Reply to comment by EmotionalBrontosaur in Is there anywhere in Rhode Island where I can buy skiboards? by thatgotmegood

Thanks! Just ordered a pair of Summits last night. I did look at RVL8s but ultimately went with the Summits.

I rode them about 10ish years ago as an alternative to being a buffoon in longer skis and really liked them. That’s really all there is to it. I was surprised to see how much distaste there is for them, just chatting with stores around here.

Awesome! Have fun (and go join SBOL; several NE people active, last so checked). Most people think Skiboards (wood core, sidewall) = Snowblades (foam core, junk edge); that’s usually the issue.

Be prepared to chat on every chairlift about them! They do get quite a few double-takes and inquiries.
