Hi all, Just picked up an APO Stance 174 from Salty Peaks in Utah. No idea how it will ride but I'm going to put some soft boot bindings on and see how it goes. Has anyone heard of these guys or know if this was a good idea? Thanks

Sold. Thanks for the interest.

For those sending private mails, thanks for all the interest. Just an FYI, the best shipping rate I could find for Canada was an extra $40. Don't know why it's so pricey but if anyone has an alternate way of getting these shipped for less, please let me know.

Hi All, Extra set of Raichle 324 boots in size 27. Shells 25 -27.5. Liners are 27.0. A bit strange since I'm a 10.5 - 11US and they fit me great. I received these as a package with another board and they don't get much use. The heels look as if they are from another boot but they are in good shape as the photos show. $150 includes shipping in the US. If want to pick them up, I'm in Long Island, NY if you want to pick them up.

Hi, I know it's a stretch, but we are looking for a week long rental starting around the 16th of Feb., anywhere in Vermont. The hard part is that we would like to bring our very friendly dog and since we have young kids, we would like to be on a shuttle route or be able to walk to the slopes. We have stayed at Killington in the past, but any mountain would do. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Hi, thought I would check in. Do you still have this board? If so, how much?

Hi Noah, I'll gladly take the boots. Shoot me a note to let me know if you take paypal. Thanks

How about $150 plus shipping?

Sorry, sold last night.

So to put closure on this thread, just received my Coiler Nirvana Energy 174 today and sold my Factory Prime. Can't wait to get out and see what snowboarding in the 21st century is like. Thanks to all who provided the advice and motiviation.

More pics

Hello, For those that have emailed and asked for more detailed photos, I thought I would just load them here.

Burton Factory Prime 7.1 Running length - 171 cm Waist width - 20cm Radius - 12.97m The board is in good shape and was tuned last weekend. Plenty of camber and edge. Only used the board a couple of times a year for half days. $125 if picked up or $175 shipped in the US. The board is on Long Island in NY. Burton carbon race plates. These are pretty rare and come with carbon fiber bases and aluminum 3D discs. Significantly lighter and stiffer than the plastic burton plates. $150 or $175 shipped in the US. If you take these with the board, don't worry about shipping on the bindings. Feel free to send me a note if you want more photos or have any questions.

As a old school windsurfer, I see many parallels between snowboarding and windsurfing. In addition to what Sean said, which is dead on, we are doing a lousy job of growing the base of riders that are introduced to the sport each year. Equipment and design considerations are one thing, but the ability to bring new people to a sport that has a high start up cost, $85/day lift passes and a $20 lunch presents large barriers to entry. The windsurfing industry went big on mail order and most of the local shops and schools that generated excitement and kept a new crop of partipants coming in on entry level equipment shut down as they could not compete. We need manufacturers, resorts and local communities to work together to make sure that we are not cornered into an X-Games elitist sport that does not welcome families and middle aged, unhealty adventurists like myself.

Hello, is the RC still up for grabs? Thanks

Sorry, all sold.

Thanks all. Think I'm convinced. Now I have to deceide what to get. Not a bad problem to have.

Hi all, I know that the new stuff is better and sexy, but is it worth the money to move from my beloved Factory Prime 171 to a new Donek or Prior? As there is no East Coast demo center that I am aware of, it would be a big leap of faith for me so any prior experience or advice would be appriciated. Thanks

Not quite sure who makes this, but it's a three piece cant plate that is fully adjustable. The two discs allow you to dial in the degree of cant. $30 includes shipping in the US.

I have a pair of Burton Wind boots in size 29 that I kept around so my friends can try carving. Since all my friends are scared to go fast, I'm just going to get rid of them, hoping that they go to a good home. Hardly used as shown in the photos. $125 shipped within the US. If you need international shipping, we can work out the price. I'm also looking for a new board so let me know if you have something you would like to trade. Thanks

So many boards. What is your recommendation for an old guy, 170lbs, Northeast conditions? Board only as I have my good ole' Burton plates. Thanks, Pierre

Wow, just lost my classic videos in the storm in NY last week. Timing could not be better.

Thanks to all for the interest, but the board is now gone.

Hi, Since you are first to reply, it's yours if you want it. Figure $25 to ship. If you still want it, let me know with and address. Thanks

Anyone need a good old Nidecker 58 Tracer? Hardly used, stiff enough and plenty of camber. I'm not going to sell the benefits too hard, but if you need a spare deck to teach friends and family, let me know. If you have something to trade, all the better. Feel free to pick it up in Long Beach, NY or pay for shipping.
