See this is what I don't get...if it's not custom for your weight why would you buy that one rather han one of these: http://www.catek.com/Kessler-snowboards.htm

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused:

Edit - my question has been answered. the catek boards are for a generic middleweight, and this seller (as I understand it) custom boards to several weights.

I think a lot of of people don't know that Catek is carrying Kesslers. This is the first time you can buy them states side.

From the eBay add:
The only question is how many kg or lbs YOU are! 75/80/85/90 .kg ?This might suggest that the seller has multiple boards and will send the one that is weight matched for the rider.;)

I think that seller is someone from here. Good point, Tex.

Wouldn't Catek have multiple boards, too?

At some point in the last few weeks, I got the impression that seller works at All Board Sports. Is that not so? He's selling a ton of high-end, moderately to very exotic boards.

edit: oh yeah, must have been this picture that made me think that: http://i12.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/d1/e1/f710_12.JPG

I suppose this is the wrong forum for this question but can anyone explain the KST sidecut radius on this beast? How can it be dynamic?

Kessler is kind of quiet about their technologies.

It is kind of a composite SCR, larger diameter SC near the center with smaller radius near the ends, but it also has some larger radius at the tip. Hard to explain, I'll try to find a picture.

Here is what they did for Palmer, they have refined it even more now.....

The seller of the Kessler is not Bola.

KST technology is something that not even the best in the industry can match or understand. We tore one apart this weekend to repair it, and there are things that are not in normal boards.

If a Kessler is right for you, you don't even need to ask what makes them different or what's behind the science.

Bola has been selling Kesslers (state side) long before Catek even knew what a Kessler was.

Um...guys...why is everyone acting like this is shady? Ever consider that other people work at All Board Sports? Maybe that other person doesn't post here? Maybe Bola hasn't seen this thread? The seller has excellent feedback and seems to be completely on the up and up. Why look for something that doesn't exist?
