1xsculler Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Bruce built it for me last summer. Basically like new, i.e. I have ridden it twice for an hour each time. Never ground, never waxed except by Bruce. My wife found out how many boards I have and she suggested that I reduce my quiver. Nose = 26.6, Waist = 21, Tail = 25.8. I am 6' 2" tall and weigh 150 #s in my B-day suit, i.e. not much muscle, not much fat. $550 plus shipping.

The next technical article should be something like, "the minimum number of boards in a quiver beyond which one's spouse won't notice another." Sounds like you could be primary author?

barryj Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wow! Sculler you went all in with the purchase of a Euro Carve board! Cool Topsheet!! What weight did Bruce build it for? Did you find it too stiff?...really wore on your thighs after a hour?? What's the waist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not to jack your thread Sculler, but people looking at this board might be in the know..............how's the Pop on this board as compared to Sean's Proteus or a Swoard Extreme Carver?? Probably to narrow for me anyway !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012Alpine1 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I will take it pending weight range Pm'd you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 My Coiler EC 175 is my go-to board now. It needs a bit of speed or steepness, but the variety of turn shapes it can make continues to impress me. It has a nice pop if you use push-pull technique, or it can be super damp if you're more static. It just works on everything except the bunny hill. I'd buy another in a heartbeat if I broke this one. I'm guessing that's a 23cm waist. Looks wider than the 22 waist on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) It looks like you can have about a 66" stance width!...the splits! Sweet graphic. Edited January 10, 2018 by rjnakata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Corey that's quite the testimony! 23 waist is my aphrodisiac !! Sculler I'll take it if weight range doesn't work for Alpine1 and works for me........Pm'd ya Edited January 10, 2018 by barryj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1xsculler Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I've edited the ad to answer questions. 2012Alpine1 is the first responder, barryj the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'll pass..it's to narrow and I'm 75lbs. too fat for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1xsculler Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I'm rethinking this now that barryj and 2012Alpine1 have passed and after reading Corey's glowing remarks.. I will look for something else to sell or just let the dust settle until my wife gets over this or until she buys another trinket. Sorry to any interested parties but I will hold on to it for now. Maybe I'll find some wide open groomers at White Pass or Whistler as I haven't found any at Crystal. I rounded out my quiver with this EC thinking I may be able to break away to ATC 2018, and I may still, but it's not looking good. I'll get more bang for my buck if I trim my racing shell quiver than my board quiver anyway. She'll be more happy to know I'm working on that.

Corey Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Haha, I guess I'm a poor judge of waist width. But, after all, it's what's inside that counts. :) Hang on to that board and give it another shot once you have some experience. It'll come alive once you are more of a driver and less of a passenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Corey - this Interesting thread brings up this question - How would you compare the Swoard Extreme Carver 175 to Bruce's EC 175 ?? ...and how did you finally decide on Bruce's model?? Curious Minds Want To Know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I got your PM but will reply here. I rode a Swoard a long time ago. My skill set at that time didn't match with the board (a nice way to say that I sucked), so I didn't like it. I haven't tried another since, so I can't make a comparison. I rode a Coiler EC demo at SES/ATC and fell in love in one run. Bruce said it's based on the Nirvana flex pattern that so many love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Sorry for highjacking your thread Sculler and thanks for that info Corey .................. I'm burning with desire for another 23 waist board and the choices are killing me, Stubby V2 or Coiler EC or Proteus or another Swoard........uh the agony of decision! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
