Bobby Buggs Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I did not get to use my 07 this season :( and was thinking about taking it out maybe this weekend for 55 degree spring goo. Any thoughts about it in this situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey Bobby, Yes, ride the 4807 this weekend. It will do fine in slush...wax it up for wet spring conditions if that is what you expect. I usually go with all temp wax anyway. Be careful about watching your backside in the lift lines, people will being looking at your beautiful board and might run all over the tail. Ride it hard and tell us about it on Monday Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatha Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Give us a report-I may just have to find room for mine(the 168) in my sport-tube for my Park City trip 4/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Its got a boat nose. Slush is like water. Should work. Be careful not to fold the nose if its really soft. It won't launch you like a race board will, but it'd still be a good flip with a wet landing. Be gentle until you know the limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Oh, it will work WAY better if it has one of these stickers on it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabooooooooooooooom! be careful on the soft stuff, don't get too far forward I have found that the spring is the easiest time to explode a board as well just put a beating on it in flex department without actually folding the nose due to the heavy soft bumps everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would if I wasn't going to embarrass myself.....maybe next year... my crippled hubby also probably wouldn't be too cool with my saying "see you back at the lodge, hun...I'm shredding with the homes..."

Guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I would not recommend using this board on anything but fresh pow. Too soft, too unpredictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I would not recommend using this board on anything but fresh pow. Too soft, too unpredictable. +1. I enjoy my 4807 very much in powder especially tree powder, but once the temp starts to get into the 30's it's so-so and I can't imagine liking it at all in slush. My not-so-secret slush weapon, the Coiler AM 182 Slushbuster that I won't shut up about, is the polar opposite of a 4807 - nice stiff nose and tail, softer midsection, bigger sidecut radius. It rides best in any conditions with my weight planted right between the bindings - no fore/aft movement at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 My AM is a 19 waist, Im thinking of breaking out the old Rossi slayer 20cm or the Spike, even wider but stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 My AM is a 19 waist, Im thinking of breaking out the old Rossi slayer 20cm or the Spike, even wider but stiff. Slushbuster is 19.5... I find that a little bit of "underhang" helps in slush but that I don't want all that much. I ride it at the same mid-50's angles as I roide my alpine decks, size 25 MP boots.
