alphabj Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I'm selling a 169 Osin 3800 board for $200 obo. I only used it for one day, it was just too big for me where I'm boarding. There seems to be a 3 inch stress fracture on the top sheet. Let me know if interested!

Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm selling a 169 Osin 3800 board for $200 obo. I only used it for one day, it was just too big for me where I'm boarding. There seems to be a small 1 inch stress fracture on the top sheet. Let me know if interested! pics of board / said stress fracture? Is this your original board or did you get it from someone else - do you know how much the last person used it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabj Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 My bad, I should have included that info. I bought the board New Old Stock from another member of this forum. I will throw up some pictures when I get home this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabj Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just realized I had a picture of the fracture on my phone. It should be easily repairable with some epoxy if desired. It shouldn't affect the functioning of the board. I'll get pictures of the board up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXFR70 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 where is the stress fracture, also, what year is this from roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabj Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm sorry there are a couple of things I need to correct. The board has now been used for two days (2). I had planned on selling this board (and posted it here), but a friend convinced me to let him use it on a trip we were going on. He used it for one day. When he loaded it into the tube to transport it, he accidentally put it on top of his other board which had a rather sharp stomp pad, so that explains the gouges on the bottom of it... a shame :( (see photo) There is the previously mentioned stress fracture in the top sheet resin, and also a couple of dings on the edge of the board. There is also a couple of scratches on the bottom compliments of TSA. (see photos). I believe I have photos of every mark on the board that will be attached. That said, the Board will now go for $175 OBO. I suspect that the board came from around 2006-2007, so it's becoming a classic quickly. I had bought it new old stock from another person on this forum about a year ago. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

BlueB Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I suspect that the board came from around 2006-2007, so it's becoming a classic quickly. Those are prior to 2003/4. Later they became Dynastar. I love them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabj Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 whoops. looks like it is older than I suspected at first. Thanks, BlueB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaRtharsis Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Can you elaborate on the stress fracture? Is it just the top sheet or is there structural failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabj Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Can you elaborate on the stress fracture? Is it just the top sheet or is there structural failure? As far as I can see it is only in the top sheet. I don't think I can even open it up to check (don't want to either), but I don't see any glass fibers sticking out. and the crack is only 3 inches in the dead center of the board. Looks to me like a purely cosmetic stress fracture that should not even get worse with use. You can try and open it up and throw down some epoxy to fix it. I guess it had been sitting a while before I first used it which may have caused it to happen. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to provide assurance that the board is OK.

alphabj Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 IMO. A crack in the topsheet is typically a sign of over stress or bad things to come. I know that it may not look like much, but ask yourself how did it get there? Was it there when you bought it? No, I bought it new old stock, so it was sitting around for awhile, but the board has only been used for 2 days. The crack appeared sometime within 1 year after the first use (I only noticed it when I got it out of the attic to sell). I used it with soft boots. My friend used it the second time with hard boots and the crack did not seem to expand at all. That's not to say that it won't expand further in the future.

Dan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 That is a shame. Somewhere in the memory banks I recall something similar with the 4807s, not sure. How heavy are you? Hopefully one of the guys that loves these boards will chime in. Can you feel a raised area? In it running length ways or across the board? I have some similar-looking cracks (at least, similar in that it's hard to get them to show up on camera) on my 169 3800, but I got mine by whacking the board pretty seriously on a big lump of ice hiding under the snow. No base damage, but there are cracks in the topsheet clear coat. The board flex seems to be unaffected, but I'm not 100% certain that it's still usable. Too bad...what's the replacement for this board? I have a Steepwater Plow, but it doesn't really seem to work for me the same way -- less float and less carvy somehow.

alphabj Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'll check to see if there's a raised area anywhere on the board when I get home tonight. I just went ahead and got me a Donek Incline with the custom dimensions that I need since I'm a bit bigger weighing in at 220 lbs. at 6' tall, and bigger boots. Carves great, highly recommended, but I think I still need another board for those days where there's a good bit of powder everywhere. Maybe the Donek Nomad or the Jones Hovercraft :D.

alphabj Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 There are no raised areas on the board anywhere. I am starting to think that the stress fracture may have always been there, and I just noticed it recently. Keep in mind that the fracture (almost just a scratch) is a good 18 inches away from the the front binding screws, and 8 inches from the front tip of the board.

alphabj Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The length of the stress fracture is essentially equal to the radius of the black circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabj Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Found this snowboard in my attic again... totally forgot I had tried to sell it. Can anyone take it off my hands for, say, $60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'll take it for $60. I'll send you an email. Scratch that, I had to send a PM through the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Good buy Corey, happy surfing! I was tempted when I saw it this morning, but I already have the Dynastar version. Decided to let someone else have fun with this versatile board. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'll probably only use it 1 or 2 times a year, but that's a great deal! I've been using my Coiler 175 EC in whatever powder I find - it was a blast, but I suspect/hope this will be even better. Will it fit in a Sportube 2?
