I started riding back in '88, first full season was '89-'90. I was thinking about what I was going to do to celebrate my 20th year riding last season, maybe get a new board etc when I ran into Bruce on a seemingly innocent day.

Well... here it is.... 20 years later, a new VSR to celebrate. Got a friend to design the topsheet based on the 1st board I got for that '89-'90 season.

Easily the best board I've ridden as can be attested by other Bomber owners of VSR's (i'm told we owe a thanks to pokkis btw...). It rips. It rips tight, It rips long. It's stable. It's damp. It pops. The only faults I've found with it to date involve user error. And... it's wide enough for my violin case feet.:biggthump

VSR 177
21cm waist
"a bit tighter than medium" sidecut
bunch of taper.

Soooooo goood.

Nice! Looks familiar but I can't place the reference - what board are you replicating?

I did the same thing a couple years ago, I love it.

Awesome Graphic! That Kemper Freestyle was my first board!

You should paint your Bombers fluorescent yellow to fit the retro look! ;)

I love my new Very Sexy Ride! I've only ridden it for 2 days and my initial reaction was that it's very confidence inspiring and holy cow it really hooks into the turn. I need more time with her to fully appreciate her finer and more subtle qualities :1luvu: I dig the throwback topsheet!

Very sweet looking rides!

With all these sweet new boards that keep being shown don't forget to post in the Board Review section of your thoughts once ridden.

Man how I wanted one of those. I spent some time on a friend's mini rampage back while I was in softies and really thought the Kemper boards were cool back in the day.

Thanks all...

It was the 165 Kemper Freestyle. I'm surprised how few people recognized it in line. YYZ got it... he was there the first day I recieved it.

Now if I can only sneak out work tomorrow.....

And Jack.... I'd be lying if I said yours had no influence on the design.
