BioComposite Cores and Fibre Sheets- BComp

Post by ExoticSkis »

I just found this company in Switzerland making bio-composite (flax and balsa, flax and PET) cores and sheets. Very interesting. Several companies such as Idris and WhiteDotFreeride have been experimenting with flax-composite sheets to replace fiberglass/carbon/kevlar as a "Green" alternative.

It might be worth checking out. The have ski and snowboard-sized blanks.
Definitely read the info at their site.

A bad day skiing is always better than a good one at work...
