ZenBoardn Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 I'm looking for a GS board for East Coast/ New England GS racecourses. My weight, 225lbs height 6'3", my current quiver, a prior swallow tail 183, still stiff after 20 years, a Kessler 185 - I'm just not crazy about how slow it transitions between gates, a 20 year old 178 ultra prime, this has worked the best on these courses. A Volkyl ren tiger 173 and a prior wcr 169 both used on SL's I've tried Vist plates and they just add too much weight. I'm currently using F2 step ins. Oh if it matters my boot size is 30.5 so a wider board would work. Can anybody help me out on this One? Thanks, race camp starts in the first week of December.

ZenBoardn Posted October 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Thanks, found my 180 Jazzy Jay w/plate. Ready for the Ice Coast GS at Killington, Pico ski bum series and Mid Atlantic Masters series. Wohoo bring on the snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Cool. If it doesn't work out I will be listing a custom Kessler 180, 21cm waist, 15m equivalent radius, with some hook to finish the turn unlike a GS board. I've used it with success in beer league. Phenomenal board, I just got a Winterstick Squaretail 185 late last season that I like a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBoardn Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Thanks Jack, but I haven't been happy with my Kessler 185, so I'll pass on the 180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 This board rides nothing like the stock 185 which I also have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBoardn Posted October 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 OK you've got me curious, because I'm a Killington ski Bum/beer leaguer send me a pic and price out of curiousity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhamann Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) @ZenBoardn first time i saw him riding it, i thought he was on a k68. it's custom and should be priced like the housing market. just kidding. honest community around here. maybe i'll bump into you at K. might be doing a few days there this year if i can work out my lodging deal.

Jack M Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I have $1800 into it and I used it part time for 2 seasons along with 3 other boards. I would need to get $1000 for it plus shipping. I won't be able too take pics until I get back up to the mountain in the coming weeks. Thanksgiving at the latest. Here's a pic of it in action at MCC. Cannot believe I'm selling it as it was my favorite board ever. You'd appreciate the 21cm waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBoardn Posted October 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Sorry Jack, too rich for my blood, I'm just a beer league snowboard bum. Good luck with it, I'm sure it will find a good home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLN Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hey, random thought: I got Coiler ECVC, that's close to what you're looking for: 180cm long, 21cm wide. Was made to resemble GS boards, but 5cm, shorter and 1cm wider, with smaller 14-18m radius built for 210-230lb rider. Extra inserts for 4x4 plates (on the outside). Black ptex top. It's fun board for allmountain or euro or for USASA racing that I've done. I'm riding very narrow and crazy boards now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple demos in the rack at winterstick, come try one we are at sugarloaf….. @Jack M has a few to his specs if you don’t want to mess around with an allflex his shape might be the way to go, the caveat is you’d have to have us build one unless you can get jack to sell…. “Winterstick has your back with 25% off proform deals. Pipe, Slope, Boarder Cross, All Mountain Freestyle, Powder — our boards are built to take you where you want to go. *Ready to ride and get your discount? Just email us a copy of a valid USASA membership and we will get you dialed in.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
