Nick was looking to use a small narrow snowboard he obtain from his basement as a powdersub ...he didn't want to mess with the ingretity of the board so he drew up some plans using the existing hole pattern, here's a shot of the plans about to be cutout of a piece of 1/4" thick arcylic (not the strongest stuff, but the scrap fit)...it will be drilled to match a set of trucks of his choice... I can't wait to mail these plates out to him, his backyard looks so perfect to snowskate, and his current ride can't really take advantage of that epic terrain..his lastest deck and this old nidecker sub will be perfect.....the rush is on, time is of the essence..
Sean's team board came out of the press with channels this morning...everything looks A ok...
39" x 9ish ....7.5 plys of maple, four channelled single deck, currently with sidecut (not sure if thats gonna stay) and a hint of camber... it feels real light, next step applying the sintered base under some heavy pressure...
Powdersurfboard NEWS:
If things go according to plan the first december sintered based wood sandwich powdersurfskate will be rushed out tomorrow, and landing in the correct hands just in time to head back on the road for a deep snow excursion this weekend....
thanks for checking in
