and for that matter, lets bring back Switch Bindings (they were the best ever in my opinion). I'm feeling like i'm being phased out, but i've been here for decades.

technology is so good these days that you can get all the performance gains you used to get in a longer board out of a shorter stick. i.e.: Tail Taper, sidecut, waist width, rocker/camber, etc. This board is meant for a high-end demanding rider. Throwing switch bindings on it would just cause loss of the performance gains you get by stepping up to this. Try EST with the Channel. You may need to take an extra 10 seconds at the top of the hill to get in but the performance and feel gains will be well worth the wait!
