I was honest!

CF is just not my favorite. (Of alot of reasons)

Carbon fiber is SHEXY after it's been cleared

Hi Janne!
I know the price of cf is killing me but I guess this is the only thing you dont like about it... What have you discovered?

I like the finish, looks beautiful to me

I just find difficult to work with, leaves alot of fibers all over the place, "drinks" alot of resin, which more or less take out the effect of being lightweight, makes the (in my case) skis harder in a "flappy" way. But that's me, and I have only made a few pairs with cf. So it's my "observations". Fiber glass is well within my criterias.

The latest build..

Notice the two coloured tipspacers..

Tried to get a nice yellow epoxy colour but didn't use enough colour..

The sick fitting method is working well. Skis before grinding the base..

Camber 12 mm, 140-95-120 mm.

Thanks Janne!
It will sure look good with a blue logo.. Or why not blue skis with a yellow logo.
