Board: Ride Superpig
Size: Medium
Camber Option: Directional Hybrid Camber. A directional cam rocker.
Bindings: K2 Indy
Stance: 21.5 Wide 15 Negative 12 Goofy
Boots: K2 Thraxis Size 10
My Weight: 195lbs
Resort: Arapahoe Basin
Conditions: Overcast skies, snow falling, warmer temps, chunder pow, perfect groomers, and some wind.
Flex: This board has a middle of the road directional all mountain flex. So there is a slightly softer nose that tapers back into being a stiffer tail. There’s a moderate amount of torsional flex which makes this board playful.
Stability: That wider platform coupled with the carbon array and camber profile really make for a stable ride. Yeah you do feel some chatter when you hit death chunder at full speed, but on a groomer or in soft pow it doesn’t have a lot of vibrations.
Ollies: HOLY SHIT! Years and years ago the Ride DH2 came out and had pop. This board feels like that. You can load it up and it will snap and not just a little amount I mean you’re boosting to the moon. Yeah it takes a little work, but it’s not going to hurt you. Sidehits, cat track gaps, natural hips, etc. etc. become launch ramps.
Pop On Jumps: Just haul in and pop off the lip and send it. This board boosts. Don’t hesitate hitting a jump of any size.
Butterability: That nose is amazing for locking into a butter. It just presses in and holds on so well. There’s a little fight to it, but not a lot. The tail takes more effort due to the flex pattern so be prepared to work for it.
Jibbing: Oh this board jibs. You have such a stable platform with the wider shape. The nose will press easier than the tail due to the rocker in it, but the tail holds a press well too. Getting sideways the camber profile will hug it.
Carving: Want to rip a hard carve? Yeah, go for it! Want to do a short mellow carve? Yeah you’re golden. This board drives through turns and you can push off the tail to really accentuate your carves. There’s enough torsional flex in this board to really snap a carve however you want.
Rider in Mind: All mountain freestyle guy that wants to downsize.
Personal Thoughts: If the MTN Pig is too aggressive and the Warpig is too soft, this board fits right between them and leaves the Twin Pig to do its own thing. This board is so much fun to ride and I didn’t want to get off it. If you get a chance to hop on one, do it. JUST DO IT!

Ahh shit now I want it, I’m about your weight but I have size 11.5 boots. Should I go 154 or 158?
54 should fit your 11.5. Double check that I’m too lazy to do that and just woke up.
What size should I get. 154 or 158? I’m 240lbs with 10.5 boots.
58.
Thanks for all of your hard work putting up reviews, it’s much appreciated.
Couldn’t get the Superpig video to play, it just comes up as a screenshot. Any plans to post the video review for this deck?
It should be working now.
Im 195 atm, 10.5 boots, should I get 54 or 51
54.
Yo! long time lurker here.
Wondering your thoughts on Superpig or Yes Not So Basic (new version of Basic Decade) for a dedicated jump board? all i wanna do is boost on this deck!
Also 5’7, 160lbs, 10US ,~100 days a season- and except park most of my quiver is dedicated to bigger boards (treehunter 161, dupraz (5’5”/165) etc.)
Thanks for your time avran
Yes NSB is going to be better suited to what you want.
Hey!
I’m 6’1″, 205 lbs, size 12 boots. I love rippin trees, boosting sidehits, and bombing the hill.
Would you recommend a 54 or 58?
Cheers
54. Get it!
Hey there angry, how does the flex compare to the berzerker?
Way softer. A lot more torsional give to it.
Angry..would you go with the Super Pig or Capita Asym?
Depends on what you want it for. 2 different boards with a little overlap on the freestyle spectrum.
Currently riding a 159 Mercury..looking for something new to ride all over (park included) but smaller sized. Thanks for your time..
If you’re looking for more all mountain versatility then it’s the Superpig. If you’re looking for a park board with the occasional freeride jaunt then it’s Asymulator.
I’m 5’9″ 155lbs with a size 8.5/9 boot. For an all mountain ride do what would be your suggestion on small vs medium. I’ve ridden a 2017 warpig in 148(small) the past couple of seasons and enjoyed it, but the flat base, length, or combination thereof made it feel a little squirrelly at speed and sketchy on hardpack/icy days.
Thanks man! Keep killing. #1 reviews imo
I’d get the small again unless you really want more surface area then the medium.
I have a chance at a medium for a couple hundred off the price, but I’ll pass after seeing your advice. I have a 2020 147 party platter to compare to the Warpig anyway. Much appreciated.
I’m 5’7″, 130lbs and have been riding a 149cm Gangplank the past few years. Will the 151 be too big or should i go for the 148?
Definitely too big get the 142 might work the best for your weight.
Little follow up, I am usually a freerider but want to up my park skills and get an all around board for park and powder. Between this, the Warpig and Twinpig which woud you recommend?
Keep with the Superpig for what you’re describing.
Hello angry, I am at 6 feet height,175 lbs weight, 11 US size boots, what size Superpig do you recommend ?
51 or 54. It’s kind of dealers choice here. 51 if you want it more playful and 54 if you want it to be a bit better at charging.
Was going to get the Burton FA until I watched your review on it, now between the Super Pig, MNT Pig, and Algorithm. 6’4 rider who lives in the trees, natural features, groomers, with little to no park, what are your thoughts?
Don’t know why you’re giving your height that’s the least important factor in finding a board but whatever. Superpig unless you need something real stiff then Mtn Pig.
was thinking to add height for reference to the size of boards they offer. The biggest they have is a 158, non-wide.My last boards have been 162w and 164w.
With your expertise, would you think the 158 would work, or too small? (always use your links to purchase btw!)
Your weight is always the determining factor.
Hey there. I’m about the same weight as you and saw that you rode the 151. Did you feel that the 151 handled your size or that the 154 would’ve been better?
I’m 196lbs with a size 10 boot. Looking to mainly carve with the occasional box/rail and jump. I want something loose under my feet to transition from heel to toe quickly but still want the confidence to bomb a hill.
Thanks for the videos. It definitely helped me with purchasing a snowboard.
For what you’re looking for the 51 would be ideal. If you wanted to charge more and have a bit more stiffness underfoot that’s where bumping up to the 54 would come in.
Hi there! Relevant but maybe not since I’m referencing the lady version of the warpig (Psychocandy). She’s ridden a 136 Burton Lux pretty much her entire life and is petite around 96lb. I want to recommend her the 138 psychocandy, but hearing that the board is wide, do you think this would be a good fit for her? She wears a size 6 boot for reference. Also mainly bomb hills, with some light park. Truly appreciate the help!
That’s a tough call. If she’s a strong competent rider it might work for her, but if she has any hesitation or lack of ability to throw her weight into a carve it’s probably going to be too wide for her.
Thank you for the reply! Agreed, I’m thinking maybe the Capita Equalizer 138 at that point then. Any thoughts on this board? I know its a women’s board, but felt you were best to be able to answer this question since you’ve seen so many boards! Thanks so much again!
I honestly know nothing about it.
Big fan. Saw your YouTube vid and on the comments it said you rode the 154 but it says medium in your written review here which is 151. Trying to buy this board but don’t know which size to get.
The one that fits your weight.
Yo angry. I’m super pumped about this board. What do you think for size between the 148 and the 151? I’m 5’11 165 lbs with a size 9.5 boot
You can kind of go either way. 48 if you want it WAY more playful and 51 if you want more stability. Dealers choice on this.
Is this board comparable to the Nitro Dropout? I know the dropout isn’t volume shifted, but would they fit the same niche in a quiver?
Fairly close.
Which would you pick?
Dropout.
Stuck. I’m looking at either a 154 SuperPig or a 156 Orca. I ride all mountain, very little park, and I’m 5’11” 210 size 10 boot. From what I’m able to learn online these boards are very similar in regards to intended terrain.
Which would you choose if you could only have 1 board?
Superpig.
I want this board. Can’t decide if I’m too fat for the 154 or not at about 230 lbs. I typically ride a 156W-157W because I don’t like riding surfboards when I snowboard, think I can pull off the 154?
Should be good on the 54.
Hey Angry I’m 6’7″ and 240lbs size 11boot I currently ride a nidecker platinum 165w. I love the sounds of the superpig. Would the 158 still be a good fit for me with out feeling to small?
Oh yeah!
One board wants to do some Pow in the morning, and some Carve/Jumps in the afternoon. Superpig or Orca or other recommendation?
Superpig is the solid choice.
i am very close to buying a warpig or a super pig 151. Have had a burton custom flying V for years and want to get something a little special for all mountain to it all board. I love the camrock in the burton custom but have heard so many good reviews of the warpig. I only hesitate cause of the flat of the warpig should i be concerned considering my older board . I bounce from one to the other in terms of which i would buy for a do it all mountain board. FYI keep up the good reviews like the honest opinion rather than the biased i sell these boards opinion
The Warpig will be an easier transition coming off a flying v.
Hi Angry,
I mostly ride groomers and powder, and once in a while hit the park. I am 5’4″ 160lbs, no gear. What size SuperPig and WarPig would you recommend?I would be coming from a LibTech C2BTX profile board.
Thanks!
Can’t think of the sizes off the top of my head but it’s like a 47 or 48, get those.
Thanks, guessing weight is more important than rider height? The 148 would only be downsizing only a few cm from 151.
100% more important.
185, headed down to 170. Seasoned camber rider. I assume 151 more playful, 154 more charging?
YEs.
160 lbs here. Rode a 158W Nidecker The Smoke into pieces, over about 15 seasons (can’t afford more than a week or 2 each year..). Big camber but a lot of flex, with a huge nose for powder, and a 265mm waist width (like the 151 Superpig). I tried a 2018 Warpig for a few days, 151 or 154, liked it a lot but I was missing that camber a little.
So the Superpig is looking perfect, right ?
But 151 or 154 ? Nowadays I do more carving and less fooling around, but I can’t tell if the 154 will be too rigid or if the 151 will be squirrelly..
Thanks for all your answers, they already helped me a lot.
This thread should be on the Ride website 😉
I feel the 54 might suit you better based on what you’re telling me.
Thanks man !
Thanks for your review, loved the insights you gave!
A bit of a weird comparison, but I’m looking at both the Ride super pig and the Lib Tech BRD and am stuck between them.
I would describe myself as someone who like to go fast and carve, hit the small jumps and features, duck through the trees, and tries to find the unridden powder whenever possible. Park riding is limited to jumps but I do love my airtime when I can find it!
Thoughts on the two boards suitability? (X-posted onto the BRD review as well)
Thinking of getting this as my first volume shifted board, and I’m not used to sizing here. I’m 5”11, 180 lbs, size 10 boot. I’m debating between the medium 151 and large 154. Mostly in groomers, some pow and rare park for me.
I’m leading towards the large with the thought of it being a bit more stable – but not sure. Any advice here? Thanks for all your hard work – love your site.
I’d get the 51 personally to get the most out of the board.
Great recommendation – rode this through the spring, and loved it! Fun, powerful board. Guided through chunder and great control
Been eyeing this Superpig for pow, trees, and some kickers
Biggest toss up is my size 13 boots (190-195lbs) . 154 (270cm width) or 157 (277cm width)
currently on a 163W arbor roundhouse (268cm width)
would love the extra float. stability, and boot clearance of the 157 , concerned about maneuverability in the trees compared to the 154
Cheers for your reviews and insights!
I’d do the 54 in all honesty.
165lbs Size 11 boots. Doing some powder in the Swiss alps this januartall, would the 51 be sufficient or should I go safe with the 54?
You’re golden.
220 @ 6ft 1in with size 10 boots. I’m struggling between the 154 & the 158. Mainly riding Breckenridge all over just having a fun time. What’s your opinion on size?
The 54 will be better for the lower angle terrain Breck has as well as more nimble in the trees especially if you’re riding anything on Peak 10 or lower Peak 6. 58 will give you more optimal float if you’re riding imperial or charging a groomer full speed.
Hey Angry, thanks for all these reviews.
I think from all my research, its either the Warpig, or Superpig for me.
I’m after a quiver of one board, where I’d want the board to be best suited to ollies, side-hits, trees and just low-level messing about, and charging. A good all-rounder.
I think I prefer the camber-profile of the Superpig, but I’ve seen a few people suggest the Superpig is more suited to an advanced level rider, which im not, I’m more intermediate.
Which (or perhaps an alternative) would you suggest.
Warpig for sure.
Hey Angry,
Wanna improve my quiver with a second board (I own a k2 raygun form around 2012) for powder, carving and party boarding. I like the idea of the volume shift. Im thinking about the superpig, the k2 party platter or the slush slasher. What would be your choice? Do you have additional suggestions?
Best
Get the Slush Slasher.
Hey Avran,
Debating between the Superpig or Orca for hitting the whole mountain with a little park action. Mostly ride at Mammoth but will be taking to Japan and Colorado. My other board is a 152 Headspace, Boot size 10.5 weight 155lbs. Which board would you recommend? Thanks for all the input! Your site is the best!
Probably go with the Superpig.
worth it to also grab a party platter, or too much overlap?
Too much overlap. Save the cash, buy more lift tickets, shred more.
Hi, how does this board deal with unevan terrian or/and busy resort like saturday afternoon? I’m wondering if this would be good chocie for second board for such situation. For now, I’m using Rossignol Templar for my second board for playing around when there is more people cuz v.fast edge to edge, easy maneuverability, great for such conditions etc. It looks like downsize with SuperPig could be good replacment because Templar is to narrow (25cm) for my 11 boot size especially for soft snow. Just don’t want to lose this maneuverability so I’m curious what is your opinion on SuperPig during bad conditions and busy resort?
It’ll be fine for it.
You were right! I had oportunity to test SuperPig 154cm and WarPig last saturday in such conditions. I’m really like wider platform to CARVE and rocker nose with aggresive sidecut for maneuverability. For me is 80% carving, 20% freestyle carving, no park. Any other similar short-wide boards worth for testing with all moutain but still freestyle character for soft snow, slash, busy resort, narrowed slopes?
Yes Optimistic, Yes Y, Yes Hybrid, Marhar Sasquatch, K2 Coolbean, Rossignol Sushi, Spring Break Slush Slasher.
intermediate/advanced rider looking for daily driver
.
Chase powder, drop cliffs, trees, side hits, occasional backcountry booter, groomers to access powder, little to no park or switch riding
Torn between Orca, Hovercraft, or Superpig
I’d probably go Orca, Superpig, Hovercraft in that order for what you’re telling me.
Hey Angry,
Appreciate the content! Finally going to be getting a new board and I was thinking of either this Superpig or the Niche Crux
Little about myself: Do a little bit of everything, local resort is mainly groomers, sidehits and a couple park jumps and features
Those boards are on two opposite ends of the spectrum. Sounds like you’re riding a small resort I’d get the Crux it’ll be more freestyle versatile for a tiny hill.
Hi- I am 225 and where an 11. should I be aiming for a 54 or 58?
54 or 58. It’s kind of dealers choice here. 54 if you want it more playful and 58 if you want it to be a bit better at charging.
hi angry
love your skate banana review. hence why im looking for an upgrade. ive
a week in japan coming up soon.
need a one board quiver. for japan then Europe mainly
my riding is powder. then side hits then park jumps some rails. like to butter and spin riding switch.
looking at warpig. superpig or the mercury
im 5’9″ 83kg size 8 feet advanced rider. help ith board and size would be awsome
thanks in advance
So here’s the thing the Mercury will be the most well balanced but probably not the best tool for Japan since it’s decent in powder but not powder specific. Superpig would be the most well balanced but be a bit lacking in the jumps and switch department due to the shaping which means the Warpig would be better. It’s almost like you’re needing 2 separate boards. Might be worth hiring a pow board in Japan and then picking up the Mercury for at home.
true i need 2, hiring out there is the cost of a board nearly so may aswell buy then maybe sell
thinking ill get warpig. then see how it goes. can you help with size please. so torn
51 or 54? for 83kg without gear on
thanks for responding
I’d probably go 51 unless you want it for straight pow use then 54.
Hey Angry,
Love your review. Could not decide between the superpig and orca. Intermediate rider, 5’4 145 lb and size 8 boots. Mostly resort, groomed and powder run. Loves carving and speed. Which one should I go with superpig 48 or orca 44?
Much appreciated.
Dealers choice.
Hi,
Firstly thank you for all your reviews, I find yours to be an honest no BS review, unlike some others out there.
I really want to buy a superpig but I’m worried that it’ll be to wide and It’ll be a struggle to get on edge..
My boot size is 9.5, I’m 218lbs, 5’8. Would 154 work for me?
If not the superpig, could you recommend another board with similar characteristics? It does not have to volume shifted.
Shouldn’t have an issue with it. But if you’re looking for something else that’s not as wide but kind of all mountain versatile and directional check out the Wired Vantage, Niche Maelstrom, maybe a Burton Deep Thinker.
Great review thanks!
I’ve been riding the Burton Tough Cat as my stiff directional cambered plank in groomer/chunder/slush conditions and want something more damp with less chatter at the front. I’m mostly bombing freeride and doing some carving, but still want to mess around with my kids on the lower slopes. You’ve sold me on this already!
Hi Avran,
I have tried Burton Custom X with Burton Cartel EST bindings and I liked the speed and how the board carved. Still, it did require quite some work and focus to get those pencil lines (I think partly due to the fact that I was in a lower weight range of the board).
I am looking for something a little more playful and started thinking about the Ride Pig family, especially the Superpig. Do you think it is the right choice or I should consider Warpig? I recon from your review that the Mountainpig is more aggressive than the Superpig, so I left it out for now.
Best regards!
Chris
Warpig is a bit more freestyle focused go Superpig, but if you want something like the Custom X that’ rips a carve check out the Ride Commissioner instead.
Thank you Avran! Settled on ordering the Superpig in the end (trying to step out of that traditional freeride camber boards territory at least a little bit).
Hello! So I was looking for (mostly on your YouTube channel) a perfect do-all-I-want-snowboard. And It looks like superpig is right what I want (a bit stiffer, stable, good in powder, good for carving), but unfortunately it’s highly unlikely I get to buy it where I live.
So can you please name a few similar boards, If there are any?
Telos Backslash, Lib Orca, Lib Short Wide, K2 Simple Pleasures, K2 Party Platter, and I’m sure there’s others.
Love all your reviews! I’m on the fence about getting this board. After I test rode my friend’s Nug I’ve always wanted something volume shifted like it. I’m around 185lbs in the East Coast I’m mainly in groomers and ice I like just bombing down the mountain but I also love glades. My friends are into park so I’ll go in from time to time but I’m not great at it, I’ll hit small to medium jumps and side hits but tend to stay away from boxes. I currently ride the Jones Mountain Twin at 160 but I find it’s too long to maneuver around the glades, would the Superpig be a good alternative everyday board with how I ride? Or maybe the Warpig?
Yes.
Intermediate rider here and after reading comments…Did I mess up by getting a 148 at 195-200lbs? Mostly ride groomers, resorts, some park. Should I find some way to get a 151 instead?
You bought it, go rip it and you’ll be fine.
You’re the man! Given that I live in a shred town that caters FAR more to skiers than riders, it’s basically a demo wasteland. I bought this board based on this review, a couple of overheard bar comments and the fact you said I could go either way between this or the ravine. Compared to my full blown freeride board the pig is slow, but that’s exactly what I wanted for mellower days and shit visibility. This board is so much fun to get edge to edge, lay down in a euro, weave through the trees, butter until the cow gives up and ride those hidden powder spots! Can’t thank you enough for all the work and reviews you guys put out and will definitely be supporting on AngrySnowboarder.vip!
Hi Angry, I’m about 170lbs and size 9 boots. Considering Warpig or Superpig also not sure about if I should get 148 or 151.
My current board is Never Summer Proto CT from 2012 rocker between foot camber under foot. I’m trying to up my skill on carving and blue/black run. Proto CT seem a bit loose on carving and doesn’t grab icy/hard packed snow very well. I haven’t get into park and tricks yet, but would consider doing it on coming seasons.
Which one I should get? Superpig 148? Or I should consider other board?
Thanks in advance. Love your review videos.
Sounds like you don’t want a Warpig and the Superpig would fit you better. You can ride either size in it and not really have to worry. If you’re looking to up your carving game though you might like something else like a Telos Backslash.
Thank you.
Hi Angry, how does Rome Ravine compare to Superpig? Looks like Ravine has a bit less rocker and less volume shift on spec.
It’s a normal board so no real volume shift to it. But you have more tail to push off.
Which one would you pick for resort ungroomed blue run riding? Which one has better grip on icy/hard packed snow? Sounds like Ravine is a touch more versatile.
Both.
Thanks! Guess my size 9 boots won’t be an issue. I’ll need to make up my mind if I should try out the volume shifted board.
Hey Man-
You are my go to for board reviews. I’m looking to volume shift down from a 160cm. I’m 5-10, 180, 10 boot. I love charging down the hill, but wanna get off pow searching in the trees a bit more next season with my buddies. I def spend most of my time ripping the fast runs, but also want something to handle the pow days. I say I’m advanced intermediate verging on taking it to the next level and want a board to help take me there. I been hitting eastern BC a lot the last few years and will continue, places like Revy, Big White, Red, Silverstar, SunPeaks, Apex… I don’t want something that is going to be too much of a beast to turn fast with, but I also want something I can rip fast on. Want something that isn’t going to rattle me in the chunder to much either. 151 or 154? Thoughts?
I answered this on YouTube. You don’t need to ask the same question everywhere.
5’9 175 lbs what size you think?
51.
I have a t. Rice pro 155 and am planning a few trips next year, Jackson hole, breck, and telluride/ silverton. I am thinking I want a little more float while still staying aggressive yet playful. Would this be my optimal board? I ride trees, charge hard on groomers and side hits looking for some pow stashes. 5’10 200lbs
It’s a contender, I’d also look at the Niche Maelstrom, Endeavor Clout or Maverick, and maybe a Bataleon Camel Toe.
Hi,
first of all thanks for your reviews. I ride most of the times on slopes and my traditional camber board works pretty well for that. I’m looking for a new board only because I have boot drag from time to time. I was looking at the Superpig, the Skunk Ape and the Stump Ape. The Skunk Ape would work only as 170 and I’m not sure if I want to go bigger. From your reviews I would assume that the Superpig would be the right board for me. However, the Superpig 158 is only 0.5cm wider than the Team. The Stump Ape 162 is 1.2cm wider but probably not as good for carving. Which one would you recommend?
My weight: 225 lbs
My height: 6’5
My boot size: 12.5 (boots: NITRO Anthem)
My board: NITRO Team 165W (27.2cm waist width)
My stance: 23.5 wide, left +12, right -9
You have to be laying that thing completely sideways to be booting out. I’d say maybe go Superpig.
Thanks for you reply. Ordered it yesterday and already delivered 🙂 However, no chance to test it in these crazy days.
Maybe you can guide me with another question. Currently searching for the right bindings for the board. I ordered the Ride Capo. However, I don’t like the ratchets. Don’t know if it is because they are new but the ratchets at my NITRO Phantom bindings worked far better. An alternative was the Ride LTD but probably the same issue with the ratchets. One of you at angrysnowboarder recommended the Burton Clutch. I have also an eye on the Burton Malavita. Any thoughts on that or another alternative?
It’ll work just fine.
Hey Angry,
Hope you are going as well as can be during this pandemic. I bought the 154 Superpig for my size 12 Rome Inferno boots and paired them with Arbor Cypress bindings. Took the pair to Japan and had THE BEST TIME. Thank you for your no BS reviews and recommendations.
I ride in Australia (ice city), any recommendation to add to the quiver. All mountain, jumps no rails, resort riding, drops.
Cheers mate!
Might like a Libtech Ejack Knife. Get that MTX grip but still have some pop and drive with it.
Hey Angry!
First is all big Shaka for your honest reviews! I was going through them for an all mountain freeride board. The superpig caught my attention as an alternate board to my 2014 156 Rossi OneMagTek. I am 5”10; 163lb; boot 11 (thirtytwo). Advanced rider mostly all mountain some small jumps and no park. Which size would you recommend 148 or 151? How does IIt compare with the Rossi. Thanks!
It’s going to be more directional, flex will be a hair stiffer torsionally, there’s going to be more pop from it. Get the 51 for what you’re describing.
Hi, I’m 5 ft 9, 145 lbs with size 8.5 boots. I’m in between the 151 and 148 for a well rounded all mountain daily driver, what to you think
Get the 48 for sure.
which bindings would you pair with the Superpig?
Depends on what you want performance wise.
Looking at this board for my 1 board to do it all and park isnt important.
As a bang average intermediate rider, will this board kill me? Or can I actually progress further on this? I dont mind a slight steep curve as long its not impossible.
Will it work or do I pick something else?
Unless you absolutely suck and ride stiff legged, knees locked, turning at the hips, never flexing with the board you will be fine.
Hey Angry, I’m 6.0 225 lbs with size 11 boots. I just got myself Libtech Skate Banana 159, now I’m looking for a pow board to have next to the Banana. I’m having a really nice deal for the 2020 Superpig XL ( that is 158cm).
Is this a good second board that is totally different from Banana that will satisfy me when I want to charge down the groomer and do pow turns?
I wouldn’t get the 58 at your specs. I’d get the 54. Throw away the Skate Banana.
Hahah people keeps saying that about Skate Banana 🙂 … Unfortunatelly I have only 58 avilable 🙁 I guess, going down from my previous board Nitro Team 162W will be noticable difference.
Nothing changed except the graphixx on the board 20 // 21
185 lbs // 84/85 kg 183cm
going to buy the 151 cm superpig
will install my strata bindings.
right choice?
You’re good!
Need a board to mess around on, when im not following my kids around I like to take my town going down, looking for every jump, bump, tree run etc i can find. Basically just messing around on the entire mountain. But need a board that is able to take it relaxed and laid back on when with the family.
Its between this, mercury, mountain twin (the new 2021 which is supposed to be softer) or GNU Nuzoid. Im really eying the Gnu or the superpig the most as switch isnt the most important factor for me.
But cant find any reviews of that board.
Any input on what board?
The Mercury would be my top pick for you.
Forgot to add, can only find a review from thegoodride, but fuck they dont make sense and focus on weird pointless shit, and even I can ride 65 times better than them.
Like everyone else here I’m looking for some sizing advice. I got a pretty full quiver already I’m looking for a dedicated board that explodes off rollers and side hits. I also like how wide these pigs are since I don’t have a wide or volume shifted board.
I’m 5’ 10” and 180 lbs should I get a 151 or 154 for that extra pop? Or can you recommend any other boards that might be better for Ollie’s/rollers? (Gnu fun guy/ Orca?)
Thanks in advanced. Love your content btw.
If you really want to pop off a roller the K2 Party Platter would be the better option. Full camber and twin but still volume shifted. And I’d probably go with the 52 for optimal send.
Quality review as always. I’m a year late on this one, but sizing and shape look the same for the 21 model so thought I’d ask your advise on sizing… 5’11 190ish (geared up), 10.5 boots, riding Mt. Bachelor for over 20yrs, and been on the HyperKyarve 160 for the past few winters… Seem to be at the top of the weight range for the 151 and middle for the 154. Keep hearing go smaller with these Pigs, but would love to hear your thoughts after riding the 51.
Cheers
I’d put you on the 54 for Bachelor for sure.
6’4″ and I fluctuate between 200lbs – 220lbs. I used to have a pair of size 12 boots but my local ride shop fitted my feet for the first time and got me in 10.5 Solomons. That being said I can’t decide on L or XL for this bad ass pig. Thanks for the time, I’ll be clicking your link.
That’s a huge weight swing but I’d say go with the Large.
Lol yeah I know. 210 will be my optimistic, in shape, 100 days on the mountain weight. I was leaning towards the large and that confirms it. Thanks for the help.
Hey Angry, been pestering you over the last few weeks trying to decide between this, Party Platter and Salomon Dancehaul. Decision made – found the 151 at my local for $355 new. Couldn’t pass it up! Thanks for your review, made the decision easier for me!
Sorry also I got the Malavitas to go with it – too soft? Can still swap to cartels if thats recommended?
I’m 5’9” 145 lbs with a size 11 boot. I found a good deal on a 151 superpig but I’m thinking 148 would be better for my weight. What do you think?
I would push you towards the 148.
Hey angry,
Bit late to this but I recently had the chance to try out the warpig (151). Im looking for an all-mnt board thats mainly good at powder/tree runs and also charging groomers. I ride at random times throughout the season so always have varying conditions. I loved the warpig in the trees/ powder but my only complaint was that it got pretty chattery at high speeds on steep terrain when the snow was less than ideal. I also rode a capita DOA the same week and found it much more enjoyable in those situations. I questioned the guy at the shop and he advised against going up to the 154 warpig to add stability due to the added width (I usually sit around 175lbs). The superpig seems like the next best alternative but I see reviews saying the superpig is “a lot of board” or “for the more advanced rider” which seems odd considering how easy and playful the warpig was compared to most other boards. While I don’t think a more aggressive board would really be a problem, I’m mainly worried that I’m going to loose everything I liked about the warpig (playfulness/turn initiation/float in powder) by going for the more aggressive superpig. But I’m also willing to for-go some of that if it means better control on steeper sketchier terrain. I guess my question is, what would I really be “giving up” (if anything) by going for the superpig. And for what I’m looking for, would it just be smarter to go up to the 154 warpig instead?
Most of those people saying that wanted a Warpig and didn’t realize the Superpig has a different camber profile. That makes a load of difference. For what you’re looking for a 51 Superpig makes total sense.
I’ve ridden standard all mountain boards my whole life. Burton customs for 20 years and jones mountain twins for the past 5. Umt then the mt. I much prefer the umt. Unless the snow is prefect I have to Really manipulate the mt to hold and aggressive edge. Also I’ve always ridden big boards like 164w. I’m 205lbs size 12.
I’m 45 and I honestly still rip, but am slowing down and a shorter board sounds fun. I don’t mess with big park jumps anymore because I don’t bounce like I used to. I treat the mountain like a skatepark. I also take my carving very seriously though. The thought of going to a tiny board that can still rip carves intrigues me. I see you recommended 154 to guys my size a lot. I think im going 158 , it will feel like a skateboard compared to a 164. Also switch is very big part of my Game. Is the sidecut centered on the sp? Doesn’t matter too much since I rode the custom so long with a set back sidecut. Prefer the twin sidecut though. Long winded Sorry! I want to try something completely different I wish snowboard reviews didn’t exist haha they make me overthink. What do you think? Unfortunately when I go to a shop they automatically think you can’t ride And treat you accordingly. I guarantee im better then most of them and it drives me nuts
From the sounds of this response it doesn’t matter what I say because you won’t take it so go buy whatever you want.
love it! I do value your opinion because I can tell you rip. Now the other guy I can’t believe he puts footage of himself And his friends on his reviews, I can’t see how Anyone can take that dude seriously. How can someone ride that much and still look that bad? Keep working hard dude I hope you are and continue to make a good living at this..
Donald, did you take the 158? How is it treating you? I have a very similar situation to yours and hesitating between the 54 & 58… Please let me know! 41yo 6″4 195lbs old ripper wants to play hard 🙂
I guess I’m looking for a shorter board to make throwing it around easier as my reflexes are getting slower but I have the need to keep ripping it up, most importantly to inspire my 15 y/o son. How come nobody talks about effective edge anymore? Can these volume shifted boards really provide enough effective edge to drive a hard carve?
Hey, I’ve been reading comments on sizing for a while and I know your probably tired of answering sizing questions. But… if I’m 5’11, 150lbs, and wear a size 10 boot, should I be getting a 151 or 154? This board would be my everyday board for everything (steep runs, trees, pow, park). What size do you think I should get?
48.
Hey man of course I trying to decide on a new board. I live in Ohio where most of my riding happens so it’s usually kinda shitty man made snow but recently have started going out west once a year. I don’t really ride park but might hit some small jumps here and there when bored. I do like to try and carve hard and when in Colorado hit the glades and maybe some bumps. I have an old twin camber I ride that fucked me over in powder last year, so I’m looking for something that can hang on in harder shitty snow here and when the time calls if its powder when I’m out west can do decently. I’m 6’1” and around 205-210lbs size 10 boot. I’m kinda intrigued by volume shift stuff with the idea of getting over farther in a carve and a little more float in powder. I’m interested in the Superpig and Yes. the Y. Is one just way better than the other? Is there another board I should look at? I’m kinda leaning towards 154 unless one or the other I should size up? Sorry for the excessive writing and thanks for all your awesome reviews!
Fuck of course I can’t edit that first sentence that makes me sound stupid, ignore that
I would look at the Y over the Superpig only because it’ll have better edge hold for that shitty bread basket icy crap you get in Ohio.
Right on man, do you think I’m headed down the right track with the 54 for the y? I think yes says the upper limit is 170lbs so I was also considering 57 just incase I would overpower the 54. Last question, do you think a mini disk binding or standard would match up better?
Personal preference.
Another East coaster – coming off a relic 2010 skunk ape- 6 foot 215 now- on a 157- I know- tons of trash out here but could a super pig work? Or just size up to 164 ish Skunk? No park- carving and tight turns really
Size 12 boot
It’ll work but you might like the Mountain Pig more or maybe a Korua of some sort would work for you or a Nitro Pantera.
Amazing site ! Love the info-
Definitely wanted to ride the Pantera but was not sure it would hold Up on the East junk.
Really appreciate it
Hey man, im on the east coast just bought the superpig 148 small, Im 5 9″ 183lbs, should i see if i can change it for a 151?
No.
Great site. Looking for a new board, maybe two to replace my old gear. I have a very old 2003 rossignol Sly+ 159W that I have used forever. It’s a pretty stiff board and fairly heavy by today’s standards. I weight190lbs 5’11, 10.5 shoe size (boot is 10-11 depending on brand). I live in Japan so try to hit powered when I can but spend a far amount of time in groomers with family these days and usually like to carve hard. Hit jumps and park when I go by but not super regularly (also my current board has zero “pop” so not great on the jumps).. Looking at Superpig or Mercury as daily and maybe picking up capita BSOD or K2 alchemist for days I am off by myself and can fly down the mountain. Any thought there?
Get the Superpig and the BSOD it’s the perfect 2 board combo and doens’t have as much overlap as the Mercury/BSOD or the Mercury/Alchemist.
Thanks so much for the help! Picked up a 151 Superpig and 159 BSOD today. Can’t wait for the weekend to hit some runs.
Awesome review. Thanks for the content. I’ll keep it short and sweet. 5’4, 143 lbs, 7.5 boot. 48 or 42? Cheers!
42 for more playful fun, 48 for more charging.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
Hi Angry! Thanks so much for your reviews, I’ve been spending a lot of time on them.
I’m female, 5’8″, 145-155lb, and currently ride a 142 Salomon Rumble Fish that I love in almost every way except for its performance in powder. I was in Vail Feb. 4-6 of this year with 3 consecutive powder days, waist deep in the last day, and my back leg and I were exhausted by the end.
Looking for a board that can handle 4″-4’+ of powder and can be taken through bowls, trees, and future Japan trips. I’d like some tail and something that’s not terrible on groomers or switch. Current shortlist is the Jones Mind Expander 150/154 (mens since I’m above the weight limit on the women’s version), Rossignol Sashimi, and Ride Psychocandy (146/150 — not sure if this board can hang in deeper powder, though).
WDYT? Open to other suggestions as well!
Out of that list I’d probably recommend the Sashimi first then go with the Psychocandy. Another one to look at would be the Rome Ravine male or female you decide.
Thank you! What about the Yes Hybrid?
Definitely.
Sorry Angry, you must be sick of these questions but here goes one more, I’m ordering once I read your answer!
Me: 41, 195lbs, 6’4″, 13 boots.
My riding: All mountain charging, powder when I can, when not I’m a fast carving side hit junkie, but also love buttering around my kids, 180s of rollers, occasional park lap.
It’s boiled down to Warpig or Superpig, L or XL.
Seems like either Warpig in 158 or Superpig in 154 would both make sense?
What would you take?
54 Superpig.
Hey angry, I keep snapping the tips of my boards doing fun shit like butters and sending small cliffs. Wondering what you think about Ride “Double Impact Plates” that are built into this board and all the pig series? Seems like that could hold up a little better than the average board.
Sounds like you’re landing wrong and breaking boards and nothing is going to help that. Or you have a binding like the Burton Malavita and it’s pushing into the top sheet and snapping it.
Dude you nailed it. I land tip heavy sometimes BUT I also have the malavitas. Thanks for the help man!
Ditch the Malavitas and I bet you stop snapping boards.
Dude, what are your thoughts on the Telos Backslash 143 vs. Ride SuperPig 148? I’m about 150 lbs, 8.5 boots, looking for a volume-shifted, quiver-killing, pow-stash hunting, side-hit sending, tree-slashing, hard-charging, groomer-bombing board that loves to get airborne. Narrowed it down to these to based on yours and other reviews, but open to other recommendations, too.
They’ll both work.
Hey Angry,
Thanks for the great site! I’ve learned a ton from your comments and reviews. My question: I’m 5’10”, 224 lbs, athletic build, 11.5 boots. Advanced freerider based out of Colorado. 80% bomber/carver, 20% trees/powder/bowls. No freestyle or backcountry. What’s your recommendation for a superfast, straight-line bomber/charger and maybe a second all-mountain freeride board for days where I want to ride more casually?
Bomber charger get the Ride Berzerker. Pair it up with a Jones Stratos.
Awesome! This is very close to what I was thinking based on what I’ve read here. Thanks!
Hey angry, I accidentally bought the 151 cm superpig instead of the 154 , I’m 5”11 and weigh about 190 lbs and have a foot size 12 , do you think I can slip by without heel/toe drag. Or should i return it and get the 154
Shouldn’t be an issue.
Hello, any thoughts on detuning? I ride in quite icy conditions and have yet to take it out. Just waiting for the season to start.
Personal preference.
