hello
FALLS: On my next powder stick:
lenght 197. 136 / 130 / 136 hybride Sidecut
reverse side cut 0-30 140-197
no edges. 0-25 147-197
height. 2,4. 0,9. 0,4. O. O. 5
lenght. 0. 13. 30. 85 140. 197
back reverse camber very gradual
then 55cm flat AND then low(5cm!) tip gradual
on the front 50cm concave 1cm deep decreasing wide 10cm
ready : september 2011
do you like that?
Seb Michaud about the concave: "no différence; only marketing!"
( but it was a very short concave an very light )
Armada shaper last year: "no edges on the reverse sidecut part should be good"
so think of the part of the ski breaking the crust(crud?) with no hooking... And no edges at this part
this 2 ideas are very Good and match perfect together...
But a concave ski Is not easy waxable, difficult to build>>not the same price
good slide AND sorry for my bas english

Old windsurfer, I have used plenty of different shape on my boards , some with concave(s) V and flats . So, the first advantage of the concave was with his variable surface touching the water: a really better work on choppy sea, ++ comfort ++ dampening
big V worked the same but put the pressure, the energy outside of the hull, so don't keep the planning at the same level. Convexe is pretty close to V
about plannig, you must make difference:
- making it. Only wery thin concave help it, flat hull plane better than deep concave
- keeping it. There huge, deep concave was advantage specially on choppy conditions
i need to say that in fact it's more complicated, my english is bad, but you can' t say when you talk about shape:" you take that and you simply add it, it will work better" you need to find the good mix, understand all parameters and perfectly match them if you want a good stuff, a brilliant new tool , and it,s not so easy ...
so if i wanted a powder ski without risk ( find a good setting ) i will buy it on the market ( probably 4frnt renegade ) but i want to create so:
let's go rock and roll, use this cleaver idea for a good dampening onthe front, matche with a rocker tip ( 57 cm gradual 5cm high only) no edges there ( only 120 cm running edge contact ) sofgt at the beginning then increasing to became stiff under foot and on the tail( with very light inverse camber ))
this tool should work good on crud powder , heavy powder or spring condition...
we wil see all that next year
ciao et bonne glisse
