big canuck Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 How stiff is the 67? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 the smaller burners are not as good IMHO the 188 and 197 were amazing in their day and still hold up alright with more current glass boards in their class. not sure if I was too much for the smaller burners or they are just not as good but either I was not impressed enough to buy either of the smaller ones I rode I gotta get on a afterburner or metal burner one of these days.

photodad2001 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've been riding the SIMSWIS since the 80's. Gotta respect the history. Probably my most owned board(s). Still on a simswis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 got me the same big blue 197 and lil green 162, need to fill in the 167 (never lend out a split tail, it'll get replaced with a madd 170) and a 188. hey fffrank..... Hey, Tony. Remember when I told you when you first started working for me, the guys that last in this business, are the guys who fly straight. Low-key, quiet. But the guys who want it all, chicas, champagne, flash... they don't last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I only have 1 board and it is the 162, so I can't compare with the others. For sure I'm looking on the Coiler Titanial for a second board ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I started on a 162 burner, it was a fun board to ride.. really like how alive it was. I now have a 167 brand new never seen snow, it's been sitting here for 3 years now.. I know I should try it.. but never got around to it.. specially having received 2 Titanal board this year !

carver Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Nice Frank! I have the same in doubles. Call me, I may sell the 197 in the factory wraper. The 188's are outstanding! Also the 178. There are so few 178's that we should not be ridding them? It's snowing as I write this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
