Bobby Buggs Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 a 168 board with a 13m side cut Sidecut(m)13.0 Eff.edge(cm)151.5 Tip/Tail width(mm) 22.6 Waist width(mm) 18.6 Setback(cm) 4.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 ...but it sounds like the specs of an Oxygen Proton 168. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 190 pounds I have a Coiler Am 172 w/ 12 sidecut on the way so I don't think it's odd even for a bigger guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Buggs Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yes its the F2, can I ride that at 180 lbs? It does not say anything about Jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boarder_Ted Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have A Morrow Rocket 168 (stop laughing!) with almost those same specs. Hell, it even has Titanal! Rides great. I love it...but then I weigh in at 150lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 at 210 and I never folded it they make a good freecarver what year is is it? in more recent years race stuff got softer from most manufacturers, I had a red one from around 2000 maybe a little older vintage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadx Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 F2 says the F2 Speedster RS 168 is for riders 55+ kilo. so that equates to about 121 pounds and up. At 180, you are fine in regards to weight range, but it might be a bit soft depending on your riding style or maybe even just your personal preference. Unless you prefer a super stiff board, you should be fine. To give you a comparison, here is what F2 says about all the RSs. 168 55+ kilo. = 121+ pounds 173 65+ kilo. = 143+ pounds 177 70+ kilo. = 154+ pounds 183 75+ kilo. = 165+ pounds Not that a manufactures weight recommendations help a person pick a board by personal flex preference, but at least they indicate when a person might be too light for a board size (for the boards intended purpose).

Bobby Buggs Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I just got one like this, I figure it gives me a tweener board that I can use when conditions suck and I wont care what happens to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadx Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Ouch! That's a cruel fate for such a nice board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
