Ok so I’m looking at a new board and have been eyeing the Never Summer Proto (would be CT but I may have to wait until next season’s due to the lack of size). I like the all mountain capabilities of this board and feel that it kind of suits me. I have been looking at the Burton Cartels and Malavitas as well as the Rome 390 Bosses. I have no preference on brand really, but don’t want anything much more expensive than these. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am open to other suggestions. :)
Thanks

I have this year’s Proto CT with some 2011 Cartels on it and it’s a great combo. The newer Cartels with the ReFlex base would probably feel even better.

Yeah I’d opt for the Cartels too. The Rome bindings have a metal heel loop which I believe makes them a bit heavier than the Cartels. The NS Proto isn’t a lightweight board so saving a few grams with your binding selection is a good idea.
