135mm what? I've had ideas in my head for a twin pow deck... anyway i want twin shapes for all riding styles, switch happens ;) I did say 135. It's 12 inches at the waist and 15 at the nose. I was having problems turning in heavy sierra pow and cement. Getting hung up in deep stuff and tight trees ...

ehh, I don't think so. Can you explain your reasoning? I can try. The boards I'm making are rockered tip to tail. So imagine a rocking chair. When you lean back the front comes up. Then think of the boards entry angle to the snow. If you have camber the nose of the board is driven down so the nose ...

That's my thinking anyway. I tested it on a 135mm snow board last winter and it floated insane. I weigh 185 lbs and dusted my friends on standard boards. I'd love to try it on skiis because I still see people leaning back on the tails of their skiis to handle pow. Slightly aft binding position over ...

Unless you are jibbing on the park structures why would you want this?

One half of the fibers run lengthwise the other half run across the board. Just plain ond eglass. Sad note. I just got back from the local ski shop where they murdered my board while doing a base grind. The split board hardware made the board hang up in the machine. So there is a deep grind mark in ...

It seems like when the board bends into the form the top layers are being compressed and the bottom layers streched. Maybe a pretensioned and cured layer on top will help. Along with a thinner core.

Bottom orientation 45 deg. Top 90 deg. I forgot about end grain balsa what a concept. That stuff must drink resin.

That board is ready fo testing in a few days. Any input on the foam core Idea? I understand foam isn't ideal for longevity but light is right sometimes. We have tons of snow in the Sierras and I would be stoked to test a board with the right rocker. Is Divinicell the stuff to look for? Does anyone s...

Seems like i asked too much of the layup to hold the shape.
Thanks

I just layed up my first "real" snowboard and it seems the core wouldn't hold the rocker through the middle of the board. It just went flat when removed from the form. The core was verticle grain fir and Saligna eucalyptus. Should I look into high density foam as material that will hold it...

I've used an automotive vaccum assist pump for 10 years.It uses a diaphram so you dont have oil in the system.It's also quiet and weighs about 6 lbs. Cost 50 bucks used.
