Hi,
I need to purchase skins for a splitboard. my board is a DIY with Voile setup. I'm wondering if anyone have fitted splitboard with 'Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS'? rather then buying the ones ready from Voile.

I have a good deal on a 140mm skins and I can actually save more then $50 compare to the voile set. I seem to recall a quick snapshot in the movie "Deeper" where someone was fitting (cutting and all) new skins onto their board. It doesn't seem like a big deal to do. but is there anything I need to watch for?

Thanks in advance.

You need to cut off and refix the tip connectors on the right angle as the ski angle wont work with a split. But defiantly doable. I used the g3 skins like this before the splitboard version came out.

The shot in deeper is just trimming new tractor skins. Even if you buy the regular splitboard tractor skins from voile you still neeed to do that at least. You just won't have to re-rig the tip clip.

Thanks for the info guys. I figured that I'll need to adjust the angle on the tips and do some trimming.
Should I get a trimmer from BD or would any exacto knife would do?

I cut my skins just like the picture at the bottom... http://www.akcustomsplitboards.com/accessories.html

You need to drill out the aluminum rivets on the tail piece and re-cut and re-rivet, that paired with the G3 twin tip connectors you get a super solid setup!
