Summary

The Sims Terry Kidwell RT2 is a fun directional board that has a tapered feel to it but it's not so tapered that it feels like you don't want to take it each way. I had a good time on this in late spring conditions and feel that of all the Sims boards in their line this is the one you get if turning and carving are most important to you.

The 161w kidwell has been a perfect all mountain board for all around shredding on a good season in the Sierras
I love the blend of smooth stable ride and with the snap that comes from a full camber board . Coming after riding mostly cam rock and rocketed boards it’s been great to feel the positive hold in the edge , but it’s surprisingly loose feeling when trying to snap it around .
Classic never summer dampness makes it great for charging through resort chopped up pow . I’d love it in a bigger size like 165
