i own two metal coilers and a 3 year old
nidecker GS 183. it ain't metal, but it is still
a very fun board and absolutely carves
it rides shorter than a 183 i think, and it is very
smooth and predictable. i'm 5'3" , 135 pounds, and
it's just fine. this is the 2nd 183 i've owned
the coilers are 179s
