WinterGold Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Because he doesn't ride little wussy boards. :DThe SL boards are so amazing to ride with the new designs. So fast, stable, and agile! His and her's 162 Kessler SLs are almost here! I hope you have chosen a nice color :D ...

Buell Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I hope you have chosen a nice color :D ...New Kessler Custom - The blue is sweet! Yep. Blue for Rebecca and white for me.

WinterGold Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yes, please do!!! Is the blue a new custom option? Are there any other colors? You ordered 2 162 SLs? Any differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Why only for "longer GS style boards" ? Haha, well, not "only", but I can imagine some people might prefer a more turny, "hooky" shape for a shorter board. But for GS, IMO this is the only way to fly.

bobdea Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Look what came in the mail yesterday!!!! I got my FLC, and Angie got her Khyber. And we got tons of snow on the peaks! prior has some awesome graphics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 That FLC graphic somehow reminds me a of Steepwaters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yes, please do!!! Is the blue a new custom option? Are there any other colors? You ordered 2 162 SLs? Any differences? In April it was black, white, blue, orange and red. His and hers basically. Mine is for a little more aggressive, slightly heavier, slightly taller rider (I am still only 145 though). The way she rides the 168 Kessler though, I don't think there will be much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvingbassist Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 now that blue kessler is DEFINITELY board porn!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 prior has some awesome graphics! The graphics Jim got were actually originally only for Prior's Skis, but he asked if they'd put them on the board and now they've added them to the graphic line up for the carving boards. It looks sick in person! Only my soon to arrive hot-pink-snake-skin-topsheet Coiler can compete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovastic Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Look what came in the mail yesterday!!!! I got my FLC, and Angie got her Khyber. And we got tons of snow on the peaks! Hey Jim! That board seemed to me like exactly what I needed from the first time I saw it on Prior web site! I was trying to find test models in Europe, but had no luck Please make sure to post a review as soon as you test it!!! and maybe compare it to some other European boards if possible Cheers!

Shred Gruumer Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I know... Did you tell him how you ride.... I assume so since you also have the plate inserts... tells me you got a NSR+Asym.. Just a hunch.. RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott.Creer Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yes, it is the NSR+Asym. Bruce and I exchanged several e-mails. I got the inserts if I decide to rock a plate. We will see what happens this season. I have the sidewinders to throw on there, which I wouldn't use if i got a plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Got a new Dupraz in July. Been taking it outside to make sure it gets the required dose of vitamin D. The topsheet on this thing is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 This season's boards~two new rides, one old standby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svr Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I added another board for this season as well...sorry it is for soft boots, but the Karakoram Split30 binding system is pretty slick and Tyler and Bryce are great guys pushing the envelope on new ideas for splitboarding. My only worry is that the Spearhead 178 is going to be too short compared to my normal 200's. cheers, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 The Karakoram system seems like the next step with it's active board retention. I'd love to see a bail binding version for use with dynafit toe pieces. Was the 178 prior the longest factory split you could get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svr Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sadly, the longest production splits are the 178 Spearhead from Prior (although they used to offer the split swallow in a 181) and the Venture Storm 181. I like the shape of the Prior and thought I would try it first...the venture's are nose rocker-camber-tail rocker (flat cambered between the bindings) and the prior is nose rocker-camber-tail rocker (camber between the bindings). Might have to look at a custom or a do it yourself in the future. cheers, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
