Reverse taper questions

[chris_eco]

Curious if anyone has built up a custom with reverse taper (nose width narrower than tail width)?

Also interested in any experiences with Inca boards or any production boards that had reverse taper (are there any?).

Thanks

Chris,
There is a demo company (nevado.com) that has a couple of Inca's. I'm going to one of their demo day's at Sunapee on Feb 8th to try one out.

Oxygen made a board with reverse taper (actually called flare) a long time ago, it didn't work out too well.

I had a Freesurf Highlander 155 (I forget the year, probably 94 or 95) that had reverse taper, just a little (a couple of millimeters, maybe a centimeter, like regular taper). It held pretty well, but was to stiff and short for me.

lack of taper or reverse taper is great if you like having turns that just don't end.

It makes it very difficult to end one turn and smoothly transition into the next turn. They tend to chatter badly near the end of the turn and are spooky going fast....

stay away !
