Sorry to say I am very skeptical. The skis still look like they flop around as crazy as any other ski out there. Looks like a lot of marketing hype to me (and their prices match their hype, yikes). Hyper damping? Ok... So how is it put in the ski? Are they just using a super doughy epoxy? Or does it...

Wow, that was VERY cool!!! When I first started into making my first pair of skis (I was in my first year at college), I got in touch with an engineer at K2, who invited me out for a tour (they were still on Vashon at the time). I got a similar experience, with a tour of the factory, and they even g...

If you use a circular sidecut, and pick your three widths, the center location is chosen for you. Alternatively, you can choose two of the widths, and the location of the waist (minimum width), and the third width will fall out. I, too, try to put my max thickness, sidecut waist, and boot center all...

Twizzstyle you are probably right. I didn`t think too much about basic physics behind:) Now I also think it will increase bending stifness about the longitudinal axis, which may not be bad for snowboard that has the widests points at 35cm. Bending stiffness goes with the direction of the fibers. La...

Hey Scott, who makes that sandblast cabinet you've got? I'm going to be buying one for my shop at home, the one I'm looking at is a Grizzly but it's red. I'm trying to get as many white tools as I can (for brightness in the shop). Factory is looking REAL good. Always awesome to see you guys still gr...

Even if you want to use a router for profiling, you really ought to be planing your cores on the bottom side so it's perfectly flat. Planers are cheap, and super handy tools (not just for ski/snowboard building) Many people have been very successful with routers for profiling, but many more have str...
