Hey Tim, I'm not a sublimation expert but I've heard that some of the lower costs Epsons (1280, r1800) can handle the sublimation inks. They also support roller feed paper so you can do a full length print of your ski/board. Of course you'll need some kind of heat press to transfer the inks onto you...

Thanks for the heads up. Scared me quite a bit since my family owns six dogs.

Nice progress. Just a note - I would be very careful about sharp corners on your top mold. It could puncture your hose if you're not careful.

I've been having problems with p-tex spacers as well. I resorted to fiberglass spacers and they seem to be working.

great press! probably one of the most appealing I've seen so far. Seems nice and strong but has a clean, lightweight look to it. Just a question - are you worried about the press tipping over?

Great stuff endre! It's refreshing to see more companies pushing the design of their skis. The fischer boat tip design reminds me of an exaggerated version of the Dynaster Legends right? That ski seemed to ski well so maybe the Fischer's will too. A small, removable fin doesn't seem quite sturdy eno...

There are quite a few guys on here that have built successful park skis. Member "*ARMADA*", "Melvs" (?), and a bunch of others have documented there works really well. Personally I don't think park cores should differ too much from the traditional core. You can butter zones (basi...

You really don't need such short skis for park. If you really think about it, 5cm (even 10cm) is not that much of an increase in terms of swing weight.

Nice, shiny skis! Sorry about the URL posting rule. So far it's the most effective thing we've got to prevent the spammers from ruining the board. Hopefully we can find something better in the future.

I've managed to get one good powder day on the Birds and I loved them. With their little inverse sidecut (about 1 mm) the skis have the same sort of characteristic as the Spatulas. Such little inverse sidecut combined with the zero camber also allow the skis to maneuver well on hardpack and maintain...

2 sets of pontoons?! Never really noticed how early the tips and tails start their curvature. Thanks for sharing the pics. Definitely very jealous of your access to that sort of equipment. Interesting pics of the Gotama tails. Is that black stuff in the center a rubber/plastic layer (between the lay...
