I've recommended this to a member with initials R.A. He should be getting in touch, thanks.

I don't know enough about the Kessler plate to say, but I highly doubt it. I don't think they would go back down that road. That too. It's like a machinist said hey I've got an idea, but has to be 100% aluminum and that's final. Maybe. I haven't inspected my Allflex lately, but I expect to see cracks someday. Maybe, but the thing about Allflex is that it is a decoupler for the first few mm of travel and then it "locks" and becomes a board flex modifier. The hinges on the ends of the plate crash into the mounts on the board, and the center mechanism runs out of travel. Again, nothing I would have thought to be beneficial, but here we are. You don't need the extra wings or snowstix extending beyond the Allflex plate because that can just be built into the board.

You can just X out of that dialog and see the post because it's public.

Yeah the Allflex is not a design I would have ever thought of because it's so stiff and seems to interfere with board flex in a huge way, but, it works. I have a "soft" (doesn't seem so soft to me, and you cannot flex it by hand) longitudinal cut full plate on my Kessler 185 GS and it works great on that board. I cannot use it on my SL board. But it is heavy and it does make the board run longer. I would think a composite plate would be a nice compromise between the Allflex design and the obsolete decoupler designs like Apex, and the primitive Vist design. Interesting that there seems to be no mechanism in the middle of the Kessler plate. @roch: Crop of the group photo. Note the "3" - your pic is of board 2.

You could have clicked the link in the OP ya Luddite! I'm wondering why there are what looks like empty inserts in front of the plate mount: big pic:

Edwin Coratti takes World Cup gold on a new Kessler plate. I was going to say it's Allflex mount, but it looks a little shorter?? https://www.instagram.com/p/DC_yWXKvaig/?img_index=3&igsh=aWZvazhwNjF3MHpl

I know, and that's a problem!

Sweet vid and cool tune. Gotta admit I'd like to see more continuous shots of you showing multiple linked carves at normal speed.

I've been taking gym classes 3x a week since August, and seeing a Chiropractor. Just had day 3 on snow and day 1 on hardboots yesterday. Legs and stamina feel like midseason, so that's great. However my early season lower back problems are just as bad as usual. I don't understand and I'm very discouraged. Cannot ride today. Gonna see my PCP who is an Osteopath. Thinking of trying corebalancetraining.com.

Day after, at Sugarloaf

Trying the next size up now in the Corsa - 28.5. The shop didn’t have them last time, and they didn’t think they would fit in my 28.0 shells anyway. Wearing them for about 10 minutes in the shop felt great! Looking forward to getting them on the hill. They didn’t have the GFT, @Jarcode, but I believe the proper size has fixed my issue.

$900 plus shipping

The number embossed on the outside of the shell is the shell length on the outside. I forget if it's sole length or overall length but that number isn't really useful for us. The mondopoint size is more important, and your size is the length of your foot in cm. Unfortunately you're between sizes in UPZ so you're going to have to make a decision. They will let you order two pairs of boots and return the one that doesn't fit as well as long as you don't wear it outdoors. Other factors like width and volume can only be determined by trying them on. Personally, my longer foot is 28.3 or 28.4 and I use a mondo 28 Mountain Slope. I should have my local shop stretch the toe a little but I haven't gotten around to it.
