Lurch Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Flux 182 built for "the high end" of 180-220 lbs.11-13 VSR. Waist 26, nose 320, tail 308. E/Edge 158. Non-metal construction, but still plenty stiff. Top sheet 9.5/10. Base 8.5 (two nicks per photos). Never ground. PM me for more pix. Got this beast off another member in as new condition. I've put 7 days on it, but it's too stiff for me in softies (at 215 lbs). I ran it on P/plates to help muscle it around. Think it would take 250 easy. $400 shipped lower 48.

moose Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Oh goodness Lurch. So tempting! My first thought was 'totally!' but I think I'll have to pass on the grounds of actually starting to narrow down the board quiver, which is what I was originally hoping to do. This is just a few of where I'm at right now... I want to eventually narrow down to the Proteus, one softie all-arounder (thinking 165-167 and 28-29 waist with a medium-ish flex), and the split. The powder hound was just the first to go (aside from that other Incline I let go a few weeks ago). My guess is the Nomad may be of a similar stiffness to this Flux... I wonder if we'd both still find them to be 'charger' boards. Anyway, if you're interested in buying without a trade let me know, otherwise there was another PM'er after your post - just keep me updated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 All good @moose, makes perfect sense. Seems a shame to break up that quiver, but we all got to pay the reaper at some stage. I will need to unload first before I go again, so no probs with you unloading the Nomad. For me on softies, I think the Flux would be much more manageable in a 170 (or with a softer flex at 182), and may well have been what I was looking for, although I read @Mathew + @piusthedrcarve review on the Flux and it sounds like some of the same traits are evident in this big boy, maybe on a larger scale. Appreciate the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 It definitely sounds like an awesome ride, I hope someone who wants to absolutely tear up some carves takes it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just throwing it out there....... thoughts of something you may want trade for? lemme know k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hey Kurt hope you are doin' OK. I picked this up hoping it might have enough displacement to handle some pow while still being a decent SB carver. Offered to trade for a Nomad, so I guess anything along those lines might be interesting. You got anything hiding behind all those tasty Oxess?

JRAZZ Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Must... Resist.... Urge.... Too bad I lost weight! Sweet ride. Was that SVR's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hey @erazz this was indeed @svr's. Came to me in pristine condition. PM me if you want more pix or info. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAZZ Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yeah, I remember when that board was on here at first. Unfortunately I am financially challenged in terms of snowboard acquisition at the moment (read bosslady says no). I do hope someone picks it up, not just because it's awesome but it would also remove the temptation! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workshop7 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Lurch, Are you sure this board is a non-metal construction. Every Flux I have seen has been metal. Also, in SVR’s original post, he states how damp the board is (a trait usually associated with a metal board). Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) @workshop7 I can only go on what svr told me and have no reason to doubt him, he's a stand up guy. It is very damp, but apparently due to extra rubber foil, not metal. It's torsionally very stiff, so much so that I wonder if Sean didn't use some of his 'secret' construction methods on it (my NFC is a little more lively & less damp, but it's 22 wide not 26). Pretty sure @Sasquatch_Surfer has a non metal Flux too. Guess you could Sean a call to get the lowdown.
