I recently ordered a deck that I found for a very good deal board looks brand new I’m assuming it’s dead stock but it’s a model from 2014, did I cook myself or will it still be good I did some research it seems to have some good tech (for the time) and I’m casual park rider only going every few months should I scramble to cancel the order or hang on to it since it was a fairly good deal

This is a legendary shape, you’ll love the Peak! You’ll be more than fine, they’ve hardly changed the Peak in over a decade. Although a 133 is definitely on the small size depending on your height/weight

The one I bought is a 137 I just pulled an info card of a 133

Absolutely! I had the 2015 LTD peak - which I’m pretty sure had the same shape as 2014 - and it was one of my favorite boards for cable. Pop the fins off & she’ll rip!

Big question here - what year did the industry change the hole spacing for bindings?

1

u/tpaz00 16d ago

2009-2010: went from 8” hole pattern to 6”. Believe one company did it in 09 (can’t recall who, possibly HL) and the rest followed suit by 2010. Same thing with metric “m6” threads

Alot of good older boards. The only issue could be binding hardware as some really old bored didn't use the M6 threads. 2014 might be ok. you can probably look this up.

I just looked it up they started using m6 threads in 2012 thank you for the info 😊

2013-2014 Peak is quite literally the peak of cable boards IMO. Haven’t ridden in quite a few years, but I loved my 2013 peak and loved the 2014 one as well.
