I just bought a Genovese 57. Going on a cue from a buddy who I've been riding with forever. First board I bought that I haven't demo'd. Can't wait to get on it. They're rating the flex at a 7 out of 10 so I figure I can drop into anything I find in the backcountry with it.
What the hell is "cu-camber" and "regular foot method base"? Whatever they are this board supposedly has them. BTW these guys do not respond to emails, just like Union and Deeluxe. They're all like boxes of chocolates I guess.
The hype is mostly due to them being rider owned and a local/core brand. They've been around
A couple of years now. I haven't heard anything negative about them only good reviews. We'll
See how they hold up as the hype builds. I equate them with a brand like stepchild...
Got it today. Graphix are so whack. Up close the girl's face looks baked.
Made in Austria not the US. Doesn't feel at like a 7 flex- it's a bit softer. Poppin around the rug it feels like the Indoor but lighter and it has blunt tips. Spins really easy- nice even flex from nose to tail
Nice board, congrats!! Yeah the tip/tail are definitely blunt!!!
Ok so I know the CO DWD rep and here is the scoop. They use to make the boards at "The Lodge" Signal's factory in Cali. Just this model year they switched to the Elan factory in Austria. You got a newer Elan factory made one. I have one of the last USA made DWD Genovese #13 in a 09/10 151. The Kwon I ended up with is made in the USA also and #1 of this year/model/size. From your pics you can definitely see differences!! Here are some of pics of my DWD boards for reference.
I live in Kansas City and they sell Dinosaurs Will Die boards at one of the three places that sells boards in KC.
