Call me when you get a job and can afford to give two shits......

Hi guys I'm a noob that wants to sell my shit at 3000000% more than it's worth on a website I do not contribute to. When an actual contributing member tries to help me out I act like a dick because that's sure to move my shitty ass 13 year old girl gear on a website of peeps who ski 50+ days a year. God Speed Eric....god speed

Ok let me see what's around.

How much do you wanna spend ? Boards ain't cheap but I know a bunch of people that have some laying around possibly at a bunch of price points.

Burlier click clacks, cross country downhill a ski inbetween a true click clack and a downhill ski. LIke a super super light rando ski. The best part of that linked collection is Last of the Ski Bums with the legendary Ron Funk. Go to 230....classic

There are some WW2 era training/equipment films that are pretty interesting - part of this collection for 20$ http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Ski-Films-None/dp/B002MD3UNM

Maybe go older, John Jay made some of the best skiing movies ever, Barrymore has maybe the first modern movies and Otto Lang pretty much invented the ski movie.

Is that your boat ? That is a very expensive boat....hope your birthday was killer brother

Not with any consistency. There was a whole month last year I didn't surf at all, Lake Atlantic, day after day of ankle lickers...... When a bigger swell comes through every once in a blue moon, Naval and Henlopen still works but the takeoff is super super narrow, off the new jetty there is random rock that sits about 5 feet and a little to the left, you need to be within 10 or so feet to really get those long rights but every idiot is packed into this super tight area. Mostly if its not complete shit your riding knee high mush for about 15 seconds....

Old dude ? Big Wave Dave maybe, dude is legit and almost got killed in OCMD riding a winter storm. There was a time from about 15-3 years ago when IRI was alot more consistent. North would be solid longboard waves 90% of the time. Navy would have a few hours a day when the tides were right were you could run really long rights for DE. The real magic was South Side at around dusk, if the swell was NE and it was timed right with the tides, big ripping hollow a frames would appear for 1-2 hours. They were super steep and shore break, butt tons of sand in the shorts but god damn they were fun. Body board only unless you were super skilled, flop down, super steep drop in a legit barrel for DE, go about 5 seconds and complete close out, some real pounders. Still best non-hurricane waves I've ever seen in DE. Alas they really started pumping sand and all that shit is gone now, once Kenny died it seemed like all the swell went with him. RIP Kenny

Lewes, Navy Breaks but they don't break anymore, IRI but it doesn't break either.......

That's true, most people don't even know it exists which is weird I mean don't they own maps.

People visit everywhere, I don't know why but there are lots of hotels in Reading so somebody must be coming for the pretzels or whatever. I've been there for 32 summers, it's not visiting its a second home.

DE has been nice the last few weeks, last weekend it was legit hot. Water is still cold, gonna need a few mils if you want to be in the water for any amount of time.

My brother skis like that normally and it's definitely a variation of the Polish Vadelin from the 1979 movie Performers.

If you sell something in part on it being cool that shit is going to fade in a relatively short time. There are is a core group of snow sports people that will ride a fucking 2x4 down the hill if necessary. They are always around they will always buy shit and there numbers don't really change. There is a second group of sometimes, they get out 10 or less days a year, maybe more if the money/weather situation is good these fuckers can really influence the bad/good year calculations. Additionally the sometimes can be alot of the money pie because assholes like ourselves aren't renting and buying shit tons of food and all that shit. The third category is the wannabe's, early on in snowboarding you saw alot of wannabe teenage girls around, snowboarding was hella cool, their peers were into it and the young teenage boys they for some reason like were majorly into it. The wannabe's were never really into it but they really liked being cool so once it was less cool, less edgy and more mainstream they moved on to other things. It doesn't really matter, snowboarding ain't going anywhere.

It's a god damn conspiracy man ! Chemtrails, 9/11 was an inside job, Ron Paul 2012 !!!!!! Seriously though these reports use the SIA Snow Sports Inteligence Report - http://www.snowsports.org/Consumers/SnowSportsMarketIntelligenceReport SIA has a series of highly trained secret agents that have been placed at key points in all snow sports manufacturer's facilities to count snowboards and skis as they leave the factory. Although under great peril they are generally pretty accurate, sadly many bothans died to bring us this information.....or they just ask them. It may be surprising but a multi-billion dollar industry over multiple continents may need to know some shit about it's customers.

The no fog google was invented there. Smith of Smith goggles used to run with Ron Funk and crew.....

Rep had rtm 84 and katana, he also said the other three vwerks skis are all touring models with integrated skins. That's pretty interesting but he hinted at some kind of new touring binding in the works which would be very interesting.....

I rode a bunch of shit last week, one that really stood out was the Solly qlab 104. I don't like Solly skis, these rocked, some kind of super light core, prolly foam with a butt ton of metal. Really interesting. Also the 190 Squad 7 rocks, I didn't like anything from the Elan or Nordica lineup, although the nyergy 105 was decent.

Damn, not much left on the EC.....want to ski weekend of 25th/26th

Damn, that looks better than January some years..... WTF do I do with myself now.....

Have a great one, revel in the April turns !

Talk about crazy, blue will close the same weekend as aspen....

Nice that's real commitment, crazy pa year
