Hey guys. Been along time. I sold my house with the new shop I built in the back. Bought a massive 3 floor home, one of those now filled with wood and tools and disorganization. As summer goes not enough time has been spent building. Camping, boating, surfing and some chainsaw massacres have filled those months.
Just getting back into it, and have a totally new look on snowboarding. Not into making all mountain, twin type, do it all boards at all anymore. Our skis have never been that way, and I think things got carried away with the intent to build for others.
Here's my new rides for me and my wife this year. Twiny deck thrown in for size comparison.
The snub nose is a 137.5 cm cambered deck. Big scoop, little rise in the swallow. One is Quadaxial basalt with a full layer of 4oz unit carbon tapering down to a point in the nose. The other a triax basalt with a full layer of the Uni Carbon on bottom.
The other 2 fishes are 143cm. One is sandwiched with 11oz triax Carbon, some extra material ontop the inserts. The other is a 0/90 8oz Carbon, sandwich with 2oz plain weave black innegra top and bottom. These ones are big reverse camber decks. The mold was made to match the boards sidecut. I basically took the 3 arcs that run to the points where the tip/tail rollover, then cut that and extended them. The tightest radius is between the insert then it mellows out.
I'm pumped to ride. We just had our first really heavy frost yesterday. I headed to Terrace for thanksgiving with the family and the mountains had a white blanket. It's coming!
