Riding the Rig in the Midwest
I’ve been enjoying my Rig 160W for a couple of seasons in MN. It’s quickly become my favorite C3/camber Mervin and here’s why. The short contact length of this board allows it to turn so easily and quickly that it absolutely blows the Dymano out of the water for riding in tighter areas and at lower speeds. I’ve also found the Rig to be overall softer and more playful than other directional all-mtn Mervin’s I’ve ridden. The nose is buttery and the tail is strong, but not too stiff either. You can be laidback on this board and it will vibe with you. Easy peasy. I’m 6ft, 185lbs and have come to realize that a short guy, big mtn board just happens to be perfect for a tall guy, on a small hill haha. I’m now a HUGE fan of the short contact length of the Rig. More designs like this please Mervin.
