Splitboard.com Forums

I build every Year a new splitboard for me ( some times more 2 ,3 ,4 ) .
this year i build a 2 pice board .....
This Board has the Voile holes and a kind of the first burton hooks .


wood sidewalls, inside out side . closed with WAX. No inside edges

the core is a mix version as pappel, eschen wood , the board is ok for +85 kg rider wight.
upper and lower belts are special , mix as 0° and 35 ° glas +carbon + (arramid only in the upper 0°) - the top layer carbon 2/2 köper binding is a funktional layer - not as topsheat, but a funktional topsheat. back to the simpel thing s - not more than you need.
The board has a rocker nose shape ..The wight is complett: 3900 g
Fakt: running 168cm radius 8,5m nose wide 31 waist 26,5 tail 30 camber under feet 5mm

Beautiful work there burton. I would like to see some of the equipment used to build it such as the press. Also what did you use to seal the carbon topsheet.

i build my first press years ago - it works with air. every year the evolution goes a step forward ...in this year i can press dirfrent X contor shapes convex concarve... for the topsheat finish i youse geelcoat at the top layer , in one step , no clear colur as topshaet

Nice job, marcus. Looks killer! let us know how it rdeds.

Love that pow board you've got in the press. Show us a picture?

Burton,

You build some great looking boards
That's definitely NOT wurstsalat!


What material are your air bladders constructed of? A coworker and I are sourcing materials to build a press and
have planned on using lengths of fire hose? Any thoughts on this?

Sweet looking board!!!

Thx boarding peopel for the + feedback.
the board in front of the press is a mix board - pintail and longboard - this thing had a flow like a feather. build in the winter 2006

as a Wax Top


ore as 3 pice construktion

Burton.. you have the coolest board collection

but i can only ride one board - this is allwas my problem.

Thats awesome. I'm about to start work on my own board too. I'm probably going to go with a vacuum press though.

Cool burton. I got something cooking too. But its still in the design phase. I still haven't totally committed to building a press. I may start with a vacuum bag if I can find a cheap enough vacuum pump. Otherwise I might be better off building this.

I have built a few vacuum systems now and to be honest...
The press is by far a better way to go. Fire hose lengths seem to hold up the best.
Nice board Burton!!!

Nice collection! What are the specs on #3 (red)? Looks like some kind of Fish.
