I bought this board and have only ridden it 7 or 8 times in the last year. The top sheet is folding up and cracking on both sides of the board in the exact same spot just outside the binding inserts. I ride very mellow, there are not even scratches on the base or side walls, and I am 30 pounds below the listed upper limit for the weight range of the board. I reached out to customer service and they said the damage was “due to some variant of impact or normal wear and tear” which is completely unreasonable for the little time I have spent on this board and for the kind of riding I do. The build quality on this board has proven to be poor. If you want buy board that you can ride for more than a year I would strongly recommend that you do not buy one of these boards.
Thanks to Rome SDS.. sent out two new toe straps free of charge.. what Legends!!! It was to easy to change them over. Highly recommend all Rome products!!! Cheers guys
Lot of fun like how easy presses are. Turn the mountain into your own park with the party mod!
This is gonna work for PivotMount in the Katana ?
They helped me when my board broke in a timely and professional matter I couldn’t have asked for better service
The Katana Pro Bindings are my second pair of Rome Bindings/Board Combo! I bought these bindings w/ the Agent Pro 160. My other board is an Agent Rocker 153 w Boss bindings.
The Katana Pro Bindings are AWESOME!!! Way better than any binding I've ever ridden! I've ridden Burton's most of my life, until the 1st Rome set-up in 2012. The Rome Agent Rocker board & bindings gave such great feel. The Katana Pro Bindings are just that much better! WAY TO GO!!!
Sleeve is quite secure and easy to remove, but it would be nice if a zipper pouch was added to the velcro strap in the middle.
Rode great the first day! Took it to Colorado for the second time ever using it and the tail end snapped... I'm not taking this thing off big jumps or going over rock patches so I really don't know how it happened. Very disappointing..
Great toe straps, locks you down well and does what it needs to. The only mark against them is the durability. I’ve had two straps rip on me one after 70ish days and the other after 30ish days
I love this snowboard its a beast and it can do it all. Will now always be riding Rome's.
Perfect board for everything, as a snowboard instructor this board is great for teaching kids on those nice groomers, jumps in the park and perfect for buttering and carving. And beast in the pow, the flex in the board really allows you to tail press in the snow and lift up the nose above the snow.
Definitely recommend a purchase
Haven’t got to ride the board yet due to the hills being closed in my area but the look of the board (colours) pop so much better in person and I was much more happy with it then I thought I would be
I posted an earlier review with an issue I had with my Rome Stomp boots. Tony and the customer support team were amazing and took excellent care of me, making things right. Issues happen, and while I was disappointed the Rome customer team was right on it and I'm back to being a happy customer.
This board RIPS powder, high speed snow boners and nipple drags went down today. Recommend this board if you're not a pussy and can ride a camber dominant weapon.
La Service Dog est un véritable bijou pour tout faire et pour le monde ! Le shape parfait pour affronter aussi bien les pistes, la poudreuse ou des run au park. Petit bonus pour la fin de saison avec la neige bien slush !
Elle est parfaite pour faire des run fun mais pour autant on peut largement carvé avec malgrés l'énorme nose présent.
En résumé, la service dog est un excellent choix pour ceux qui cherchent une planche performante mais fun avant tout ! Que ce soit pour des sessions freestyle ou des run de pow et franchement le design est parfait !
Great board that can do it all ! The free-the-ride profile is amazing: super surfy and catch-free when needed, but also very stable and securing when you want to carve groomers with a nice speed. It can be ridden front foot, centered or back foot heavy with no problem, but it definitely wants to be ridden with your back foot. That's where the profile shows all its potential: that thing bites and you are locked in you carves.
It absorbs all types of terrain easily with its big nose and loves to charge. It is a very responsive board, and it shows even better in pow where its profile and reponsiveness come to life alltogether, make it super quick edge to edge. The volume shifted shape and 3d nose also makes it very nimble in trees and in the slush.
Besides it responsiveness, it offers a very damp and smooth ride.
I didn't oversized it and went with the 154 and feel like it was the right choice for cruising/charging groomers, riding pow and stoping by the park. I usually ride between 158 and 160 boards. I'm 178 cm and weighs 73 kgs.
At this size, I felt the board limits after 70 km/h. You can charge with it, but there is a point where you start to feel the lack of length. For that, maybe the 157 would have been more suited, but I already have a charging deck to ride 90kmh and + ( lib tech goldmember). I wanted something fun, stable and nimble, and this is what I got with the Stale Fish.
The nose is very playful for butters and jibbing, and the medium flex makes it a fun ride in the park.
The base seems pretty durable as I hit a few rocks when I went backcountry, but just ended up with light scratches. The top sheets seems a little more fragile though.
All in all, i'm super happy with this deck and cant' wait to ride more. I paired it with rome katanas it the setup is perfect.
With my Lib Goldmember to charge hard and this Stale Fish, I have just the perfect quiver for me.
First time riding a Rome after around 20 years of Lib Tech, and have only good things to say about this brand !
Just took it on its first voyage. Worked as I expected and seems to be very well built. Can’t wait to take it on many more trips
I’ve used this board for park, freeriding and some carving
I like it a lot because you can go and do anything with it.
I’m 178cm, 68kg with 44 eu boot and i ride 148cm board, maybe could be one size up but this one is nippy for sure
It is probably an OK product. After tinkering with the angles of the bindings, I put the underwrap back on and probably did not do it properly (on the side of a slope) because one of the clips broke of after 2 days. Wasn't easy to put back on the fly.
Would be 5 stars if the footbeds were fastened down with a screw or some sort of fastener instead of clips.
Solid for the price. Great flex, super easy to maneuver. I’m 6’1ft and weighing around 155lbs and with a 157W it suits my style perfectly!
