breeseomatic Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Pleased to be able to contribute in this section of the forum with this morning's arrival: Donek Proteus 170. Freshly tuned and mounted in preparation for rope-drop at the Beav tomorrow morning. I had that exact same board. The topsheet graphic is awesome. It rode like a dream in the right conditions. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crote123 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Looks like some kind of dovetail joint. Crazy thin. Here's some more pictures. No, just plain sliders. The plate attaches to the thick slider which itself is attached to the thin slider. There's a "rail" that allows the thick slider to move along the thin slider. Notice that the thin slider is thicker on one end (towards the nose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarfy Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 fichu belle planche ! je pense à switcher à une SL aussi, dans des conditions tel que cette saison (pas assez de piste et trop de monde dans les pistes), la GS est loin d'être l'idéal...

Neil Gendzwill Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Here's the new baby. This is a Coiler VSR AM 165 with the nose stretched a bit to make it 167. It's the XT sidecut (9/11/10), 22 cm waist, 16 mm taper. The nose has what Bruce terms the AM decamber but the tail has a race decamber and has been softened. This board is designed for steep bumps and tight conditions. The tail design (taper, decamber, softened, rounded corners) should help it release easier, skid when I need it to and not get hung up in the bumps. Bruce claims it still carves well (he test-drove it in the rough). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Interesting combination Neil. So specialized. Isn't it great to have builders that can produce such killer gear!! I bet Bruce was anxious to see what it could do too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't think it's all that specialized. It's a variant on one of Bruce's popular designs. He's done the stretch to 167 before, not sure about the softer tail with race decamber. Those were both his ideas, I just said I wanted a short board whose primary purpose was to slay bumps.
