From L-R
2 Donek "Inclines" lively glass carving boards for when snow is too soft or deep for the race/carve boards . Blue-180, 23.5 waist, 11.5scr. Black-164, 23.5 waist, 9-10scr.
Coiler "REVelation"; (Bruce's version of a race board, but with an almost radial sidecut); 180, 20.5 waist, 13-14scr.
Donek "Rev" 175, 20.5 waist, 11-12scr
And...3 new sticks picked up the end of last season that I'm looking forward to riding and deciding which SL board to keep:
Coiler 165 race SL with 9-10scr and 20.3 waist. Told Bruce I missed my old SG163 and asked if he could make something similar but with a near radial scr. Only ridden a couple of times, and not sure if it is what I was hoping for, so looking forward to seeing if I can get it dialed in.
Kessler 162, 19.4 waist. Likely a custom build as the waist is narrower than a stock 162 which may mean it was built for a lighter rider.
2006 Burton "Fish" 160, 25.8 waist with 3cm taper. Found this never ridden board (still in the plastic) last spring. Figure everyone should have a dedicated powder board, just in case. To be ridden with very soft Raichle 323 "hard" boots when the snow is too deep for the "Incline" .
Having a variety carving boards (small, medium and large) makes the limited terrain of our small midwestern hills more interesting. Takes 2 minutes to go to the car and switch. If I lived in the big mountains maybe I'd only need a couple of boards...well maybe 3...
Also, souped-up my boots last spring by replacing the packed out stock liners with Intuition "Alpine", some booster straps and replaced the stock springs with the DGSS.
Just need snow!
