You have pics ? What year is this board ?
I see France in your profile. What about shipping there ?

[scottishboardracer]

Shipping to most of Europe would be about 50 Euro. Will post some pictures tomorrow.

Photos. As you can see top sheet has the usual binding marks and lift line scratches. Base is good with just very light scratches and needs a bit of wax.

really?

that's actually quite reasonable. are you sure of this, with the length and all? I mean no offense but I think you are mistaken. Obviously there's a difference between going from the US to the UK or EU, but...I'd be really surprised to see it only $100 to ship a 198 from Scotland to the US!

Best of luck with that!

Yeah if you call the courier ie UPS, DHL direct they will want twice that for a single shipment but we have a couple of good web companys in the UK that let you book through them for a small fee to access the business account rate with the couriers which are significantly different. Would be surprised if there is not something similar in the US.

"After Sale" personal board review/ comments for the Rossignol Undertaker 198cm.


This is a sweet "POWDER ROCKET". Narrower than most swallowtails so it works really well for steeper hardboot angles and smaller freestyle feet at lower angles. More Rocker than most (or at least soft, so it "decambers" quickly under weight). This combo makes it a go fast pow board that is still surprisingly versatile. Huge radius nose keeps it up. Under a heavier rider the turn radius becomes surprisingly short when pressured on the soft groomer. Shame they quit making this length. It is a unique pleasure to ride. The new owner will be happy, just remember to let er rip!!

Mike, I heard the board arrived quickly and well packed to its summer vacation camp in France. Thanks.

Longing for checking it out in a few weeks and thinking about where to try it out first in a few more months... La Grave, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece... decisions, decisions.

Thanks Bryan for your review, I actually didn't know about the versatility, but read about its abilities as a pow gun, which was what I was looking for in the first place. It's going to be my longest board ever, so that's comforting to know that I may push it for speed on groomers.

I'll report more later, but just wanted to vouch for Scottishboardracer and the shipping method he used (see posts above). I didn't look deeply into it, but it seems that this kind of business seriously raises the possibilities for transatlantic sales or trade on the forum.

Agreed. Works well for a pow gun on soft groomers, but it is NOT anywhere near an alpine board for speed on groomers. Don't taco it on your first groomer run if you are a big boy that pushes hard. Although Abel killed on his everywhere. But then again he just kills period.
