Mike T Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'm looking for a suitable alpine board for my wife to use as a rock board. Need a waist width suitable for size 23 MP feet and roughly 45 degree angles; something that will be softish at 130 pounds; and not too expensive - she has a Coiler but doesn't want to take it out on thin cover. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 try doug? dryer, that is saw him today on the donek cmc 200000cm board...damn that was a big board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hey Mike, are you interested in my Nidecker Next Step? The stated length is 159 cm, and tip/waist/tail by my measure are 27/21.5/27. I got it new and put maybe 4 hours of riding on it - it's just too flexible for me to have much fun with. There are a couple of scratches in the base, but nothing deep, and the topsheet and edges are pretty clean. I'd want around $40 for it, I guess (I got a pretty good deal on it), or I'd consider bartering (and throwing in a few more $) if you have any toys you're thinking about parting with. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post or send you a photo. You're welcome to swing by my place in PDX, or I'll be on the mountain Wednesday (hopefully) and probably one day this weekend as well, if you want to meet up there and take a look.

big canuck Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I have an older Rossi Throttle (red topsheet) 159 in really good shape. Base is in awsome shape It's way to small for me (I shouldn't have bought it). It hasn't been ridden in at least 5 or 6 years $75.00 Canadian plus shipping. I can forward you some photos if your interested. I have some Emery bindings in great shape for $100.00 Canadian total if you need those too. Great early season/rock board for a smaller rider. Let me know. Kurt kurt@bowcycle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for something quite a bit narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostertwo Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've a Burton FP 157, 18cm waist width, 9.57 M SR. Don't exactly remember the model year, but it's the one with the red topsheet. <img src="http://tinypic.com/uvtw5"> <img src="http://tinypic.com/uvtwy"> It has been well taken care of, and has seen a few seasons of use. Base is in great shape, edges are too, but have seen a few tunes. It'd make a great, high-performance rocker. You're welcome to it for $75 plus shipping. Cheers, B-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar(angel Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 $50.00 plus $20.00 shipping and handling Mike, here's a picture Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have a Burton Alp 151 that might do the trick, if you are still looking for a board and are interested. It's blue with a blue flower in between the inserts. I paid $50.00 for it and only used it once. Make an offer! Or just pay for shipping and it's yours!

Mike T Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 ... still mulling over the choices! Jeffrey, what's the waist on the alp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Day Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Mike, I wish I could help you out a little better. But I really don't know. What I can tell you is that my boots are a size 24 MP. I want to say the waist is about 18cm. I'll take a closer look at it tonight to see if I can't find any info on it.

cafercr35 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hey Mike, I got a 160 burton prime excellent shape...it's black with neon green. Haven't riden in 2 years. I'll part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Thanks for the offer, I suspect that's gonna be a bit too much board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Maybe so. I also have an Owygen 157. Much softer board. It's actually a wall decoration right now. It was my first board, riden maybe 3 times. it reminds me of the burton alps. Let me know if you want more info on it. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Joe, what;s the waist width, and sidecut? Got any pix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafercr35 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I don't have the board home. It's up at the mountain house. I'll get the info on Saturday and Email the measurements and couple pics. Thats the best I can do right now. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 A few people are getting me waist widths this weekend, I'll make a decision next week. Now I remember why I wound up just buying her that Coiler in the first place. Only *one* of the boartds posted here is really narrow enough for my wife, and that's the 157 FP which I suspect will be one of the stiffer ones of the bunch... she alreday has a Coiler that's moderately stiff (for her weight) so I am looking for a noodle for her to use as a rock board (at her request). Ladies--- If you have any recommendations for me in choosing, let's hear 'em! (5'2", 130 pounds now, still shedding some "new mom" weight, 4 days on plates, 400 on softies, more about form than aggressiveness, looking for a rock board to complement women's FC 165, something turnier and softer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Just wanted to thank everyone who either posted an offer on this thread or emailed me privately. I wound up purchasing a Nitro for her from someone who emailed me privately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SnoboardAN Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hey, it sounds like you've had a lot of offers but if you haven't chosen a board for your wife yet, I have a Burton factory prime 151. It's all black, from a couple of years ago (the last year that Burton made race boards. Its running length is 131 with a waist width of 19 and sidecut radies 7.96. Is used it for one season as a slalom board. Let me know if you are in interested! Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
