Any one ever ridden a Checker Pig g6? Is it similar to today's swoard or Donek Blade? Or is it super stiff? I was thinking of buying one on ebay to ride early season if it is similar to the above 2 boards. I know i would have to t nut it as it has no inserts. Where can I buy t nuts with ptex on the bottom of them? I am assuming it is wide waisted like a Donek blade. Anyone know specs?

Here's some specs:

It doesn't say the waist width, but it might be about 21cm...

I suspect that titanal is refering only to the drilling plate for binding mounting.

I'm not sure about the inserts, but I know you can get ptex patches at www.tognar.com.

This board is obsolete. It is about 15 years old or more. You can do a lot better. Anyone who recommends this board now only does so because they owned one once and feel nostalgic about it.

and it was the first "production" split offered by Voile! And I've got a picture somewhere to prove it.

Interesting did a search on google.de and found this http://www.checker-pig.com/checker-pig-history.html
I know they were an Austrian company, looks like they are making bikes now
