Hey All,
Sorry, I posted this in the CLASSIFIED section by accident.
My Specs: 225 pounds, 6'1", size 29.5 Raichle - reasonably aggressive carver
My Boards: MOMO Design 165 (ya, I don't know who was the manufacturer is either!) - the board is very soft though
Oxygen Proton 185 GS
My Bindings: TD1 SI's
My surroundings: I live in Barrie, just north of Toronto, so none of your west coast length resorts or your west coast powder. We have Intrawest Junior at Blue Mountain!
I want to get into a 168 to 174 stiffer board, that will take my weight and not fold under the pressure of a deep trench. I did actually break one MOMO board a couple of years ago, they replaced it under warranty but with the same soft board. I was looking at the Prior WCB and 4WD and the Volkl RT in various sizes at the ONLY local shop that sells carving hardware. They also had a NEW Volkl RT 174 from a couple of years ago. (the one with the flaming sabre tooth skeleton) Since Coiler is not inventoried anywhere around here I can't look at them in the flesh. There is also no where to demo the products in the area either. I would like to move to one of these Porsche boards but I need some input from the masses that consider this sport a religion. I call it an insanely addictive hobby at this point, but am open to converting.
Any and all opinions are welcome and appreciated.
Darren
