in the new catalog, it lists the 183.185, and 188cm models having 150cm of contact, and the smaller sizes going down from there.

^ I hate that name...

Why call 'em Narrow Ass Snowboards? That would make sense if they're making fat skis, but honestly, I despise the name, as well as how they sell 'em in singles. Why don't Line/4Frnt go and make snowboards and call  'em "Fat Ass Skis" and sell 'em in pairs?

The Magne-Traction does interest me though, especially how they grip well on ice.

Does anyone know if the wigglely things help on rails?

In theory they're great. People have been saying that they hold an edge on hard pack and moderate ice, with the edges detuned underfoot. But there have also been reports of them holding an edge almost too well. Especially for park skiers making sloppy landings. Like they'll catch and cause you to eat shit big time. But that sounds a little far fetched to me. I wish I could've demoed them when I was in CO over spring break.

I was definitely considering them this year, but they do kinda run expensive. Althought they were on SAC a few times for ~$300.
