How do I know? Because it is finally snowing now. Put these pictures in your head, because you will not gonna see it like this again for a while.
I am really happy to present my new sponsor, it is a brand from New Zealand with the finest merino wool that looks great as well. I have already put some of the gear to the ultimate test with long hikes and multiple days in the same shirt and I love it. It stays so fresh. Check out their collection at Monsroyale.com. Cheers Maarten
After riding 3 years on a lame noodle, I decided to cut one myself. I choose the Flow WX 163 2009/2010, because it is an aggressive board that loves speed and big drops. I first measured the exact halve of the board, cutted the edges on the nose and tail, then I clamped a wooden guide on it for my Jigsaw. ( A little bit of magnetraction doesn’t matter).
After cutting the board I sealed the wooden core with 5 layers of a boat varnish. Then I measured my stance, 58cm width and +3° on the back foot and +21° on the front foot, I then drilled all the insert for the voile kit and screwed it together. After that I filled up the holes of the board with a 2 component base repair stuff which I got from the local ski shop and then I put circles of base material over it. I am pretty stoked with the result, the connection is mega tight and the flex still feels great.
I just need to service it now, after that I’ll get back with an update.
