My Comments:
I recently had a chance to to ride the new North Team series with North's brand new Entity foodpads.I recently just started using north so it's my first try on their boards.
The Board:
I was using the board during a Vic northly in a fair amount of chop, I can say that it was so smooth and comfortable for a freestyle board. The pop was amazing and just gave you so much time to throw any trick your into. The landings were very soft aswell due to the flex of the board. The boards construction is amazing and is top quality and is made up of a woodcore with a Carbon overlay called Textreme. the technology was used in the Select but is now in the team series. North has also ventured into snowboard technology with the introduction of Vario.
The Pads:
ontop of the board would be the new Entity foodpads. These are so adjustable I couldn't believe it, just move the two strap system around untill your foot sits the way you want them to and they really are comfy because they fit and don't dig in plastic bits or loose cords that you can find on other boards. The attention to detail is huge with a boot like screw system which lets you control your stance.
as a combo they work so well to bring a really good freestyle board, with the perfect stiffness vs flex and comfy pads it's super easy to forget that your riding a Performance board.
i was using a 12m and a 10m vegas on the day
