Got this board thanks to RJ at Exoticboards.com. This board likes to go *fast* with it's 9m sidecut. It is a stable snowbound laser... here are some review by other riders

=== PSR on freecarve.com =====================
The Reto,um,is a Weapon. It's quite fast, carves super(better than an Axis of equal size IMHO) with unreal edge feel, and is an awesome BX board. It's made to be a fast-ish freeride board that still park/pipe friendly. Yet, it works SO well as a GinsuKnife when set-up with Cateks, and I'm comfy enough on mine to go Racing (gates or BX) on it.I really like the Tail, which allows for insane airborn edge-changes or fairly high Ollies. It's only 'weakness' is in light pow, where the stiffer nose makes 'feeling' the snow a tad tough to do, so you work a little harder in freshies than you would on a WorldWide or Tanker.

The Review
"The Rad Air Reto Lamm LSD 164 rode the groom just like any of my alpine boards, it was a hoot to ride, the best feature of this board I think is the fact for a 164 board it has a 10.5m sidcut..you can feel the difference... when at speed I could still lay it down on carves and would not feel as if It were going to throw me over the handle bars.. I did not have to work real small radius turns I could take my time draw out some nice lines and it would just hold. I had Bomber plates on the board and found that the set up was perfect.. don't know why you would put soft boots on it anyway.. you could go into the powder and come out in the Groom and rip! Nice to have best of both worlds... bout as close as it gets.. Surprised the hell out of me. The 164 feels longer than it is in turns but short enough to go around and play!!"
"Nice smooth ride as well, no chatter during laydown carves and it was able to handle the higher binding angle with ease!.. and the dampening topsheet is way cool!!!! the aluminum teeth tip and tail protector are the bomb!"
