Lovin’ the down under stoke! But where are the splitters??? 😕

i’m waiting for my kit to arrive 🙁

i have a board ripe for the chop chop

just to make sure you don’t doubt i’m joining the split world

well i just cut my Board 🙁

i guess i should add we don’t get the flufy dry snow you northerns get

so everything is pretty wet & solid at snow level

Just seems that the inner boot retains alot of moisteur even between riding events after i leave them out to dry etc

therefore inner sole and socks get saturated very quickly

i was hoping there was a specific brand/model that made a more breathable soft boot

just got back from another 4 day trip

will post pics & vid soon in a new thread

a question i have with filing the edge of the Ptex 45 degrees on the inside cut edge

i’m assuming this is to stop the edge chipping and therefore prolonging the life of the board

is it just the ptex edge that you file and how much do you guys take off??

btw

i don’t know of any split boarders in Australia atm

a few of my mates are using “slow…[Read more]
