What did you have in mind?

I assume you’ve looked at SkiBoardsOnline; they have a huge selection, a ton of knowledge, and a very active forum, including a gear swap section.

I’m 99% sure I still have a pair of used RVL8’s; 2013 DLP’s (110cm) with Groove X1 non-release bindings collecting dust somewhere. I’m in Boston. I never rode them, but I did keep them in my trunk when at a mountain in case someone wanted to try them / as a backup option.

They are on the longer side for Skiboards; I started with a pair of 90cm Line Jedi’s, and then moved up to 105cm RVL8 Revolts; I don’t get out much now, but they are still my go-to.

Not sure your experience / reasoning for choosing Skiboards, but SBOL is your best bet.

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.
