Sintered Man Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 It lives! They are a beauty aren't they!? I'd have posted a pic already, but alas my iPhone's camera was busted. For sure it's my favorite board I've ever owned. I set it up centered on inserts per the recommendations of this thread. I plan on riding it in every condition. There was a 5'2" demo unit for sale. I sent the link to my Buddy, I was hoping he would buy it for his wife. I'm drooling over the 6++ that's still for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Corey - is this the board that you tweaked your knee on? Last week I rode my new 181 Fullbag Hammerhead @ 35/20 with HB's and did not feel I had control or leverage on the heel. Next day I adjusted to 21/8 and used forward inserts - MAJOR difference! This big powder board can carve. Groomed surface was firm and fast and the board railed. Should have good results in CO next month. Give it it a go, less lateral stress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sintered Man Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Finally had the chance to ride the 6'3"!! It was the wrong conditions and the hill was packed. Still had a blast. Couldn't have had more fun in worse conditions. This board stays in my quiver forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 The Dupraz ate up pow and chop at Turner this week. I'm definitely the limiting factor in performance. I didn't change anything on the board over the 4 days. I just rode and learned. It was fun to plunge the tail down and pivot it almost vertically to change directions. It was fun in the trees, especially when mixed with the tail plunge trick. The nose pulled me out of a few moments when I got too heavy on the front foot, but it has limits. I also learned it's pronounced Doo-prah, with a silent Z in the French style. I still hate it on groomers. I mean, it's not bad, but I feel it carves about as well as a rental freestyle board.

Neil Gendzwill Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Sounds like you brought the right board for the conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.free Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't know Corey, mine D1++ 6' carves great on groomers. I even can lay it down completely on some firm snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It likes it when I ride like an angry 15-year-old. My legs? Not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
