Jarcode Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Picked up a pristine WCRM for a bargain locally, this one at 174cm (compared to my beloved 177cm WCRM on the right). Sidecut seems to be 11m. Interested to see if it rides considerably differently than the 177cm 2022 model @ 13m radius. I picked this up primarily for the bindings, but these boards are incredible freecarving sticks. Not sure if I'm holding onto it or not.@BlueB if I recall correctly, this is the exact size of the WCRM you rode to death (minus the metal topsheet)!

slopestar Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Picked up this early revision 163 B1 from Senna Leith. Kicked the tires with him as he had several for sale and brought it home for others to ride… may not keep it but was too reasonable to pass up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that one before. If it's a WCR (before metal) it would be 11m. If it's a WCRM it's 12m. Only the metaltop WCRMs, like mine, were 11m.

The design is identical to my 177, aside from topsheet construction differences. I'm debating on whether to keep the board or not. It might be nice to have a backup since I love my 177 so much.

Been bought by another group not too long ago but still radio silence from them. . Hard to get in touch with them, they owe me a board for more than a year and know a few peoples that are in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm jealous And I thought I would get negative comments about the graphics or lack thereof which maybe this is. I will go on the record and state that I couldn’t care less about the topsheet graphics on a board. It’s meaningless to me. If I want a personalized or custom look I’ll use off the shelf or custom made stickers. I am so stoked to take this puppy for a ride and I appreciate what someone posted about a front foot of 45° as being important for heelside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are benefits to choosing a normal size, mostly around questions in the lift line. I chose a 171 Tanker for this reason, might as well be a GS board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is hard to percieve length when you're looking at someone's board in the liftline unless you are paying close attention? I mostly get comments on the shape/width of my softboot boards. And of course, there's an entire thread for comments about alpine boards On 9/14/2022 at 4:49 PM, svr2 said: my two rides for the 2022-23 season: Custom Winterstick Tom Burt 183 with book matched elm topsheet, cherry wood logos, and maple wood sidewalls. As well as a 30th Anniversary Edition Tanker 181. Two beautiful boards! The effective edge lengths look pretty moderate, despite the overal lenghts. I'll be on a new Stranda Cheater 170w this season, which will be my longest softboot board ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
