kram Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Today I road a tesi8. 183 cm long 18.5 waist. Miller told me it was similar to an 8RW but it’s got metal in it. Today’s conditions were really firm in the morning and super soft on the front side at noon. The board worked in it all. What I really noticed about this board is how well I could turn it uphill to control speed and then turn it right back downhill to gain it back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 @kram that Tesi still got the lively feel under foot typical of other Thirsts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnasmo Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Metal at last, metal at last, TGA metal at last. Trading some lively for a bit of peace and quite is reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I like the lively - sets them apart from the rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the whole quiet, lively, damp lingo I’m not sure I understand fully. I use the word stable to describe the Thirst boards, they can handle some variable conditions like an unexpected icy spot or a chunk of bad grooming. This board did everything I wanted it to do. I got my order in. I’m getting one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Ooh sweet mercy -- I'm hearing construction is quite different to established metal boards too Edited April 3, 2021 by Lurch Another inovation from the Bayview phantomworks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Genuinely curious as to why the metal? Pressure from the community that thinks they can spec a better board? My 8rw already grips better than any of my metal boards and the noise it makes is awesome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
