lonbordin Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Back in July (2012) I bought this 170 Proteus from Donek’s Summer Demo thread. http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?37583-Donek-Summer-Demo-Sale It was my first metal board and it’s great but its 19cm width is just not wide enough for my 29.5s at an angle I’m comfortable with and my season is over. I’ll be getting a properly sized stick from Sean this summer. The specs, description and details are here: http://donek.com/snowboards/alpine/proteus/ There’s been many threads about the Proteus on BOL… suffice to say it’s an awesome board. Our fearless ex-mod just posted his in the Board porn thread. It’s got some light scratches on the base and one very small area that need a bit of ptex (outside finger pointing pics). I clipped a gate and it separated the top left edge about a 6cm long. I cleaned, clamped and epoxied the top sheet back down. All that is noticeable is a small ripple where it folded. I’ve only ever ridden it with a plate so it’s devoid of the typical binding marks. It's been ridden about 20 days since purchase. I’ve sold boards on BOL before and I’m lonbordin on ebay as well.

breeseomatic Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm interested, is there any specs on the flex pattern? What weight rider will this board accomodate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm interested, is there any specs on the flex pattern? What weight rider will this board accomodate? Only Donek would have an idea of the flex and weight... I never asked. I'm quite large (6'4" 245lbs) and I never felt like I was too heavy. I had demoed the board at Loveland before I bought it. Some of the reviews of this very board are by people of different sizes. Google Proteus site:bomberonline.com for other people's views.

breeseomatic Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 You have 100 lbs on me and I really just started carving so it's probably too stiff for my weight/ability. Free bump for a beautiful board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breeseomatic Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) I'm super interested. I talked with Sean and he said it would be a decent board for me. Please send me an email through the site and we can coordinate off-line. Thanks Edited April 8, 2013 by breesej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
