barryj Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I made the cut! Bruce says I'm #35 in the queue for a December delivery of a Angrry 160x 20w x 9scr + UPM + 1/2 edges with a Hammerhead noise and square tail. Now that should be a turny little bandit!

ShakeNBake Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I just got an email that my Donek Freecarve Special Construction is in production and should be headed my way soon. It is still snowing on Mt Hood, so it looks like I will get to try out the new board soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1 degree base and 2 degree edge angles. If you don't detune the nose you get really snappy response, especially with the board hooking up!

It seems Donek, Kessler, Oxess, Coiler all have their own specific edge specs they ship their boards from the "factory"....and there all different.

Most vendors boards get a belt grind and in some cases see a stone most ship at 90. I think Bruce brings them to a tune shop, Kessler, no idea, Donek not sure but both of mine had decent tunes. Winterstick does a really nice tune 1 and 2 I think, really nice stone grind, even take the time to de tune for you… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Last time in the shop Bruce had two machines stone and belt. One had a printed circuit board the other has an on off switch. Guess which one works every time you turn it on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie00 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) I'm in the Queue for next year as well. It's not hardboots but it carves amazing. I started talking to Dave last year and he build me a board for this past season. I've been on Coiler for 15+ years. I felt like I needed something different and needed a new best friend as Bruce is slowly building less and less boards. David Vaughan is a retired SBX and Alpine member from Team Canada. After a few phone calls and many e-mail we found what could work best for me. Starting over with someone else isn't easy. Bruce knew exactly the flex I liked and everything so it made ordering a board super easy. So I wasn't expecting the first board to be exactly dialed in to my specific taste and was fine with the process. So he build me this monster a 163.5 the model is called the Vault 27 waist, custom flex and maple sidewalls. You can buy it off the rack or he can customize it. https://vaughansnowboards.com/ He builds the boards in New Brunswick Canada but lives in the witner in Lake Tahoe area, he has stocks on both sides. He told me the board would take a few days to get used to it. Took me a few days to get used to it but this board is amazing. Certified badass carver on the icecoast. So I ordered another one for next year. Shorter 159, 27.5 wide, different core and a little more manuverable than the Vault in thight spots. Can't wait.

ShortcutToMoncton Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Interesting. Great looking board. I’ve seen them before and was looking at the Vault, BX and even the 160 asym with almost 28cm waist (!) a little while ago, but the sidecuts sort of threw me off—10m is the largest on the BX and most boards are 9 or less. My old 164 Rad Air is 10.5 and that feels around the minimum for fast softy carving with a wider waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
