Jack M Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Right, it's a single 12m radius. I have Coilers that are 163 and 185 that are VSR, so I wanted to go traditional with my middle child. The Proteus is billed as a metal board with the pop of a non-metal board, and I would agree. However it's considerably stiffer than the 14m board it is replacing, so it can draw a carve out to about the same size. Yet it can be stuffed down narrower trails too. Very fun, very versatile for carving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dano Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) yep. Safari was 5 years old. WOW! Time flies... I'd be willing to "store" the safari for you free of charge...;) Actually how did the metal board "age" overall? I know wood cores can get beat, but does the metal's charactaristics change over time? ( Or did you just get the rare "spousal board purchase approval" and had to jump on it.) Edited March 12, 2013 by dano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhD Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 The quiver for Big Sky, including a brand-new (delivered there) Nirvana 182. Ages in years (l to r): 1,0,6,5,1. Love 'em all. Had to leave the alpine skis and a couple of Arbors home. The Nirvana had a tough week, but it's all better now. Fabulous board when I'm feelin' my oats.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Hey Corey. I am guessing it is due to it being posted on one of Sandy's friends FB pages. I tried to "Embed" it but it did not work. Here are a couple photos I received just after construction. Sandy's video is better because of the angles . Sandy. If you can or want to send the file to me via email. I can upload it to my utube page and make it public?
