HB (Hansen Boards) 2018
Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 5:35 am
I haven't got nearly as much board building done this year. Mainly due to being laid of here in Munich, and now having new work in Basel Switzerland. I'm enjoying the new work, but with the travel don't have as much free time as I used to.
Anyway, to my current builds.
Last year I built some wide and very light powder skis. They were awesome to ski, but I ran into something pretty hard, and cracked one... so I am replacing those with a more conventional core shape.
Paulownia and Bamboo.
Dimensions = 1,85m long
141 / 107 / 123
Using 2mm tip and tail spacers for the first time. Lets see how that goes.
Spent more time on the cores than usual. I hope the skis turn out as sexy as the cores look.
Second pair is a touring ski for me.
Paulownia / Ash cores.
Length = 1,74
136 / 90 / 117
Ready for layup
And currently Pressing
More to come
