Cap vs. non-Cap board construction ?
Hmm... more Neversummer vs Donek questions. Would you say that
Neversummer's line up is more freestyle oriented? For instance how you compare your Donek Incline vs NS Premier in terms of the intended riding style (like what type of riding intended the board is designed for). To tell you the truth, I know nothing about their individual models. This comes down to sidecut radius, flex pattern and how directional the board is. I haven't flexed one of their boards in a long time and I don't know anything about it's shape. Sorry. -- Sean Martin Donek Snowboards Inc. http://www.donek.com/ phone:877-53-DONEK |

I haven't flexed one of their boards in a long time and I don't know anything about it's shape. Sorry. I totally understand. What about their general design emphasis. Like Neversummer seems to place a great emphasis on board durability, but their boards are mentioned as being a little heavy overall. Would you be able to compare that to the design aims of your boards. I've read everything on your website already - just wondering if you had anything to add on top of that. |

everything on your website already - just wondering if you had anything to add on top of that. Arvin, it sounds to me like you've learned all you're going to learn without actually trying the boards out for yourself! -Mike T |

Cap vs. non-Cap board construction ?
Yea, I just don't know if I should be buying another snowboard
already. I mean at the start of last season I had 2 snowboards... a new and an old. Right now I have four - a park/pipe board, a freeride board (aka new), an alpine board and a rock board (aka old). Two of which I haven't ridden more than 2 days. Plus I have a feeling I'm not going to be getting the ~30 days a season I normally get - so who knows. I'm trying to sell my old Salomon 154, but am having trouble finding a buyer. I've actually put my new Salomon on the market to see if I can sell that instead and get the Incline. But it's gets harder and harder to justify all these off-season equipment changes. For me to get the Incline, I would really like to know if it's going to definitely be better than my Salomon Definition - whose main problem is its heaviness and its slow response, making it not the best powder board. --arvin "Mike T" wrote in message ...

Arvin,
I would say our boards are of average weight. Most people comment on them being light. I have had a few say they are heavy. Weight has never been something we're terribly concerned with. Durability and performance are always the driving forces behind design. We did wind up adding a couple of ounces to them this season in making the topsheet more durable. I think the NS has a bit more fiberglass than ours do which might contribute to the weight, but I can't be certain as Tim (owner of NS) and I normally discuss manufacturing issues as apposed to board design issues. I know they've moved to a PBT topsheet which is a bit heavier than our solution, but they may have made some changes inside the board to compensate for that. You might be better off talking directly with NS and trying to find an average weight for the board you want. If you let me know which board you're looking at from us, I'd be happy to weigh one for you.

If you'd read *my* post more carefully you would have noticed that I had actually quoted your bit where you state what it meant. By highlighting the differences in spelling, I was hoping for a definitive answer so I could perhaps correct the FAQ if it is incorrect. Sorry, I copy and pasted the name from a website. I didn't release, and I suspect most people didn't realize that there was a spelling difference (you didn't really point that out very well, or all for that matter). Because I didn't realize there was difference in spelling, I did jump to conclusions because all I noticed was you final line in your previous post "randomly" made some comment about correcting spelling and yet contained a spelling error as well. If Sean gives a definitite answer, I can add to that, and correct any spelling. ^ And hence my brash reply about "spelling." Unless of course that was you subtle way to "highlighting" the differences in spelling between "Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene" "Acrylonitrite Butadiene Styrene." |
