Burton Coil 165

Does anyone have the specs on this board? How do you like it? Can it do bumps, trees and powder reasonably well? How well does it hold an edge?

thanks,

Because of its softness, it's easy in bumps and trees, and that length will do powder OK if you are about 150 pounds or less. More than that and you'll need a little speed to stay afloat.

Since it's soft as far as alpine boards go, you won't be carving very agressively unless you weigh about 130 pounds or less.

As an all-around board, I like it. I'd like it better if it was stiffer, but then it would lose some of its tree and bump capability.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I may be a bit too large for the board (170lbs), but I'll give it a try this weekend =).

Do you (or anyone) have the specs for it?

thanks again,

Neil

hey Neil,

I weighed 180 when I was riding mine, it was OK. The waist was 21.5 cm, I don't know what the rest of the numbers are.

I think I'm starting to like that width, for awhile I was leaning toward the 18 to 19.5 width boards, but the 21+ (for my size 28 boots) gives me angles in the low 50's instead of the 60's, and the boards seem to be more fun all-around. Maybe those Swoard guys are onto something.
