Hi all, just received my new Donek! I know that not everyone here

is a fan of these boards, but I don't think you're going to find a 33cm waist anywhere else!!

The board is a knapton twin - 13m sidecut - 33cm waist - 12/10 stiffness rating.

Can't wait to try it out on the groomers here in Aus. I'll be doing a trip to Mt. Hotham shortly 😎

Looks Pretty!  I may be slightly envious of the width but my new JJA will have a 306mm waist, which will probably be sufficient for my 26.5 boots...

 

What size are your boots?

I'm just slaying...

@wild-cherry Thanks mate! I have a size 11 boot. (I just measured the boot length is 31cms) . My last Knapton twin was 31cm waist with 10m sidecut and I was booting out on that...I can't wait to be able to use that last bit of edge angle 😏 I'm inspired by you to try flow bindings again to reduce the boot out factor...we'll see if I need it?? I've got 10mm underhang on my back foot heelside and 5mm toeside. How much underhang do you go with?

P.S. You should make an Aussie trip for some off season testing 😎 😎

Yeah, about the same I think.  With the Flow bindings anyway.  I can't measure right now, all my boards are stripped of bindings, waxed and stored for summer.

I was thinking Chile, but I won't make it this year.
