DUPRAZ?

Post by surfinsmiley » Friday 30 December 2005, 10:50

Who has ridden the D1 from Dupraz?

What did you think of it?

Is it good in hardboots? Can you carve it on the groomers?

Does it handle some speed?

Desperately in need of a powder board, this season in Japan has just been powder heaven!

(yes, I used the search function and found a few threads but was just keen to see what the feeling was on this board now, after a bit more use and maybe a few more users.)

Dupraz

Hello,

I'm french and in a fisrt time sorry for my English. I'm ridding the D1 from one month but I tested it just three time. I'm a girl of 1,68 m and 62 kg and this board is very reactiv and speed. It's excellent for carving and freeride. And you didn't need to be a "big" gabarit to ride it. but it's a physical and nervous board. It's a very good medium choice between a classic board and a swallow.
I think you could use your hardboots but just for carving.
Write me a private message if you need more information.

Thanks. Otter(ess)
I have zero French so thank you so much for your English.

I`m very happy to hear from a Dupraz rider.

I have also seen that Pogo has a longboard that looks very similar but has a HUGE price tag on it.

What sort of conditions have you ridden it in?

Sorry to ask you here and not in a PM, but hey, that`s what the forum is for.

Don`t be shy.

I have just made arrangments to buy a Rad Air Tanker 200cm here in Japan.

The Dupraz will have to wait until next season, but I`m pretty sure I`ll get one regardless. They are just so beautifull looking. :D 8)

YEAH 8) Those videos are great. So cool that the board is so multi-functional. Love the nose rocker/shape, that`s gotta be good for powder.

Looks like that board rocks!

Anyone else got plans to add one to the quiver?

Or the Pogo Longboard?

I`m pretty sure I`ll be picking one up, when I do I`ll post on this topic again and have a rave about it. :D

I ride it on icy snow it was good for carving and twice on fresh snow for freeride and in the both situations it's a gun.
see you later
