  11. The Grocer 180 delivers the milk and cookies

    in For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Ronin42

    9.5/10

    LibTech 180 Grocer. A classic longboard, stiff enough to carve, long enough to float through the deepest powder</SPAN></SPAN>

    Lib Technologies Grocer Snowboard </SPAN>

    Next time the snow is elbow-deep, strap yourself into the Lib Tech Grocer Snowboard for the smoothest, floatiest ride of the season. This super-long, powder board keeps you afloat with a 180cm length and 262mm waist, while the low-maintenance TNT polymer base provides a fast ride. A directional, progressive sidecut allows easy turn initiation in the wide-open fluff so you can cruise with confidence. This board is designed to keep you on top of manky Cascade conditions, and is best ridden by aggressive riders. Under the Custom Wood topsheet is a honeycomb-wood Air Core which increases overall board strength and decreases weight for improved edge control and flotation. Everyone loves a big powder day, and the Grocer delivers the milk and cookies.

    I pulled this out because I dont get up to the hills enough. It is in great shape from only light use. Bottom still has lots of structure, Base has been cleaned and leveled. Edges compleately tuned before putting away, Base and edges have thick layer of general temp wax. All care done by hand no power tools (other then the iron for the wax) She is ready to ride or you can scrape and buff the wax off until you are happy.

    $390 shipped CONUS Canadians a bit more. obo

    Leave it to Garrett to do a reverse migration Hawaii to Colorado, I assume. I have not heard much about him since his Way Cool Ted Talk.

    Just as an FYI

    "Hyper Intelligent Coral", I was remembering/thinking of that this morning.

    Maybe with a New 4X4 van he will look forward to some Epic Powder days.

  19. Donek 179 FCII Alpine Hard Boot Carving Snowboard

    in For Sale

    Posted

    (SALE PENDING)

    (SOLD)

    First off I do my own edges and hot waxing. Edges are 1*base +.5* Side.

    I put a quick wax on after every day after the 3-6 times per year I ride, and beng that I am so lazy about scraping and corking so the bases (since I am not racing I just let the snow do the work) they have been very protected for the light amount of use I am able to give them. Living out west I am finding that my lazy ego likes looking for powder stashes, so I am thinning out the quiver.

    The FCII is Donek's the most forgiving of his longest running producet family the Free Carve seriesboards. Sean (unlike lots part time garage builders) has built a Legitimate and growing business in Colorado. Go to his site for more info on him and his boards. http://www.donek.com/

    I have structured the base and kept it in excellent shape. The base and edges are (in some ways) better then new because of the care in the hand tuning I have done. If you live in icy condition then feel free to add .5* - 1.5* more degrees to the side edge but as the is such an excellent carving board out west I did not find it neccessary.

    Yes it has some lift line scratches but absolutly noting that affect performance.

    The green one on the left is the 179 Donek FC II nothing wrong with this light board.

    As measured

    Nose 25.4

    Waist 19.5

    Tail 25.3

    Sidecut 11.2

    $35 shipping to CONUS, Canada and other locations will be more (buyers outside of CONUS will be responsible for total actual shipping charges).

    The weight range for this Donek is #175 - #225 consider that managing/matching the flex is part weight, part speed, and part agressiviness so the board could be a comfy run cruiser or the full tilt hard charging go fast board depending on the Who, Where and How it is ridden.

    This board is suprisingly light and is not tired at all. If you have stiff enough bindings and boots it could even be used by soft booters.

    Make me an offer sub $300!

  24. Dupraz D1 Edge Tuning?

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    When I am working on my edges I de-tune them from max beam to the end of the board. As far a mixing edges I dont see it paying off non pros.

    If the question is what base and side angles to run since the D1 is a nice powder baord I would think 0*, .5*, 1*, (maybe 1.5*) would all work for the base, and unless you are powder riding in ice (sort of an oxymoron) then 0*, .5* for a side edge should be more then plenty.

    Others, please feel free to correct me as you see fit.
