TECHNICAL ADVICE – SKI & SNOWBOARD CONSTRUCTION
Fiberglass remains a safe bet, used as a base in the majority of constructions.
Suggested dosage
Snowboard:
- ~600 g/m² top
- ~600 g/m² underneath
→ ex: biax 300 g/m² ×2 or UD 600 g/m²
Skiing:
- ~900 g/m² top
- ~900 g/m² underneath
→ e.g.: UD 600 + biax 300
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
The construction can be adjusted according to the desired behavior:
- Carbon fiber added (100–200 g/m²) → increased stiffness and responsiveness
- Adding linen → more cushioning and comfort
- Fiber mix → balance of performance / tolerance
APPROACH
Fiberglass provides a reliable base, onto which other reinforcements are added depending on:
- the program (freeride, piste, touring)
- the desired level of performance
- the desired sensations
