Just add wax. Beefy ptex topsheet, not the stock textured topsheet. Build quality is tops. (Don't know/can't tell if the stock topsheet is ptex, it looks like Thirst's) Thanks Jack! Do you recalled if stock Apline Kessler 168 is RTR(ready to ride/run and angles)? Sounds like custom have few extra niceties compared to the stock... will be on the looked out for such unicorn in the wild/classified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Finished new board, really happy with the result (apart from the cosmetic flaw on the topsheet at one of the inserts) 182, 170cm effective edge, 20.5 cm width, 15m radius. Titanal / biax carbon laminate, maple core. Now I just have to finish the plate with hardware to be able to ride it.

I'm not sure how one would recreate or measure 0.7, but that is what he said his stock boards come at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 And with plate. The plate has 'rocker' because I ride with both bindings flat and I do not want to adjust it for the board not bending, so I pre-bent the plate. Hinges in front, slider at the back.

TimW Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 4 hours ago, Jack M said: isn't that backwards? Not to me. With the front sliding, drag on the nose (e.g. digging a trench, hitting a bump) when the board is bent will increase the bending moment in the center section, increasing board deflection. With the slider at the back that effect is not present. Cannot see a benefit of the slider at the front to be honest. With a board with a stiff middle section the effect will be minimal. For this board it would be bigger. The sliding and non sliding hinges are completely interchageable, so I can just try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I've ridden hinge front, slider rear, for a long time. The plate allows the board to flex freely underneath, that is its' reason for being there. Hinge under the front foot gives you the most solid feeling under that foot.

Also realized a 20 year old board was, well, 20 years old. Agonized over what to buy, looked for used "new" boards, but finally gave in and ordered a Prior 4WD 169 XCE Carbon. Hopefully the body holds up . . . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put one under your front toe and one under your rear heel. Don't use the inward cant shims unless you absolutely have to. Hope you have a great season, let us know how it goes. That Ginsu was ahead of its time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwavedave Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Apparently this was out of the batch going to MCC. I managed to slip it out the back of a UPS truck as it was passing through Duluth. Inspired by Shred's "new, improved Monster". 185 Contra All Terrain (for powder surfing, soft snow carving, spring slush slashing), when a carving stick is too stiff & narrow. 23 waist, 29.5 Nose, 28.3 Tail 11m scr with the Thirst inspired Contra sidecut geometry Bruce said it was "stupid easy" to ride, so I said, "sounds like my kind of board". Got to ride it for a couple of days inda U.P. in soft-ish conditions. Not so soft that a carving stick wouldn't have been fine, but I got a feel for it in 4-6" of pow and on some soft groom with baby pow (1-2"). Turns out it's also stupid fun to ride and pretty smooth once the soft stuff gets chopped up. Plus, it's nice to ride with more relaxed binding angles for a change. Nice to use different muscles with more heel/toe action. 50° front and 45° rear and very slight inward cant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
