Ski paint

I would choose an automotive urethane and wash with acetone sand with 250 grit, spray, wetsand with 600 grit and machine buff. For the record PPG concept is the ultimate heavy use paint. The go to paint for sailbords.
It is expensive but sprays / hangs really well. Perfect for hacks like me.

You go out and build that board withhuge tail rocker. It is because of ideas like yours that we now have rockered super fats and skis like Scotty Bobs. I love it. Some people onle like what they read after it has been proven......by the way I am 180 and rocked a 145cm board in high school like it w...

Maybe there are different grades of bamboo. All the bamboo I've worked with ranks in my top 5 of hardness.

[quote="doughboyshredder"]Of course you'd have no stability at straight line speeds, but I still bet it's fun hot dogging through low angle trees and what not. I hike for my turns so I make lots of them. Anyway the point of the thread was about tail rocker. I like lots of it. The board hol...

The board is way outside the box so no worries on the bs. About the closeups. The board and mold was built on a rainy sunday finished on a monday tuesday as a test. So it's not eye candy. I'll get shots of the 155mm er cm board soon.

Could be a deck that would be fun for binding free snow shredding.
Nose 335 mm
Waist 305 mm
tail 315 mm

Thanks for posting that. I didn't know i was making a mini fish. I just called it a chub because people were making big boards called fishes.

I kind of call bullshit honestly.
I'm not great with computers but can email pics & vid easy. PM your info and what you like see. If I could edit one helmet cam vid I could show my friend farting for speed while I pass him making turns.

Are you a midget? 135? Are you serious? The cummins la nina is for billy goating and pow riding. The point of having the tail cambered is so that you do not have to lean back at all for the tail to make contact with the snow. No offense intended, but how much experience do you have snowboarding? No...

I like the 135 for trees but am making 155 boards now for next season. I can see the designs you are talking about being great for pointing it downhill and getting more speed for float. Thats fine for more open areas. I'm positioning the bindings further back onto the tail rocker so you don't have t...
