Hi together,
I just checked out your site ...... It has gotten verry nice and I really enjoed the pictures. The things you write about your board are basically the same thoughts that led to the pureboarding #one board. It has to be wider, it needs mutch more torsion stiffness without beeing stiff and so it allows nice angles to ride. Pureboarding preferes 55 in front and about 25-30 in the back.
So basically both are looking in the same direction.
Keep on going with your site!

Sobasically both are looking in the same direction.

We see many riders who don't understand why they fall when they try to carve "extremely" with their narrow boards and high angles, the feet touching the snow...
The ski industry took 40 years to understand how to make skis which can be really driven in the curves I hope that the snowboard industry won't take 40 years to understand the importance of what we are talking here
