@websight: thanks for the info, there will be the day I am buying my own monster.
the board with that bambus-topsheet was made by a small german manufacturer. it's a Plasma Competition, 190cm length, 20cm width and 17/19 meters sidecut. I was blown away by it's performance on steep icy slopes, so I needed to buy that beauty
There's no metal in it, but the ice-grip make me believe titanal is s promotion-gag :rolleyes:
If you speak german or like google translations, here's a review: http://www.frozen-backside.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=4885
The board was a prototype for a swiss rider, but he will get another one
