Longest Snowboard in the World?

[Maximus Farcisimus]

Pogo makes lots of big boards-beautiful craftsmanship.
Copper tipped, what looked like ivory logo inlay. The 189 had a couple tail ‘convex dimples’ Rode a couple, 189, 205. Think 240cm is the longest stock board in their line Have a good friend from Germany who had a hook up w then. Pure beasts, fun to rip. They command a hefty price

Ivory logo inlay... very nice. Saw the dude again yesterday and he was saying he rode for Pogo as well

Homie was out with his 306cm yesterday.

He rides a wide alpine stance because duck footed makes him feel like he's sitting in a chair.

This pic cracks me up because you happened to snap it with my kid right behind the board in this pic, he's been down there the last couple weeks coaching race kids thru 07/01.

Well that and the 300+cm snowboard.

It would have to be so stiff for the nose to be anything but a measurement stunt. Ive ridden the Lib doughboy shredder 196, and that was already crazy. Riding a yuge board is such a change- gotta plan your lines more but railing turns feels like a different sport almost.

What I really want to see is one of these monsters in deep powder.

Wonder how they pressed that cuz it would be a long fucking press ??

the local ski maker did some 204's for a bro so I asked why 204 ?

he bought a steel beam for the press, whacked it into 4 equal lengths and the longest ski he could fit in the press was 204

How serendipitous! You must be so proud of your boy! Like father like son. Here's to hoping for a third generation racer son in the future!

We met a wonderful family like that at Ski Bowl last season, who were three generation racer boys, and Dad and Grandpa had broken their legs training on Reynolds run. Someday, the son would carry on the family tradition and break his leg there, too. It was weirdly wholesome and heartwarming and so funny because they were all on their way to ski Reynolds. What a nice memory.

The summer race camps are a big operation. It's fun to pick up the little kids as single riders on the lift and chat with them and see how far they've traveled to train. Sometimes, they almost sound like little adults, and I theorize it's because they spend so much time talking to coaches.

Saw it in half and you have two decent boards.

A guy named Doug Dryer in Bend had Tinkler Snowboards build a 252 for him years ago. At the time that was thought to be the longest board in the world, and a 282 was said to be in the works. Even so, I guess he lost the crown now. Having said that, I wonder how that 306 rides; Doug could definitely tear it up on his 252: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLF6aosPfbo&t=27

I rode the chair with Doug at Bachelor once and we talked about the geometry a bit. It had almost no sidecut because with a board that long, the tip and tail get unreasonably wide in a hurry. He was super comfortable on it but I don't think he rode it all day, think he switched to something friendlier like a 202

I've not seen anyone on anything above about 2m. Those massive toys wouldn't fit in a helicopter basket.

However, back in the day people would turn up with the Dough Boys and a few other large boards. None of them could rip, and none of them took those big boards out two days in a row.

My old big day board was a Morrow Matt Goodwill 176, big stiff block of foam cored crap.
I also rode a friend's custom Summit 190, that was about as big as I want to go. Tree riding in powder felt like trying to drive a class A RV through Manhattan

[b0ardski]

effective edge looks to be under 200cm, gonna need some real estate to turn that thing.
170 is about the longest I'll take in the trees, unless it's open glade.

Alright for real though who brings their skis/board inside the lodge?

[OregonDead]

I most certainly carry my skis into that lodge with me. This picture is in the skiers day lodge right in front of the rental and service shop entrance. If you were to rent skis at this place or bring them in for work at the shop or drop them at the ski check this is the corridor you bring your skis down. With a sport like skiing it just makes sense to have a lodge for skiers to be able to go inside. but If that is not for you there is another lodge across the lot where they will ask you to leave your gear outside and you can check out little slippers to wear by the fire
