POWDERSURFSKATE- Model #2 (thinking of a name)

I've been dreaming of making a proper powdersnowskate for a long time, this is what I came up with.. (based on a hundred different designs, mostly burton, and the old winterstick)

Its has a wooden sandwich construction wood core, skinned with a super slippery piece of 4000 gallium sintered CLEAR base (ptex) ...the maple wood should keep it plenty strong with flex....
.



translucent base is epoxied to the core under a severe amount of pressure......... hint of kick in the tail

just have to trim the excess ptex away followed by sealing and gripping, it should be ready for a run this weekend....

.

production note: I'm currently pressing a mini version of this exact board for Jordan who's throwing a snowskate demo out in Nelson, British Columbia...They're having a city street courted off and covered in snow to hold a snowskate demo, while the winter olympic torch passes thru their town. (on the 23rd? ) Sounds like an amazing time wish I could bail and go, for now I just hope my mini-fish gets finished and shipped out in time..... pics to follow

the local snow up on the toll road by me is still super dry, it has provide so much fun this past two weeks I haven't check a surf report...maybe a dusting tonight who knows
...thanks for checking in

any questions, please email: decembersnowskates@gmail.com

december Demo Day Pics have arrived

Couple of VIDEO FRAME GRABS : from our demo session on labor day week...mikey C. made the trip happen and shot some great video...(thanks for everything mikey)
there was seven of us on the trip:
Highlights from the video was watching brian M.'s smile grow as he rode SWS's air mat to the sand...and my bro. Stevo standing tall on a foamie in one shot and trying to thread the needle in the next....
...this might look like common stance, and a lame wave, but if you been surfing for twenty years like stevo, this looks and I bet feels awesome...he's been battle tested in alot of crazy , huge, cold, sketchy and hawaiian surf places, and my guess he digs this shot too. (on a foamie)

the sequence

right about here steve's mojo started to go south as his ass started to drag...lookout..

the drop.. (two posts about pnuematics in one week..)

choosing the line

the smile

..."thats what's it all about"

great job mike, thanks for footage....(?next year)

waves, time off, and old friends, makes for a classy trip...cheers
