Pressed again this week. 183 cm 4 dimension ski 129-134-108-115, 30cm rocker-reverse tip, low camber underfoot, traditional tail with mini-flair. about 3/4oz different in weight, tip and tail rise are less than 1mm different at 4lbs 10.5oz +/- a little. 19 oz glass with biax binding mat, (4) 12K carbon stringers top/bottom plus a little basalt fiber from the tip back just past the base of the rocker to stiffen that section just a little. 2.2-12.1-2.2 core profile.

The flex on these feels stiff but not too stiff. I like em.

That is some sweet inlay work!

Thanks Art but it isn't inlay, it is metal leaf/ imitation gold leaf.

Not a sticker, super thin metal that is applied with an adhesive. google gold leafing....

More 183's 4 dimension ski 129-134-108-115, 30cm rocker-reverse tip, low camber underfoot, traditional tail with mini-flair.

178's 127-136-106-120. 30 cm rocker reverse tip, 4 mm camber and sidecut with traditional tail and mini-flair.

169's 117/126/103/116, 30 cm rocker tip with reverse sidecut, traditional camber and sidecut underfoot, mini flair tail. Med-stiff flex.

Vin those look great! I don't think I could pick a favorite. Partial to the birdseye maple and the last pair. Good luck at the show!

Some updated pics of the 169's with the gloss coat and lettering complete.

Your stuff always looks rad. Have fun

Is the lettering marquetry or some other method? Looks great.
