thanks alot for all the help. the info on keeping it thick until a sharp decrease towards the tip and tail is really going to help alot. it is going to be a stiffer board anyway because you normally feel most of your flex on the outside of your bindings. thanks again! http://i162.photobucket.com/alb...

i came up with the 106 because i took the stance i was using on my other board and extended it enough to encompass the tip and tail. i chose to make a small board for just messing around on lazy days and to take with us when we go to places with snow for example camping or to my grandparents cabin. ...

More POP!

Just wondering if you guys know how to get more POP from a board or ski. I like to be able to pop my board up onto high ledges and was wondering if you need a flatter camber or higher one or if its something completely different.

Thanks to the creators!

This site is awesome because it'll help tons of people make their own boards instead of having to go buy a board or a pair of skiis that a lot of other people are going to have. It also makes for great conversations on t...

Snowboard wood core thickness

Hey, I'm just starting building my snowboard but I was wondering if anyone knew what the thickness to flexibility ratio is on a snowboard. I want to make my board more flexible than not but I don't know how thick the wood core should be. I am using poplar for my core with one sheet of fiberglass :D
