I've been told by some shop clerks that it's a pretty soft board for folks coming from an all-mountain background. Also, what's your size? I'm 6'4" 190 lbs.I'm looking to snag one with the end of the season prices. I'm used to a 168 Burton Canyon but want a softer board that I tool around a bit more yet still handle the steeps and deeps sufficiently. I'm hoping the 164 wide is long enough for me.

I'm deciding between buying a Libtech TRS or a Machete. I have the same issues with you in terms of waist width for bigger footed riders. So now that it's the end of the season, how was the Machete?
