durasurf sidewall question

Post by gs9649 »

sidewall from crown comes in lengths of like 4 ft. what do you do for the other two feet of a 190cm ski. i know it doesnt extend all the way to the tip and tail but you got to need more that 4 ft. do you connect two peices together?

I've never ordered direct from Crown, but the material I've always gotten from our other sources (BlankSlate, SkiLab, SnowboardMaterials) are more like 5ft long.

I usually do 6" worth of tip spacer so I've got plenty of sidewall, but my skis are usually 160-170cm length.

Yes you can connect two pieces. Also fun to use two different colors..

Ehhh, I think you have been misinformed or didn't understand the specifications.

Those must either be for kids skis or snowboards.

They aren't even thick enough for a standard size ski.
