As a avid skiboarder and promoter of it everywhere I go, I feel that the perfect skiboard, for a girl like me (average stats) does not exist.
this would be the board for me:
Length: 92-96
Width(tip/waist/tail): 14.0-14.5/10.0-11.0/14.0-14.5
Turning Radius: 490-560
Weight: 8-10lbs
Great flex
Tip height (tip/tail): 4.5-5.0/4.5-5.0
Graphics: think Roxy stuff, anything pinks with browns & purples, blues & greens; Hibiscus and other cool fun stuff.
Bottom cool Graphics a must but need to keep the lighter background or black!
then the basics of course;
Sintered
Sidewall
4 hole
wood core
metal bindings
all mountain board for me and my stats and riding styles and look.
Basically, this would be a first skiboard designed for the average girl skiboarder.
Now keep in mind, I am not a board maker or know all the technical stuff with ratios and weights etc for boards, but it certainly appears to not be any high performance skiboards with these specs. I have put in ranges for the spec for leway. Maybe these specs just would't work for boards therefore non made? Maybe the market doesn't want these specs and graphics? I dunno. I know what I want, I know what I can do and capable of doing, just need the right skiboards.
I know, I know you all are thinking that any board will be awsome, which is really true, but not really what 'm looking for.
Someone needs to step up and design a real high performace chick skiboard such as Revel. I think there is enough of us out there to fullfill that request? If I am way off here, no problem my bad. Skiboarding is far superior over skiing and snowboarding hands down! I promote it every time I go to the slopes, peole see us and always ask about our rides and I tell them all I can and to go online to SBOL and yes I suggest the other site too. But SBOL is truely the best right now.
