MNSurfer Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 After several seasons on the shelf, I dusted off my old Axxess (Ax?) 167, and I was utterly shocked at just how fun this board is to ride. I've been riding all metal boards as of late, which are great and have their own strengths. But none of them have the POP that this board has. Maybe it's the fiberglass, or the ridiculous amount of camber? I don't know, but I've been kicking myself for not riding it more often. This (Axxess 167) was one of my first boards, and I've since shifted to all 175 length. At 6'2", I find that (175) suits me and my ability. I'd love to find something like the Axxess, in a longer length than I currently have. Is the Donek Freecarve similar? Does anyone have first-hand experience/comparisons? Thanks, y'all!

J0hn Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 I rode a stock 172 axxess for years and loved it. Currently riding a semi-custom version of the axxess after a conversation with Sean Martin at Donek. Even though the axxess is no longer listed on the Donek website, I imagine they can build whatever you want after a design consultation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Am I remembering correctly that the build and specs of the Donek Axxess was similar to Prior's 4WD? Prior still sells their 4WD model. They have a 164 tri-glass on sale presently, if anyone is looking for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNSurfer Posted May 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 The Prior is a pretty sweet looking option. And the specs do look mostly apples/apples. I'll hit-up Sean (like to support the locals), but this is a great backup! Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
