All our skis have a sandwich
construction, with a 100% tip to
tail vertically laminated wood
core plus added ABS beneath
the b indings.
The "sandwich " is mode of
severa l layers one on lop of
each other, the main one being
the woodcore, which enables
us to set the Hex of the skit
depending on its p rogramme.
The woodcore is boxed inside
a libreglass sock, c reating a
torsion b o x. Then I or 2 toyers
(depending on the model) of
fibreg lass are placed on top
of the torsion box, and 2 layers
beneath 11 .
The base and the edges are
underneath , and the printed
topsheet is on top, and ABS
sidewalls finish the waterproof
protection of the woodcore on
the sides.
