Wow @ the Sims Blade!!
That was the first board I bought back in '86-'87!! Had to hike Mt. Rose summit and learn in waist deep powder with that thing....it wasn't a "hike friendly" board.
I believe they replaced the Kidwell model with the Blade. I loved the Kidwell, but never got my hands on one.
I wish I would have kept the Blade, but I traded it in on a Look Lamar Trick Stick.
Tore the binding inserts right out of the Look on a simple heel side turn.
Cheapest POS board I have ever seen, but it was pretty. All Day glowed out.
I stuck with Sims boards since then and currently have a Sims Daytona 62 that makes a good coat rack, and a "Capt. Morgan spiced rum" board that I won from Bully's years ago....I don't even know who made those, but it seems like it would be a good ride.
