Frank Morales Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I had a blast testing the new 170 CODA today at Mammoth I put it in some steep terrain and pushed it hard and fast for my first run it handled the speed well The long split tail flexed and molded to the terrain and made riding the chop and crud effortless.In the groom I tried to push it on the nose but it likes to be ridden more at the center and off the tail.I didn't have time to test the 190 but the 170 proved to be a good all mountain board.Keep a eye on Chad and his new sticks.

Bullwings Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm sure the boards are great, and i'm not saying no or anything, but Coiler is pretty well established around here as far as boards go. However, what i'm really interested in are the Monoboards themselves. Metal split tail monoboard sounds awesome. unfortunately i know nothing about the technology. What kind of bindings do the monoboards use? And are they release or non-release? Also, do they work with the Deeluxe line of snowboard boots (T325)?

Loc Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hope I get a chance to demo one before the season is over. Man, I'm excited to know there's an alpine board maker in SoCal! You do custom shapes Chad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses those Bomber fruitblade bindings, which do work with 325s, but I don't know how the boots themselves work for that kind of riding.

Hans Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I will certainly look in the summer when that Codasite will be updated with metal boards. Sounds interesting enough to me, especially the price is interesting too for us europeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I am going to be at Mammoth tomorrow testing my new proto-type carving snowboards:170 cm, 19.5 cm waist, 10m sidecut radius 190 cm, 19.5 cm waist, 10m sidecut radius Chad or others, how does that 190 ride? seems like a ridiculously tight sidecut for a 190...

mohouck Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Without a doubt there are several board makers such as Coiler and Donek that are well established and produce awesome products. CODA is not trying to copy or out-do these leaders. yama and now CODA have always had a focus on experimentation and prototyping and with the way the CODA monoboards are able to carve, it seems silly not to add some carving snowboards our line of products, and so far I am very pleased with the way they are turning out. As for the bindings on the monoboards,... I am big fan of the non-release bindings on monoboards and that is why CODA monoboards all come with an insert package that is set up for 4x4 pattern skiboard bindings. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of skiboards, but the bomber Elite binding happens to be a perfect match for CODA monoboards. As for custom shapes... we can totally do custom work. Each season we have tried out several variations on our current shapes... some work well, others not so much :o As for the 190 Sidecarve... I really enjoyed it. It could crank tight turns, but it was also great just riding edge to edge at high speed. It is based on a monoboard model that was the result of monoskiers wanting a long board. Also, the first time I took a prototype out at Mammoth earlier this year, one of the carvers I hooked up with mentioned that he would like something around a 190 length, so I thought it was worth trying. Thanks for the enthusiasm y'all. I look forward to getting more involved in the carving snowboard world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohouck Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 We have just released our updated website for this season. Here is the page that is most relevant to this thread http://www.codaboards.com/snowboards.php In the near future we will have all new graphics to choose from, or of course, we can build a board with your own custom graphics. We have added a line of carving snowboards, an option for a metal layer in your board, and we plan to add the option for custom base graphics at the start of the new year. Thanks again for all the great support! -Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Great prices, I'm looking through options right now I'm curious about the optional monoboard inserts. Can I mount TD3s side by side and ski? Btw, there's a typo in the V-O Sidecarve section, "snowbard" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwings Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Are Coda monoboard bindings compatible with snowboard boots? If so... Stay in business for about 2 more years and I'll probably be lining up to get one. I've been wanting to get back to my roots and try skiing again, and well, a monoboard seems to be the best of what I like about snowboarding and skiing while eliminating what I don't like about skiing.

mohouck Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Unfortunately the TD3's are too wide to put side by side, but the Bomber Elite binding that I recommend for monoboarding, will work with your snowboard hard boots. Thanks. -Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Love to see the offerings from CODA this year. Would you make me a package deal on a v-tail, twintip and skis with matching graphics? The diamond plate under the zipper would be cool:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 That zipper graphic is absolutely awesome on a split-tail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamboatrailer Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hey,Chad did Mike make fiberglass skate decks in the 70's ? If so, I still have one.Sorry to get off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Railer- Best chance is finding out from the man himself, 333skis.com Been in the industry a LONG time if you count Yama. I've heard stories of him riding Monos with his mom at Mountain High! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohouck Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Railer - I have never talked to Mike about skate boards. It is possible, but he would have been in Junior High I think in the 70's... The stories of he and his mom riding monos at Mt. High are true, although that was in the early late 80's I believe.
