I designed it to be a replacement for the Tanker 200cm
In specific, I am wanting the narrowest, stiffest one,
I do not want the new one and they sound too fragile for bomber TD3s.
I have 3 184 WC GS boards, old designs, not VSR and not Metal.
So this is a one board , quiver killer, IMO (I hope)

Sean has the stuff that really matters. But here it is; 22.5cm waist. 12metre sidecut+\- one or two degrees of VSR

However, the stiffness and torsionality Are ALL Sean Martin

well i'm thinking about getting a custom one made as well. But no never rode anything remotely like it before. I think the review of the other donek metal new shape boards should tell you something.
I'm thinking about a 235 waist, but not sure how long yet probably around a 180.

What I can say is my 192 tanker with a 245 waist is a great board.

Hi
More and more 2008 and newer are braeking, tips and binding areas.

I do not want a rockered board, for all over use. Just dome deCamber at tip and tail.\\\


I want a big quiver killer, I have 2 WC 182s from Prior and Bruce at Coiler.

I have a 182cm FC Coiler also.

My 12 YO Burton Super model 181 is being too soft and has almost turned itself into a tanker, see DeCaber and Rocker above.

Next week will bee the day
