight access routes. I own a 161, and I can honestly say as a daily driver, it's all I need. It holds long surf carves on hardpack, is stable when straightlining, floats well in foot+ gnar, and is supportive and responsive in both park and straight air half pipe runs. One final item i could share is that the base is pretty durable overall. I've hit far more rocks and stumps than the base lets on, and to me...that's been a wallet saver.

This jacket is a good fit. I have long arms and the sleeve lengths don't make it look too young on me when reaching across the bar for a beer. I've worn this in temps from 20 to 50 and it is great...at 20 degrees and windy, I feel no chill with short sleeves. It is definitely windproof, stylee and warm, but not sweaty like your NF bubbles. Super lightweight. Worth the cash.
