The evolution goes on

[Alex]

May i introduce my latest project:

This Ski is a combination of traditional and reverse sidecut ski, that hopefully preserves the advantages of both designs. The ski center under the boot is 135mm wide:



The topsheet is bamboo veneer.


Here's the airex core for the skitip (proved to be lightweight and strong with my last year's ski):



The next picture shows my way to improve the edgehold an compensate the different heights of edge and base:






I use a mixture of resin+aerosil+cotton flakes


Here you can see my vaccumsetup for pressing:

the bamboo looks really cool! great work! where did you get it, how thick is it and how much did you have to pay for it?

Maybe you got the bamboo from a pair of Bogner...

Do these skis have 0 camber?

[Alex]

Bamboo starts to get more and more available. I got one sheet (200x40cm) for 12,-EUR from a veneer online-shop in germany (ripping it from Bogner skis is another way - but a little more expensive ). It is 0.7mm thick - weight about 100g/ski.

Yes, the skis have 0 camber and a 25cm long 8cm high shovel.
