I read something on here the other day about resin crystallization. I have 2 litres of resin that went solid and thought I had stuffed it up. I checked out the entropy site and they talk about how to reverse it. Excited to see if I can fix it. we don't have a microwave so I will heat up some water a...

Hi Guys, Well I am starting to look at making another board, possibly 2. I was going to try out something fancy but thought it might be better to get some more use out of my current mold and so forth. These ones will be about improving my technique and trying out some new things. I want to do one wi...

I get excited whenever you update!
Love your stuff.
Do you have any tips for a split board with the edge down the guts?
Also, Do you leave a slight gap down the middle?

Err, so my call of success may have been a little premature. Seems I have a slight de-lamination issue. Its between the core and the base with the glass sticking to the base side. Its not deep, less than 2cms and its maybe 4 cms long. I am going to fill with epoxy and clamp it down to the mold until...

first day on my first board. success!

Sooo... Rode my new stick today at falls creek here in AU's. Snow is super wet and sticky. Got a few nice turns in first thing. The rest of the day was spent avoiding the wind, rain and sticky snow. Had a blast. The board handled really well. Turns really nicely in the heavy powder/fresh snow/ slop ...

split board binding mount system on kickstarter

These look pretty neat. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1344397153/one-binding-systems?ref=live The general gyst is that you can fit your split board bindings on any of your boards without any hassle. I don't have a split board but I will have one soon I hope. Don't know what I will do with it...

So I dropped my board off last week to get a base grind at AUSKI here in Melbourne. They did a real nice job. I was going to get a stick of ptex to fill in a couple of minor gaps between the edge and the base. Really small ones, still wanted to fill them though. The store had already done this for m...

I like all mountain boards mostly. I have always liked NS. My second boards was a legacy, back when boots being huge meant I had to ride wide boards. I know what you mean but I reckon they have done better in the last few seasons. I am not that up to date though so who knows. Do you use rocker cambe...

Konichiwa Gozaimaas San I think I got carried away on the agressive radius at the tip and tail. I might calm that down a little. I was thinking something like a 5 metre radius. If you look a the Never summer board design I am looking at they have a similar setup. I have looked at the boards in the s...

Dropped her off for a grind and edge last night. The girl in the shop told me it looks brand new so won't need it "they do that in the factory". Explaining to someone that you actually made this in your shed, pretty awesome feeling hey!

Hey Goz, Thanks for the concern. It's been unplugged for at least 2 years so no worries :) Some more pics. You can see some dry spells in the middle strip of the base and some bubbles in the top sheet along with a couple of spots where I sanded through. I don't care. I put bindings on and gave it th...
