bigwavedave Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Coiler Nirvana balance 174 SOLD! going home to Canada. Built for me (~185lbs) in March 2013. Ptex top scr 12-14 20cm waist. Likely ideal rider wt range~160-215lbs condition 9-9.5/10 No dings or scratches, like new, can barely see where bindings were mounted (td3's). Base never ground (no scratches or base-suck), edges maintained with diamond polishing stone at .5 degree base bevel, and 2 degree side bevel. Love this board, but wanted something with a little smaller scr and more of a single-side-cut ride. Could only justify the extravagance of a new custom board by selling this and my SG163. Getting a board that combines the best of both boards. Edited January 13, 2015 by bigwavedave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allee Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Dammit. ... I like my boards stiff, but I'm well out of the weight range for this one "pout". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Can I assume you're not interested in any sorts of trades at all? Well, I am trying to pay for a new board by selling a couple of my nicer boards, but what have you got in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Dammit. ... I like my boards stiff, but I'm well out of the weight range for this one "pout". I am guessing at the ideal wt range, so for those who know how to interpret Bruce's coded specs, maybe they give a hint at the stiffness...

big canuck Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Wanna trade for my 176 Kessler the ride?? Even if you didn't want to keep it Id like to think you'd get 650 usd all day long for it Lemme know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's a nice offer, but I think I'll pass. I only ride hard boots and that's wider than I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big canuck Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ouch.... I don't see anything that's going to make this work as a trade... I either have stuff that's older and only a guy like me would want or the super new that I want to keep... I'm still interested, Just seeing which clinic will give top dollar for my spare kidney, stand by. KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yea, I was thinking that's gotta be some quiver. My new board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Kurt, have you ridden a Nirvana before? Mine's not for sale but you could give it a spin in a couple of weeks. It's a little different than his, 180 and 21 waist, built for 185 though. May be too soft for you.

big canuck Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I have not ridden one Neil, they sound super intriguing to me, and its a Coiler!! I like the length, waist width would work fine, SCR seems right up my alley etc... I generally get my boards built for a 200 lb'r and have always liked how easy they turn. If I end up with this board and it doesn't speak to me I figure I can always turn around and sell it. Its not in my possession yet though.... Thanks for the offer to try yours, reading your comments on it makes me think you're pretty happy with it... We'll see where it goes. See you in a couple weeks. PS BWD, I like the Safari top sheet!!!!. I had the multicolor 185 version back in the day. I betcha the SCR on that thing was about 50 m.

bigwavedave Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I think Bruce said the Nirvana was kind of an amalgamation of the best features of several of his boards, starting with the all-mountain, to produce a carving board that handles a wide variety of conditions well. Another step in the evolution of his ultimate carver. The Balance is an easy, smooth, fun ride. Seemed ideally suited to the soft, packed powder conditions we had at SES in Aspen, yet as good as most race boards on ice!

wjholm Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 This is the board I've been lusting for........ My Stubby has been my go-to ride. Do you have any interest in a Jasey-Jay Cypress in similar condition? I haven't been able to make the plate work for me. I'm not far from you. I may be able to meet for a test ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Sorry, I'm not interested in another race board right now, I'm really happy with my new REV, and I have 2 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
