I'm not sure of the year or the side cut radius. Does anyone have this info?

[Chris Houghton]

Sidecut's 10.18 M Waist 18.2cm. stance setback 2cm. I'm guessing this board is from the 1998-1999 production year.

Anyone know if this is meant as a slalom board or a GS? I need a short GS board for a 110lb rider.

At a 10.2 scr that seems kinda SL-ish.

[Chris Houghton]

Not much control at even medium speeds, let alone faster velocities due to the sidecut. This is very much SL-ish.

[skategoat]

Thanks guys but can you tell if a board is SL just by radius? Isn't the sidecut radius proportional to board length?

So a 10.2 doesn't seem that short if you consider the board length of only 162cm.

In general the sidecut and length are mutually exclusive until you get into the whole decambering/stiffness/angle of tilt/sidecut depth... on and on and on...
It's a very general assumption, but it can be said that sl boards have tight scrs and gs boards have broad scrs. See link above for the discussion.

"'00 was the last season that you could buy a Sims Burner in the US, but it was continued for a few years later in Japan, then the model was manufactured under the Hasco brand until '03."
