Hi @Hbernhardt! Thanks for the great question!
What board you decide on will depend a lot on what kind of terrain you're looking to access by touring. You mentioned liking a more flexible board- do you typically head out to chase soft snow and natural terrain features? Or are you more of a 'go anywhere and ride everything' kind of snowboarder?
At least one board option comes to mind based on what you described:
The Jones Frontier is a more directional, but very flexible freestyle board that can play anywhere on the mountain.
Because there are so many options for boot/binding/puck combinations, I want to recommend reaching out to our Virtual Outfitting team. We'll pair you up 1-on-1 with a splitboard expert to show you all the options available and guide you through fit and compatibility in real time, from the comfort of your home!
