Tip and tail rise

Post by Jdline »

How much tip and tail riser do you use?

I made mine at about 40mm for my allround, and for my rocker 55mm.
I do like the look of it, but when compairing to other skis, its like only the half :?

I havent tested them in powder but on the slopes that doesnt make e real differents ..

My tip rockers usually rise 55--65mm depending on which mold I'm using and type of ski. tail rise varies depending on the type of ski anywhere 15-40 mm, usually more in the 20-30mm range.

I also use less to tip height on my snowboards than I typically see in commercial boards.
40-50 mm on a typical snowboard shovel, 20-30mm on alpine snowboards (with tip length similar to skis).

15 years ago the 25mm rise got some weird looks, but nowadays most alpine snowboard manufacturers use something like that.
