I think it depends on if he has a mold built with more. He might as he’s been at it since the old days when boards had way more. I asked him to build a board that was mostly rockered and he really didn’t want to do it. He said that’s the modification that really runs him into hours.

Ahh, the small kesslers for me finish really well. It’s the 185, that one, yeah I hear you on not finishing the turn. It might be that my current 162 was built for a racer that wasn’t chris Klug so he was probably around 150-170, softish flex. The wide SG looks enticing!

Yeah, was insane

I’m in! I don’t remember who it came from Reiter maybe, IDK so I have no specs other than it’s slightly softer than another one I scored on eBay.

They still slay powder really well and carve ALRIGHT. That Kessler though, magic.

so, took out my Kessler SL today. Ohh my god I’m seriously questioning spending so much time in softboots now.... I have not felt good, or even comfortable on an alpine board in years. Today it just worked. I wasn’t carving aggressively, I wasn’t going fast, I was just having a ball on the thing. Actually was seeing how slow I could still make it work. Turns out, pretty effing slow. Stoked! That thing is amazing, even with the stupid heavy hangls. its starting to delam, this upsets me. So, what’s the closest thing now that doesn’t say Kessler on it? That’s as much as what this thread is about, what’s a comparable replacement? As of now the closest thing I’ve been on are coiler NSRs. There’s some special sauce in the Kessler though, more predictable or something. Are the newer ones closer?

Those boot seem to run narrow, not for me but seem to be nice boots. try listing for $120 shipped or something, the board.... idk, that might be an eBay type thing. Probably will get 150 or so for it.

This. Even when I was a decent snowboarder that sort of thing was not something that was pretty. You do a lot of scrubbing off speed.

If it were 20 cm I’d of already done it

Baaah, never liked that stuff. Holmenkol, vola, dominator, swix and briko maplus all are waxes I’d choose before hertell

Yup, that’s what I mean!

Ahh, yeah, that’s the only sane way with maplus, where it misses is on the cold end. Guessing that’s not an issue in japan. Maine is cold.

Geez, big bear, Carving there must be...... terrifying. West coast equivalent to whatever is closest to NYC....

ohhh! open scad runs WAY better on mac OS! I can actually see whats going on now without buggy rotation. okay, so here we go, just need to fix the screw holes and maybe some other small tweak. this is amazing! would your life be made easier to add slots (like the ones daveo posted) as opposed to trying to calculate the offset? I'm trying to learn open scad but I'm green to this......

Ugh, won’t ship outside of Asia, those washers and screws were looking sexy! Thank you so much. Got it to draw in open scad but it didn’t like the input of my specs.

ahh Japan! Love those people, they think of everything. So, I can’t find specs for this thing, nevermind where to buy....

It looks like if there’s no twist then the holes for the screws then they will be straight across the riser. Was trying to compensate for that. The software for customizing on Thingiverse would not even draw your specs nevermind when I tried to change it. So I couldn’t really mess with it. What I’m trying to do is build one that’s pure cant with as little lift as possible. Sorry to ask for the hand holding! I’m guessing the browser doesn’t like their website or something.

maplus is good not a complete system though unless you spend big.....

Their base prep waxes and the broad range ones are killer. Four waxes cover just about everything. base prep bullet zoom butter zoom covers most of my waxing need sometimes use bullet mid winter ordome butter in the spring. dont like swix all temp! Will tell you that! It does have the advantage of running the same in all conditions though, slow. if I were racing it would be different, might then go to swix for some stuff. Still have big bricks of ch and LF.

Yeah, it goes over your wax instead thinning it out. Convinced Zardoz dries out your base, I don’t have definitive proof or anything. also butter stays on longer, can be mixed in with hot wax if you want. Im glad it’s big in Japan! It should be bigger here! Their product line is easier to use than most competitors and tends to be faster if you miss a little bit........

Anyone want to generate a file for me? Can’t even get the software to draw anything.... it would be no lift, no twist, just 3 degree cant. Just has to be wide Enough to accommodate the Now “skate tech” doohickeys. Screw holes set to accommodate 20-10 angles

Yeah, never liked it THAT much as compared to the old swix with silicone that they don’t make anymore, then the holmenkol that was almost the same. Current product that gets the job done better is dominator butter. Again, rub on, cork go Thin they’re gonna want a link!

Ohh man, that’s a nice shot

I’m out, still available
