Most propably H-Type Series from 95-96 if it is a transparent construction that features flexible rubber tip and tail with XX or XXX in the middle of the top.
XX=width

H-Type "Riders Choice " with "db" in the middle of the top.

R-Type was a freeride shape

Herwig pretty much nailed it. The only thing I'll add is that the flying angel logo was on the nose and tail of the the boards too.

I've got a XXX 151.

@fifty
but then take care of the quality. As far as I can recall they were made by Völkl Skies / Germany and these were there first snowboards... The top and bottom sheets were starting to go off the wood core after a few rides. I used to sell those boards at that time.
And I know for sure that the German wholeseller did cancel the whole order, which is an incredible amount of boards
But there might have been more than just one manufacturer to meet worldwide demand. All I can say is that the boards meant for Europe were made by Völkl. And those boards were absofuckinglutely faulty constructions!!!!

I've forgotten to mention that you can identify it easily when the board has a whitish spot. These spots can be of any diameter. The whole board tended to delaminate!
