really interesting topic ! twizz, can you share more numbers about your skis I plan do build same sort of skis for my wife, about the same size (158) I wonder what radius you used, and are you happy with it ? I plan to set a quite short radius, around 14/15m, to have a ski that turns easily and quic...

New board, only few shots of the building just out of the vacuum press http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7448/9123867647_562d60c090.jpg after cutting http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7455/9126088134_5c4dfa3193.jpg some Posca drawing http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7337/9123867685_a0d3c120a6.jpg and with bind...

I guess we'll have to learn how to use a real cad then ...

is there any way to "read" snocad files ? I just need to read somes measures, for a board, and I don't want to "rethink" everything

thanks anyway

any news ?
I guess my addiction is getting badly serious !

also, big thanks !

Sorry, I didn't want to be mean or anything once again, I've never test this, but I just wanted to add some explainations I don't know where you guys live, but here, in France, snow falls often comes with wind. And wind move snow. So really often, during a climb, you can have to cross an icy slope t...

don't call it stupid if you don't understand why

the reason of the 3 part splitboard is to get a more efficient ski for the climbing

with 3 part, skis are narrower, so lighter, and more efficient on hard snow / icy snow

I've never tried but I'm sure that's an efficient toy

I love the tiny ones
can you tell us more about them ?

Hi, I've done some changes http://www.freeshaper.com/include/images/snow/ski_top_view.png Overall Length 1580 > 1590 Running Length 1100 > 1150 Nose Length 280 > 250 Tail Length 200 > 190 Nose Width 120 > 120 Tail Width 110 > 108 Waist Width 91.72 > 91.189 Sidecut Radius 13000 > 14500 Sidecut Bias 6...

I'm not a skier, and not a expert

I think tail length is not a detail, for a ski/snow that need to avoid sinking. IMO, yours is a bit too short

the problem is I'm not sure of the right design, so I prefer not giving any advice that can be wrong

thanks, I'm using 840g FG (30oz ?) so I guess 11mm is too much I'll probably go with 10 so I'm still not sur about the tip and tail shape. I want to keep the size for the camber/rocker, but maybe increase the running length. so have the widest point in the rocker part. my guess is that it can add ea...

Hi, as a lot of you here I guess, my second project is for my wife But for some reasons I can't understand, she's addicted to skis, and I've the level of my 4 years old daughter if my 2 feet are not on the same board So I need your opinion/advices on my shape She's the kind of skiers that like to go...

thanks,
I didnt notice, as I do not have so much to compare, but now you've said that, you're probably right about epoxy.

I guess at that step, I was more focused on the next layers to come. newbie's mistake !

I'll probably sand the top and do some kinf of epoxy coat to have a smoother top

edit : still can't post a link ... sorry also, I have to say that you guys here are way too good and I'm here to help new comers not to feel bad. You can have 2 left hands like me, don't know anything about wood, vacuum, expoy and all, and build a board. well I still don't know how "riddable&qu...

... as I need 2 posts...
