Worked at Kirkwood Ski Resort as a Groomer riding this board All-Mountain for 15 years. I own 2 of them & just got a 3rd from 1991 off ebay in mint condition. It's an incredibly light board for 198-193 cm. Don't think you can't ride steep narrow chutes & trees because it's along board. I've ridden it in needle thin chutes & tight trees, it turns quick. It floats in the deepest snow & holds an edge at any speed. Powers through crud & chopped up mashed potatoes, killer edge hold & bomber construction for such a huge yet lightweight board. Customer Service made in Seattle, WA.USA by boarders for boarders. Lib Tech has a reputation for fixing just about anything they ever made if it's possible.

Model: 2000 Libtech Doughboy Shredder 193cm Year of Birth: 1972 Height: 6'-3" Weight: 180 lbs. Years Experience: started in 1988 Overall Rating: 9/10 Purchased: 12/2001 Paid: $218 + 36 shipping Top Sheeet Graphics: wood laminate w/ sm. surfer logo in center Base Graphics: fluorescent yellow Flex: 6-7/10 (typical freeride) This is the board for the junkie that likes to go mach 10 down mountains in powder or slush. It measures 193cm/6'4.5" material length and 6'3" tip to tail. So it's ideal for +2 feet of fresh and big open bowls. This is not the board for small mountains, tight gullies or tight chutes. 540s and backflips seem to be the physical limits for technical tricks. Otherwise it would have a 10/10 rating like my Lib Tech Litigator (cork 7s on a 172cm!!!). However, this board is a powder hog and will consume more freshies and take even the most experienced rider places he/she never thought possible. It doesn't feel like turning until it's going at least 30 mph. 40-50 mph is just cruising speed. Since the board is so long I highly suggest wearing a helmet just in case you ragdool at high speed. I would not want to scorpion my scalp with this board! Also, I wouldn't suggest this board for anyone weighing less than 160lbs, with a smaller foot than a size 9US, or who doesn't know how to throw a hard lay back turn, because you'll need some inertia to tame this beast. If you're looking for a your first REAL powder board I'd suggest the Litigator or Emmagator. If you already have one of those and still want more, you should definitely check this board out or the Grocer 180cm! Customer Service Made in the USA by people who ride.

I haven't found any yet great board. Being 6'3" and 250 pounds, I needed to find a board that could handle my big ass. The Doughboy Shredder was just the board. |
