DIY Bamboo Ski Kit – Simple & Effective Construction
Easily design your own pair of bamboo skis with this complete kit, designed for accessible manufacturing without compromising on performance.
Bamboo offers a major advantage: naturally rot-resistant, it can be used as edging over steel edges. No ABS is needed, which greatly simplifies manufacturing. Simply cut, profile, and press.
