As I donated $70 I got the LunaTik and the TikTok. Inside were two boxes for the two arm bands. The iPod nano I ordered a week ago and was ready for insertion.

The LunaTik was what I was after, but I did take the time first to see how the TikTok looked like. I think it looks really good with the red nano.

It was time to build the LunaTik. I laid all the parts in ready

Putting it all together was quite easy and took about two minutes.

And here it is at full glory. I absolutely adore it. The design is brilliant, the material feels good and overall it feels like a quality product. Definitely a thumbs up.

The head of the snowboarding department there, Ed, gave me all the attention, asked all the questions and tuned everything exactly to my need. I ended up paying 100 Euro more then other places, but for that service and that precise tunning it was well worth it. Sunday morning I went snowboarding for 2 hours and man oh man. It was amazing. Never have I had such an experience on a board. The faster I went, the better the board felt. Everything felt right. The board was hard enough to carve really well, but still communicate when I was nearing the limit. It was quick to react but very stable. Stuff I couldn’t pull off before I was doing now with confidence. It was just an amazing experience. I can’t wait to get to the real pistes this weekend!
