two_ravens Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Zoltan, looks sweet! Will you share the model and specs or are you going to keep us guessing, like Michelle? Got out for a few runs this weekend on the metal Coiler Stubette that Bruce built for me with the following instructions: "I'm a beginner and totally suck - please make it easy!" He totally nailed it! :1luvu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 It's a Coiler VSR 173 which Bruce made softer for my weight. What sold me was I emailed him and told him my weight and my (then) board, and then he told me the problems I was experiencing, and he nailed them exactly. I then told him how I ride, where I ride, and how I'd like a board to feel, and asked him to build me what he thought would be best; he's the expert after all, not me. Let me add working with Bruce was a truly excellent experience. He returned all my emails, fully answered all my questions, and it's a gorgeous board. However, if I finish my first run and feel no difference I'm going to punch myself in the head. Repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Zoltan, don't worry - you'll be feeling a difference on the first turn! And by the end of your first run that grumpy Santa character on your tail is going to be sporting an ear-to-ear grin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Zoltan, looks sweet! Will you share the model and specs or are you going to keep us guessing, like Michelle? Got out for a few runs this weekend on the metal Coiler Stubette that Bruce built for me with the following instructions: "I'm a beginner and totally suck - please make it easy!" He totally nailed it! :1luvu: First of all, you DON'T suck! But I told Bruce the same instructions with a little "kinda like the one you made for Angie but longer" and he nailed it perfectly! I'll give you the specs and such at the SES. I thought the pic was much better than stupid ol' specs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Today was my first day of the season, and my first ride of the board. Bottom line, I really like it and am very happy I bought it. The first day I always start out with rubbish technique, and no board is going to help that, and I didn't really feel much difference. However, as I started putting things back together, the board started revealing more and more of it's capabilities. It stayed smooth the faster I went without the chatter and noise of my old board, and really let me focus on my technique instead of not crashing; I really liked that. It's also very obvious to me it's capable way beyond my meager abilities. I'm not sorry I started with another board, but I'm very happy I'm on this board now.

thebionicman Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 This biggest thing I noticed is that it gives you the time to adjust your technique. Its probably only like 500 ms but its enough to adjust. Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
