New Board Porn thread for 2011

Moose, where do you ride that beauty?

Last night I stayed local at little old Mount Southington for CT Ski Council Monday Night Club races (GS). All I can say is Holy Crap! I've never had a ride that handled like this monster. I chose the Berteletti because it had an incredibly tight SCR, and it paid off. The board easily turned tighter than every gate set. I had to actually back off on several gates to keep from turning too tight.

Even though I'm off this week, I'm still "on call" until Wednesday, so I'm hoping to head up to Okemo or Killington for some long rides on Friday.

I've ridden other brands, but after riding last night, I'm hooked on Donek. Sean, thanks for building awesome rides! :cool:

Lots of talk about boardn porn so I decided to design and order my own. Graphics by Allie Robke a serial artist from south carolina. Coiler 177 VSR, still has the plastic in place!

Perhaps we should start a physics conversation about how impossible it would be for those ankle to support her weight.

Finally got it all together.

I will start with these (L to R):

A custom 11m sidecut 158 Prior BC hybrid rocker splitboard. It is designed for steep lines during corn season on the volcanos. Normal splitboard sidecuts (7.5m to maybe 9m) have a tendency to drift down the slope, at a pretty high rate of speed sometimes, and I am expecting the shallower sidecut will give me more edge bite and control on the steeps.

Then there are these.

First I will say, Hans Kessler builds serious boards. It is unlike any other board I have ridden (I have not ridden them all, yet) and it is no wonder his boards win so many WC races. All the complex aspects of its design work together seamlessly and the performance is incredible. Hans is also an incredibly nice guy to work with who, if he is in town, answers his own phone and responds to his own emails.

The black one is a stock 168 Kessler we got from Bola at the end of last season. It is incredible! Rebecca's riding went up several notches. What is amazing is how beefy it seems. I expect this board would ride just fine for someone much heavier than either of us. Supposedly I will also get to ride it.;) A huge thanks to Bola (and Hardbooter too!) for being so generous to ship out Kesslers for demo! :biggthump (Note, the stock 162 SL is quite a bit too stiff for me at 145 pounds but this 168 Allaround is a perfect flex)

The white one is my 162 SL custom. Ptex topsheet.

The blue one is Rebecca's 162 SL custom. Ptex topsheet.

Some more master work by Bruce, new NSR+'s :1luvu:

Been now some serious days with both of these boards.

I was so happy and convinced that my 177 NSR 23 would have been ultimate board, but now i must say that i got something even better :1luvu:

Darn, this new 177 NSR+ 23.5 is even more smooth and more nice ride. This is more than dream, i love this board, so dont wonder if you see me eating with board during break.

Also that my "race" version with asym core is awesome, if you make mistake with pole either you corect it or boards does it for you, feels like i'm cheating :eplus2: Neext pole practice on saturday again, tomorrow is day for my wide love :biggthump

Same kind comments are valid for whole bunch of Coilers (VSR's and NSR') we got here for Christmas from Father Bruce :)

With a generous help of my friends Jana, Michal and Frank I got new toys for my 50th birthday. The board is unbelievable.:eek: I cannot wait to put it on the snow over weekend.:eplus2: There is a small problem. Doctor found broken bone in my right foot yesterday.:mad: I took “only” two months to find out. It has been hurting like a hell but I was able put 12 days on the snow. Maybe with some painkillers, Ibuprofen, moon boot and ice and will be able to postpone obvious. Well I guess I am really old fart falling apart.

:(
