Good advice, Dave. I did get a deal done with b0ardski. won't be a need to cut it, though. thanks for the responses, All.

178 is longer than what I am looking for. Thanks though NS Chairman is a great board. I have access to nearly the entire NS lineup, thanks to a NS brand-loyal friend. Also, I am looking for something other than a cigar shape. Thanks

I have so many cigar shaped boards, but thanks for the offer. Appreciated I like the technical specs on the Flagship and the build quality (Jones) is very nice. What length is yours ? cat trip

Jones, Capita, Rossi - in order, from best liked to least liked. All three between 148 and 154. They all performed better than I expected, after looking at them underfoot. I would probably get the Jones for myself but I have access to a friend's.

yes - compared to any of my Tankers. the Undertaker maybe not so much but I am still grateful that anyone with an Undertaker is willing to sell tome. also, in my original post, I referenced an Osin 168 that I own as probably adequate, but i want something different. your point is well taken though, Neil. i have ridden the Rossi Sushi, Jones StormChaser, Capita Spring Break - all iin short lengths. Dave I should have bought Dan's wicked Dynastar, a while back.

Thanks for the replies, all 3. 1. I will look at images of the Rossi Judge - no need to post pics. Get back to you. 2. I have owned/ridden Heritage & Swift, respectively. Very nice boards but not what I am looking for. Thank You for posting. I do appreciate it. 3. Osin swallow- how much, boardski? DM if you prefer. Thanks Thanks All

i am not exactly sure what i am looking for but i will know it when i see it. i am going to need a board that is better in tight spaces than any of my Tankers. i already have an Osin 168 that will probably suit the need, but i want something different. nothing so exotic that i will be devastated if it gets nicked up - because it will. badly. i was actually thinking about arneburner's $200 SG but i think that might be too stiff or just not Pow specific enough ? yes/no? also, it probably isn't going to be cigar shaped, whatever it is. anyone have a Pow board that fits the description, to sell ?

immortalized - by a brand not her sponsor. i wonder where the original work is.

I have one - with a fresh Deer Valley full Olympic/World Cup Tune. 1 base 3 side If you want to know who tuned it, I will PM you. I can't sell it for cash because I bought it on this site for a great price. I would never part with it for that same amount. I think the tune at Deer Valley cost the same, with a tip. I will trade for the right powder board.

imho; the next steward of any board that is gifted like this should be whomever is lucky enough to notice the next thread/post that offers to send it forward, shortly after it is put up. and is truly stoked for the board, of course. i think it is more respectful of and more in keeping with the spirit of the original gift. and i think it provides the present steward and the next steward with an experience closer to the original intent. when and who is part of the magic. one does not “reserve” winning anything. one wins, or doesn’t. a few Virus boards (that could easily have been sold) have generously been passed on this way. if i were the original source, i would personally be discouraged if I saw people jockeying to queue for next. maybe that’s just me. to be clear, i am not trying to be a downer or micro-aggress on west carven. i am not interested in the board, either. if i had an interest i wouldn’t opine. if anything, West has written enough about stance and other data points to make the case that it’s tailored for him. i truly do not want my one opinion to in any way impact whatever path this board is on.

. first day was in November, last day in April. . 55 days, 3 of which were particularly all-time/amazing (1 pow day at Snowbird and 2 hero cord days here in the mid-atlantic). rode in the rain a lot because my daughter will ski in any weather - it's good for me, she says. . watched my daughter's skiing progress, exponentially. . scored a new pair of Atomic Redster SL skis for my kid at a price that had to have been a mistake. still makes no sense. . I broke 1 rib. I broke 3 boards (2 because of very heavy, wet snow). i think i would have preferred to break 3 ribs and 1 board. all very painful, just the same. . saw Sunapee for the first time - I am a fan. Great vibe there. met Kildy at Sunapee and saw his latest Frankenstein project, under his feet. that guy has a battery, for sure. wonder how his brain ever goes to sleep.

where are you in PA ? ever go to Roundtop ? i am there a lot because my kid races there. if you just want to try it out, i have size 31.5 - an old pair of Head Stratos Pro that that I will give you but you'll need to think about getting new liners and booster straps. all the buckles and the lean mechanism work. let me know

"shady" people don't refund money. just sayin'.

Two of the best thoughts ever on this site, all in one post. Both the words and the bottle.

still looking for these ? i have an old pair of shells that i use for parts.

you have a better looking thumb than i do. it is a good deal. i remember wishing that i'd bought this board from rjnakata. in the interim, i found another. otherwise...........

very nicely done, barryj. on a forum like this, it's super helpful.

i think the name is all wrong. doesn't do anything for me.

Cool. Dave Dowd saved me. Not sure I would have done that if I hadn't seen the picture. That image stayed with me.

I'd very much like to ride together, Pius. My kld races at Roundtop and that is where I have spent most of my "local" hill time the past few seasons. Got a few (6) days in CO a couple of weeks ago. UT later in the season, maybe another CO or Tahoe excursion in the Spring - all depending on the state of the public health crisis, of course. So.............what did you get ? Kessler 168, SG ? something weird ? do tell.

thanks AJCdice. now i think i want one.

beautiful board. any chance you'd consider taking another picture that is a profile shot, board on the floor ? i know hardwood flooring has variances and is not perfectly flat, but i am wondering what the camber profile looks like, from just a glance. it really is pleasing to look at.

Hi Ink. Hi Mario. Thanks Gentlemen. Sorry I went quiet. to ride my Kessler, i improvised. Hardboot on the front foot and a softboot on the back foot. a Catek OS1 step-in and a Flow NX2GT with a Bomber Power Plate. i remember seeing a photo of a guy racing about 30 years ago with a set up like that. that was the inspiration, along with necessity. Thanks again.

Hi Folks. turns out that I am apparently in need of one aluminum Catek OS1 toe block. If any of you are not too too far from Silverthorne, CO it'd be awesome if someone could help me out. I have all the hardware and the toe bail and everything else. It's just the toe block that's missing. I'll return it to you Tuesday evening with a bottle of wine or case of beer before I fly home on Wednesday. Or, when I get home I can mail it to you plus an extra for good measure. I have a lot of them but just not with me. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

"I'M JUST HOLDING IT FOR A FRIEND" that is hilarious. i have a few boards parked in friends' garages around the country and they have to say the same thing to their wives on account of me.
