Donek Wide too "fast" a board for me?
In article ,
says...
Wow, thanks a lot all three of you for your great replies. They were
very informative and helpful.
I have been strengthening my shoulders a lot. In my crash my right
arm got pinned behind me and I rolled over it hard, pulling it out of
its socket. It made a "snap" like I broke my arm (I thought that's
what had happened--it would have been a much better result). I doubt
I could stop that again no matter how strong my shoulder was, but I
have the definite impression that the stronger shoulders make me less
subceptible to it coming out in other types of falls.
My Supermodel has Flow FL-11 bindings that I just put on last year and
I love them. I will keep them no matter what. Hopefully they are not
too flexy for the Donek, and the Donek won't take *too* much effort to
turn slowly if I use good technique.
I will let you know if I go for the Donek!

Don't forget that Donek allows you to ride the board for 30 days and
will take it back if you don't like it. I have a Supermodel 68, a
Motion 62 and I'm wating for my Donek Incline 160 to arrive. Donek is a
great company to deal with. Their boards are made to order, so don't
wait too long to decide!
Good Luck!
