RDY_2_Carve Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Purty! Gotta get my hands on one of them sometime! Any chance there will demo's of Rad's stuff at SES? Love to try a 2m tanker and one of these shorter LSD's if possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Sale Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Also, here's a link to a much bigger, professional studio picture: http://www.norskdesign.no/gfx/Large/radair.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinsmiley Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I`m riding one of those black beauties at the moment. I think it`s a 01/02 model. Possibly 02/03. I`d love to know which insert holes your using to mount your bindings on the LSD? I`ve tried all of em and can`t decide between the front or middle setting. The middle set of inserts is the factory sweet spot and it`s a whooping 4cm of set back, which seems huge to me on a 164cm board. Also, for those of you that have quivers, how does your Reto hold up compared to other more Freecarve or Race orientated boards. PS......I`ve just joined the Tanker 200 club too! Hooray:biggthump.

Yard Sale Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I use the middle (reference) inserts with both Flow and Bomber bindings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinsmiley Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 more questions.... What sort of Flow bindings do you use? I`m still undecided wheather or not to get Catek freerides and the top of the line Flows` are the next on my list of possible good choices. (with Malamuts) Do you also use a 90 degree edge tune all the way round? Being new to all this, I have no really understanding of what different degrees of edge tune do to the feel of the board.

Chris Houghton Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 That aluminum looks like teeth - never seen that on a board. Someone buy this thing before I have to, never seen one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinsmiley Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hey shred- Have you been for your test drive on the Reto LSD yet? Tell us all about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Sale Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 My black LSD doesn't have the teeth-like nose. It's got an aluminum protector with a design in the base, just a different design. I use last year's Flow Pro C-FR. Carbon fiber heel piece, strong highback, and stiff tongue. Their Pro XFR has an even stiffer tongue. I was skeptical at first but after a few days they broke in such that stepping in is easy. I haven't touched the edges yet. I don't know what the factory angles are. Maybe RJ can help with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinsmiley Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yard sale- maybe you can tell me about the ride. I would just like to hear from some carvers what they think of the ride of the LSD in comparision to other dedicated carving boards. It`s all I have as a reference point.:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
