fishrising Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I have an idea of what it might be, but I want to see if anyone knows for sure. I believe it's length is 173... And if you have ridden one, what did you think? I'll post what I believe it is, after some others try to figure it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Yellow Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 sort of reminds me of an old Dynastar GURU that I had...sort of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 fishrising , is that your own personal wine stash ? climate controlled ? That's a Heavytools Lizard 173. Did I win some noble rot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Ben I'm I out on this quiz since I figured out how made the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 http://www.snowboard.no/ht/Stinger.htm It actually looks sweet - the 172 is 18 cm wide. I do prefer the chard over the merlot, and some really stinky cheese. Those look like some sweet binders, can ya ID them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishrising Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Jack, that was me at ECES with it, but no one had any solid knowledge about the board. Geoff figured out the name right after ECES, and obviously Willy Whit just did. I was hoping some West Coasters or some folks from the other side of the big pond would know... From what I have gathered it is: Heavy Tools Lizard 173cm length 19cm waist 9m sidecut But has anyone ridden one? Or know of the quality of the board, or any other info? Were they popular? I am a relatively new carver and would like to know if this board is something decent... How about a country of origin? All in all, I guess it doesn't really matter, because to me its a fun board, and can turn in the NE crowds...just curious about it though... Yes WillyWhit, that is some of my wine stash, and it is climate controlled by being in my basement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishrising Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 WillyWhit, yeah they are Snowpros but they are getting replaced with some used TD1 SIs this year. You would be impressed with some of the wines I have down there. Too bad I only have a bottle or two of most, rather than cases...but some of the tasty ones are... 1995 Brunello di Montalcino 1996 Mount Veeder Cab 1996 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cab 1996 Cyrus Blend 1997 Duckhorn Merlot Some really good tasters, at outstanding values... 1997 Estencia Cab 1999 Forest Glen Merlot 2000 Casa Lapostolle Merlot (Chile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishrising, don't know about the Lizard, but I own another Heavy Tools board in that range: Prince Albert 172 cm length 18.4 waist 9 m sidecut It's austrian made, so I guess Heavy Tools was an austrian manufacturer (now out of business). I find it a decent board, sandwich construction, well built, and fun to ride. Fluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Jim, I'll bring the foie gras to go along the wine ( not sure how to sneak it through dog sniffing at the customs thu) when I come to a future SES ( you can keep the Yquem for at least 50 years, so I guess it, and I, can wait a bit!) A collection of old boards is nice too, but less tasty :) N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
