Centered Stance on Burton Vapor - Is this stilll a directional board?

Question

I got a vapor 163w and the hole patterns are limmited on this board. When set in the reference stance hole patterns (which is to the rear, the bindings are still almost centered it appears. Not much nose and I don't ride switch or aany park trick stuff, just directional and mountain runs only.
Most boards are set back 25 mm back like on the burton custom. I think I made a mistake since centered stances are mostly for park and I only ride directional. What can I do? The hole patterns on this board only have 2 setting locations and it looks like the forward setting would make it less nose and more tail.

Answer 1

The Vapor has a 12.5 mm setback. So, if you use the reference stance (the option connected by the dotted lines, this is the two inside sets of inserts, not the two rearward) you'll have 12.5 mm's more nose than tail, which isn't a lot but is what the board is designed for.

A board is directional based on it's construction, sidecut and flex. Just because you center the bindings on the board does not make it directional. You can be centered on a directional board and ride it no problem or be set back on a twin and tear up the park, lots of people do it.

The Vapor is a super fun and lively directional board that excels at park, pipe and all sorts of groomed ripping (super fun on slushy mogul runs). It isn't really meant for big mountain or powder riding though and is a bit soft for blasting through cruddy powder but it'll do it if you push it hard enough, that's the great thing about this board. If you are a powerful rider that wants a super responsive board that will excel in any condition take the Vapor back and get a T6. The T6 is the best board I have ever ridden.

Answer 2

i does not get the Vapor. its plenty too stiff for a woman to holiday. it is going to sense like using a plank of timber to you. definitely, please look at another board agencies. Rome makes tremendous woman forums, K2 probable makes the main suitable woman forums. holiday and Nitro additionally make tremendous woman forums. In todays marketplace you're purely boxing your self in in case you in basic terms use one make, quite a corporation like Burton.
