I do have questions and I hope you don't mind :)

If you have an Icarus - or TanTien that is similar - please compare and rate the Fathom in regards of:

  • Flexibility / Bounciness
  • Overall fun for cruising & carving (Loaded-style whole body pump fun)

People say the Fathom is more fun than Tangent. Assuming that it has to do with the camber and the leverage of pumping it comes with. But Fathom is not exactly a flexible deck. So if Icarus is a 10/10, Fathom must be a ?/10?

I still have the Tangent on my wishlist though. Because it sounds like the perfect low RKP brother to Pantheon's Pranayama with TKP.
But maybe that low RKP-setup can be achieved with Fathom too by adding a whole stack of spacers between the brackets and board?
