svr Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) As requested, I am starting the new thread as I am jonesing for winter and am curious to see what everyone else is getting. Mike Tinkler built me a brand new machine at the end of last season that I gave a sneak peak of before, but now that the season is approaching (and I found my camera) I thought it would be good to share. Specs are: Length: 201 Sidecut: 11-14 m Effective Edge: 168 cm Nose Width: 32.7 cm Waist Width: 26.1 cm Tail Width: 30.7 Cambered board with slightly de-cambered/rockered nose and a wider nose profile than tanker. My normal boards are Rad-Air Tanker 200's and I am 200+lbs with size 11 feet, so that is why it is wider and a little more powder specific than my everyday rides. cheers and pray for snow, sandy Mike built me a brand new machine that I cannot wait to ride. I will attach more pics later, but here is a quick video from Ipod (can't find camera ?&*^). Specs are: Length: 201 Sidecut: 11-14 m Effective Edge: 168 cm Nose Width: 32.7 cm Waist Width: 26.1 cm Tail Width: 30.7 Cambered board with slightly de-cambered/rockered nose and a wider nose profile than tanker in video for comparison. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200870893355483&l=81927021218488088 cheers, sandy Sorry it took so long, but here are some photos of the new board with 13-14 Diodes on it...now if it would just snow I would be happy!! cheers, sandy Edited September 4, 2013 by www.oldsnowboards.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLN Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 That's a proper board to start a 2014 Porn thread. Cannot imagine where you need 200x26cm, but this sounds like tons of fun anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLN Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 bottomless powder softie-surfing with a groomed return route. looks great. With 26ww, riders weight range will be like 220-300 and more, I guess. Or some big and flat areas on the way. Swallows around 185-190 with 24cm waist easily hadle 100 kilos guys in any conditions.

poutanen Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 This might be the best place to ask this kinda thing... Anyone know what's up with Frank from Virus?!? Is he on summer holidays? I requested a new board a few months ago and sent a few e-mails but haven't heard from him. That's not like him at all, he usually replies to every e-mail within a couple days at most... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poutanen Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I can send a FB message through Birgit, I'll let her knwo you two have been trying to get in touch with Frank... Actually I think I'm the only one. xy9ine has been trying to contact Kessler! Thanks if you could. It's not a rush, Frank and I just worked out a deal for a board back in May/June or so and I wanted to make sure he got the okay from me to proceed. He'll probably know me as the guy from Alberta buying an Avalanche FLP AFT 160 with a dark blue scheme. :D WANT TO GET IT TO POST PORN! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algunderfoot Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hey Poutanen, Well, that line of communication no longer goes all the way to Frank, Umm sorry. Late Summer is vacation time in Europe, Germans in particular seem to have months of it, so I would just be patient. I'm sure He has every intent on getting your new ride to you before the snow flies... My new "gal" should be arriving any day according to the Professor of Ptex.

Or some big and flat areas on the way.Swallows around 185-190 with 24cm waist easily hadle 100 kilos guys in any conditions. TLN, Yes, swallows will handle just about everything, but I wanted more edge contact for stability at speed and a little more versatility than a true swallow. I am considering expanding my quiver with a Swellpanik next so that I will have a surfy long swallow, but for now, the Tinkler is built for me as a very capable soft-boot carver and pow charging ride. cheers, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going swallows this season too. Will post a picture, when my quiver arrives. And I'm looking into swellpanik too, but before I order one, I'd like to know what I want from a swallow. Now I don't and I relly waiting for a season to try this. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algunderfoot Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have two new decks on the way including one very sleek, sexy, long legged swallow....but she won't displace my Powstick powder gun.....lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 So I bought a board from the Donek sale: 185 REV Prototypestock dimension / Experimental Fiberglass Construction / not quite as damp as metal / REV Base Sean said about the board,"The boards in prime condition. It was just ridden during testing a few times. We are experimenting with mimicking the behavior of metal laminates with fiber laminates. The glass version wasn't as damp. The carbon was as damp, but the reduction in weight resulted in a feel the racers didn't like. I think you'll find the fiberglass construction is more durable than the metal. That is our motivation for trying it. It does have the same amount of rubber that a metal board has." Looks Great! Can't wait to get it on the hill! Thanks Sean!

snowboardfast Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Let us know how that board works and if you have ridden a metal board how it compares for you? I wonder if that board would be cheaper than metal if it was a production model and almost as good? Maybe it would last longe rthan a metal board although I am not wearing out the metal boards I have too fast. I have yet to wear them out.

breeseomatic Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Two newish boards for this season: A BIG board for my height and weight, but Sean said it should be fun since it's all carbon, super light and softer in flex. And my board to use when I have to hang out with my soft boot friends while they hit the trees and general crappy afternoon snow. So the quiver contains: Donek Rev 185 Carbon Donek Saber 160 Glass Donek Proteus 170 metal Coiler VSR FC 169 metal F2 Silberpfeil 162 Dynastar 3800 163 Burton Supermodel 163 Oxygen Proton 149 (for the cute girls on the mountain to try) That's a lot of boards.

slopestar Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Those are nice! I would love to try that Saber! Im riding a super custom FC Bamboo that is not far off from a saber. Two sweet boards for the price of one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeseomatic Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Those are nice! Thanks! I would love to try that Saber! Im riding a super custom FC Bamboo that is not far off from a saber. Anytime we are both on the same mountain, my boards are open to demo. Two sweet boards for the price of one! It was the "Buy a a Rev, get a Saber for free" sale. Thankfully, I'm single and I don't have to justify my purchase or hide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.a Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 My first board purchased firsthand and I guess this thread is to show off, so here I go :) Plasma Carving Extreme 185 cm, 17 cm waist, and a perfect 12/14 m sidecut All sorts of magic inside topped off with bamboo. After testing the latest wares at Carving Masters in Austria this year, this was the one board (besides Donek's Proteous) that blew me away.
