It has an impressive pedigree, with numerous powder boards and beefcake carving machines under its belt. Built out of 4x4 inch steel box beams Not interested in ...

Yeah, I got some of that stuff from snowboardmaterials a while back and both sides bond to stuff no problem (which was a pain in the ass when i used it as base material cause tape wouldnt stick to it to protect it, but epoxy would). Ought to be perfect as tip and tial spacer. I imagine it would work...

Masonite Cracking in Tip and Tail

I've been using 1/8" Masonite on top of my molds (that've been designed with 3/4" ribs and consequently 3/4" gaps) and its stiff enough to eliminate any significant waviness or concavity in the base, but it always cracks on me when I try and bend it in the tip and tail sections. In th...

Help Needed: Workspace in Salt Lake City

I'm planning on living in Salt Lake this summer and ended up with an unexpected month and a half at the beginning of this summer with which to build skis. The place I'm staying, however, doesn't have a garage or any place to build. I've done some exploring online for storage units or empty workspace...

Surface skis out of cottonwood heights has a real similar profile for their rocker. They call it "three stage rocker" and I'm having a devil of a time finding a side view of it, but it looks exactly the same as these bad boys. Haven't ridden them yet, but people seem to be enjoying it. roc...
