The Skiff is so freaking fun, with or without bindings! It handles firm snow to get you to the goods, absolutely shreds any fresh, and is an easy surf for a noob like me. I am super stoked on the doors this opens to look at terrain in a different way, and have more fun in zones that would otherwise be a bit boring. I can now have fun on the splitty in safe zones even if it's an avy warning day. As it can be run with bindings it's perfect for lift accessed side country at my home resort, they wouldn't let me on the chair with a conventional pow surfer. Even if pow surfing doesn't end up being your jam it's an awesome pow board.
