Burton board question "E" series

[paappraiser]

Did Burton make a "E" series board?

Or a board with a "E" on the top sheet within the past few years?

It may have been another letter but im sure it was a "E" and that was all there was from what I saw on the top sheet.

I dont know if it was a alpine board or not.

Thanks in advance.

a low end alpine model

they had a whole series of cheesy decks by letter including the T deck(twin) and A deck(all mountain)

Were there names or just "e Deck".

How would I do a google search for them?

I have an 163 burton e-deck. It has a carving cut, narrow waist that demands high boot angles. I think they were out about 6 years ago. Pretty soft flex.

The E-deck was later renamed the Wire, which was later renamed the Coil. They are all "all-mountain carvers", similar in shape to the Prior 4x4, etc. I believe the Coil was the carviest, since it basically replaced both the Wire and the Alp (freecarve board).

Any of these are great for beginner/intermediate carving and all-mtn hardboot riding.

I think Jack's right--it went Amp---e-deck---wire and then coil--I have one of each somewhere in the attic. Soft flex but real fun in the mashed potatoes and edges of the runs.

paappraiser,

I have owned an E-Deck since 1996. This board is an easy carving board. I ride it with Burton Race Plates. It's name refers to the line of boards associated with softer carving Decks. This board is excellent for people who don't want to have to drive hard turns. Its flex is softer allowing for easier turning in hard conditions. I ride it on ice but don't ride it on softpack. It is a terrible board for soft pack. I was wondering why you are interested in this board??? Not to many people ride them. I have other race boards and only take the E-Deck out on days that I'm just cruising around. I will also drop into the park and ride this board switch. It is a fun all around board.

I was up in vermont at sugarbush (end of feb). There was a lady who I was talking to who had a E deck. And I for the life of me could not figure out what the board was called. She had hard plates on it and all. I think she rode it as a all around board. (she made a comment to me of something like if she wore soft boots she cant ride for crap)..got it direct from burton as a closeout or something... Just stuck in my mind.

I was hoping to try to find on for my collection .. Dont know if they make them bigger than 165sh though..

I set up a search on Ebay for them, but no one really has ever put any up.

mabey spring cleaning will help ..

My friend has a 2000 Coil 172 prototype (almost blank blue topsheet) that I'm sure he'd part with for cheap. I don't know if you meant "quiver" when you said collection, but the E-deck/Wire/Coil is no collector's item.

[paappraiser]

quiver yes..

I dont collect snowboards.

I have other things to collect.. If I collected something..

ask how much for the edeck... please..

if its cheap

Youse guys are gonna hate me. I'm picking up an E Deck from someone here in Denver this weekend for $50 WITH plates!

[BlueB]

I picked a pretty minty 156 with race plates last month. It's going to be great for the students!

More I look at this thing, more I see that the ATV was shaped after it!

They are very popular among the lighter riders / women. Great forgiving board than can carve without being driven hard.

I have at least one in the quiver for introducing freestyle softbooters to hardbooting.
