How are you liking your kendo's. I love my 2012 Kendo's
Three boards in the active quiver:
2014 Lib Tech T.Rice Pro Horsepower 153 is my new everyday board.
2008 Burton Custom 158 is my powder/rock board.
2009 Burton T6 156 is my alternate everyday. Good for ripping groomers at high velocities or possibly some racing this year.
I have kept every board I've ever had since the beginning. I have a Palmer Carbon Circle 154, a Ride something 152 and, my first and favorite board, an Evol Brad Gross 150. It has dogs playing poker and dogs playing pool on the base. Such an awesome graphic.
I have 6 pairs:
1pr. - Volant Super 1 - 198cm (1998 model).
3 pairs - Volant Power Karves all 193cm (1997 & 1999 models).
1pr. - Dynastar Intuitiv 74 - 188cm (2002/03 model).
1pr.- K2 Axis XP- 174cm (2003 model)

Evol... now there's a throwback!
My first was some cheap Nitro 156 that I absolutely rode to death. It was wide with a set back stance, and I learned to snowboard on a mountain with 500' of vertical that gets less than 30" of snowfall a year. The thing was a boat but man did I have some fun times on it.
I have recently narrowed the collection down to just my 3 active items: 1 set of DH skis, 1 snow board and 1 set of BC XC skis.
I don't regret clearing out any old skis or boards, as they never got used as backups. The only thing I regret getting rid of was my first snowboard. Had a Barfoot 161cm Twin Tip, circa ~1986. It was stupid to sell that thing.
And that's a legitimate use.Most of my old boards I don't really care about. I'm just keeping them because one day I plan to put them all on the wall in my bar room.
