I started riding the NS boards a couple years ago and really love them. I previously had a Donek Incline (10 years ago) and rode Prior boards for a long time (MFR, Spearhead, Powstick, 4WD, ATV, WCR). The Never Summer Premier F1 168 is my current go-to board. I'm a big fan of the RC hybrid camber and think it provides the perfect blend of agressive carving ability and playfulness. The multi-radius sidecut works great in conjunction with the camber profile. If you ride the board very centered, the shallower sidecut between your feet allows for excellent stability and edge hold at speed. Once you crank on the board, it responds quickly and the deeper sidecut kicks in. The F1 is the best quiver killer I've found yet. The Heritage is also great and if I rode more freestyle features I'd hang onto it. It's a lighter, snappier, slightly softer board with a smaller turning radius. If you like to charge the mountain, bust crud, and don't ride switch a lot, go for the F1. If you're hitting more freestyle runs, ride switch more, and want something with more pop, pick the Heritage. NS makes awesome boards, and I think either board will exceed your expectations. Just take a little time to adapt your riding style their camber & sidecut design, as it's unique and requires a little experimentation to master.

The Coiler's back for sale on eBay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110819014760&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123#ht_2536wt_102

The NS is still for sale, but it's back in NC and I won't be able to ship it until March. It's a great board, but definitely favors the freestyle side of the spectrum. It will carve well, but does have a short radius (7.8?). The board is in almost new condition. The only flaw is a small nick on the side of the top sheet where UPS dinged it. It's very small, and otherwise the board is perfect. Also, I'm going ahead and re-listing my Coiler All Mountain 172 Titanal as the board is with me in CO and will ship from here. It's an awesome ride. I'm doing mostly backcountry lately, and a board like this should get more use!

I've dropped all the board from eBay for now as I'm off in Colorado ripping up some snow! I will be back at the beginning of March and plan to re-list the Coiler. I weigh 160 (which probably equals 170 with gear on) so the board should be a good match. I do have a couple pairs of F2 titanium step-in bindings that may get sold as well. I'll give an update when the time comes. Thanks again!

Sorry, the Proto has been sold. The only boards remaining are the NS Heritage, the Nidecker Princess, and the Coiler. I've dropped my prices to try to move these quicker. Thanks! NS Heritage $400 Nidecker Princess $125 Coiler Titanal AM $500

This Coiler 172 All Mountain was made for a rider weight of about 170 lbs. The board number indicating the build is: 08WG1 7.2 + 3. Thanks!

Hey thanks Santa! I was trying to figure out how to do that. As for boarding around Asheville, I go to Crested Butte! After many years away in CO and in Seattle & Whistler, NC is just a tease. But the mountain biking is great:biggthump

Thanks for the input. I was going back and forth on that one, and I think you're right.
