Hello.
I am building myself a new powder specific snowboard (finally! one for me!). I started to snap some pictures of the process. Should I start posting them here, or in another part of the forum?
Layup: Base/edges; 12 oz +-45 degree biax carbon; 9 oz uni carbon; balsa core; 9 oz carbon; 12oz carbon is wrapped around core/uni like a burrito and overlapped on the top. prototype, so will probably skip topsheet. Anyone interested in seeing this? Where and how do i attach photos?
later, carlito
Balsa core fattys, first try!

Ah. photobucket you say.
Ok so i will try to get this setup in the next few days and I will start a post in the journal section.
Been getting into the shop despite plague in the house with the kids and stuff. Core shaped/profiled including inserts/strengthening plates; base cut out and on the press; edges bent; sidewall dams in place; started lacing edges with kevlar yesterday and got shut down with domestic duties. hoping kids go to sleep, and I should get the lacing finished and fabrics cut tonight. layup tomorrow, unless this storm actually shows up, in which case, maybe tomorrow eve.

just finished a ski pair for my sister
160cm, 120/84/110
tip to tail poplar core 2-11-2, ash sidewalls
600gr gf, + some cf roving bottomside only
no topsheet, neither anykind of finish
skis felt quite light at the hand
I weighted them before routing the sidewalls:
one weigts 1092gr, the other is just 6gr heavier
skipping plastics -tipspacers, topsheet- and beeing stingy with the resin its an easy way to reduce weight
