Banjo Bill Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I came across a Sims (Carver?) 161 still new never use, Real Cheap!!!! I would like to know is this a Race board or a Free carve? I am looking at it for my Daughter she is 14.. 5"9 and 135. Is this to much board for her. She has been Carving about 6 times and i would like to get a board for her. At this time I can't afford a Donek for her....... Thats dads board !!!!!

willywhit Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Banjo, maybe post a pic of it if you can . I found a Sims 167 "CARVE 2" for cheap a few years ago and it's like a Burton Alp. Wider, softer and great for wanna be carvers. Burton mini carvers are easy to find for your daughter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marz Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Ar(angel has some nice small Oxygen Proton/KR 149's on ebay, cheap. I just picked one up for my wife, 5'8 135, as a 4th board. She's got a Rossi Race 149, like new, gathering dust. It has a 19 cm waist, ~ 9M sidecut, slightly larger freerideish nose. Let me know if you're interested.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Bill , I am guessing it was a race board in it's day. Probably not stiff by todays standards. It is very unlikely it was "Race Stock" if it is brand new at a store. Flex it and get a feel for it ? If your daughter has small feet the key will be , "Is it narrow enough?" and "Does it have a smallish scr 7-9 meters max??) It is important that she can keep the speed in check and not destroy her confidence. Time and time I see this occur. Lighter gals boards (at least at first) should be short, soft and no wider than thier stance angle / boot size would dictate. There are quite a few fathers/ husbands that have gone through this on BOL. I would expect they will be happy to share what they have learned? Good luck.
