A little softer and narrower. I think the one you have is this one, off of the Donek website? 182 Thorndike GSa 03 182 165 15.0 25.07 20.50 25.07 9.8 Best of luck, and see you up on the Mtn.

chimbulito Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi, I've been snowboarding for the past 15 years, but only with soft boots and free ride boards, I've been always was crazy about carving, so I decided to try an alpine board this coming season. I'm about 250 pounds and 6 feet aprox, looking for an all mountain board with bindings, do you have any think that can help me to start, if you don't do you have any advise for me regarding the size of the board I shoul get, I don't want to spend to much money in my first gear. Thanks a lot in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 $400 DONEK 182-205 waist width I belive it is the GSa03 model. It is the Olympic model. ARGH... I'm so broke right now ! I would want this board if still available in a month or 2 :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Would love any rubber base plate type gaskets you may have. And the plastic shims that go between the bails and the aluminum block. I got a bunch of bales when they were shutting down but they all came without the plastic bushing. More bails would never hurt. Let me know. Nice to see you on here. I think you were at the qualifier the year before Park City Olympics. I tried but stunk the whole thing up. Watching guys who really know how to ride was awesome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

price Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have around 5 of the rubber gaskets that stick on the bottom of the baseplate but don't have any extra of the plastic pieces that you are referring to. Yeah that Park City hill never treated me all that well, oh-well, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Does Dave need to wait some more on picking up the board in my garage rafters??? PM me if so...hehehe!! haha, no way dude! that Airwalk is destined to be in my quiver before the first snows! LOL. I still need to pay off a few "splurges" I made this past 3 months ... Summer and Jet-ski season is just as addicting as carving on snow LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that Park City hill never treated me all that well, oh-well, Ian Would love at least three if you can spare them and they aren't part of a binding thing. could actually use them all but don't want to be a gasket hog. Thanks Ian. Please advise what you would like plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysurfer Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 hello out there.. I am seeking a Alpine carving board. Beginning Apl boarder, wt 160 lbs. ht. 5'9", I have many years exp on freestyle boards, many years surfing, If any of that helps. Any suggestions would help. If any of you out there have any set ups for sale let me know you can reach me at shysurfer30@yahoo.com All the best, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
price Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 HI, I would really like to be able to help you out but all the boards that I have are a little longer and stiffer than what you would want when beginning. I think you should probably look for a 172-178 with a little softer flex so that the commitment isn't such a factor when starting out. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxguitarist Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I don't have any boards in the 160's but I will look around, I have some other spots to check. If I find something I will keep you posted. Thanks for looking. Come across anything? General type I'm looking for is along the lines of a Donek FCII 171 or shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
price Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Sorry I have not found any shorter boards at the moment. A 157 and a cluster of 182-185's Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBrad Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 There is currently a Burton UltraPrime 162 in the classifieds, which would be a good starter alpine board. It's only $100, and you could later use it as your early/late season rock board when you graduate to something else. I rode an UltraPrime 156 for years, and it was a nice forgiving carving board. Not too stiff and not too much effort to ride. Plus, they are super lightweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
