Help deciding on a board

[Chris]

not entirely sure on that front prj. Myles might have the board info, serial number, etc, that the folks could use as reference.

if you desperate to know email him...

[prjwebb]

Nah not desperate Chris. Hopefully only a week or so to wait now anyway. Once I get hold of it if I'm not sure about the Nanotech stuff I'll shoot you a message with the serial but I'm sure I'll be able to tell just by dripping some water on it?

[Chris]

yeah or a sticker. I think yours may have shipped right before the treatment began, but we'll find out when the stuff is headed to retail and we can get it out to you that way!!

[prjwebb]

ah of course, the sticker. that makes sense :0)

cheers, that'd work well actually as i'd get a before and after for comparison!

[Chris]

true.

[prjwebb]

have you tried a board with it yet? do you think it's a huge difference of just something extremely subtle that the top, top guys are going to be able to feel the improvement with?

[Chris]

probably both. you will for sure feel a difference. its a proven concept, think wax and skis. wax is designed to repel the snow, but in warmer conditions, ski wax is designed to repel snow that undergoes pressure melting while you ski. similar idea. as long as its applied properly, you should feel a difference.

[prjwebb]

That's a great way of explaining it actually Chris. Makes sense! Cheers :0)

i don't think the 606 is a bad call. is his surgery being done arthroscopically? if his recovery time isn't going to lay him up for a while then the 604 could be good. If he has a while where he has to be mellow, then go 606 all the way. I am off the opinion that extra volume at the outset leads to faster development. Faster development is GOOD and you can always sell and downsize....

my thoughts...

the drs dont think it should keep him down for too long maybe a month.. they're going through his groin which is nuts.. i know him and he wouldn't sell and downsize.. he's had his current board for like 8 years! this is with me constantly telling him its no good for him.. so this is why i'm thinking 6'4 esp. if he winds up weighing in the 190 195 range.. man i thought finding a board for myself was hard.....

[Chris]

yeah seems like good advice.
my friend had a similar procedure, so yeah not much surgery recovery...got aggressive then!
