I'm in need of a new splitboard and am looking at the Shinn. Not so sure about the big plastic S though. Has anyone ridden one? Curious to see how it rides and if there was a big difference between the two sizes. Thanks!

And if this is like the hyperlink, where basically the only thing new is the fabric, that’s a sad new generation. This statement is completely untrue.

This might help you make the decision.

The Hero 9 will do the auto leveling in the cam itself which would help reduce editing.

Ive got the Hero 8 and its a very high quality product that I find very few issues with. Hardware and software are both pretty polished. The upgrades that seem meaningful on the 9 are (a) the replaceable lens (in case the lens scratches), but I think you can just buy a lens cover for the 8 if its t...
