    Got a question for the Voile Master:

    DJ, is it possible now or at any near future time to buy a Mojo-Deck only?

    I dont know what marketing s position is on that but they may want to offer decks only to those of us that have the rest

    And thanks for the friendly note on the last package

    Voile’s position has been to not sell decks only. Decks and hardware have finite lifespans, and by matching new decks/new hardware Voile can circumvent potential warranty issues with old hardware failures on new boards… What if someone bought a Mojo this season second hand at a great price only to find the hardware was ancient? Easier to avoid all of this by offering complete splits only.

    Hope you’re gettin’ some snow Rayster ❗

    Karma Surf …

    Completely unrelated question, but I was curious about Voile’s total production figures. Do you know how roughly how many total splitboards Voile’s produced/shipped? Or how many this year with the Mojo release?

    Thanks.

    Contact Voile directly for any of this type of info- it’s not my specialty. My specialty is sticking my foot in my mouth… 😯

    I can understand voiles stance on selling decks with out hardware, but a lot of split users have skins they can be used on various decks. I believe the new mojo retails for $825 and comes with skins and all the hardware. What if you could get a mojo with out skins or plates for $700. Perhaps voile could consider and option similar to this.

    It’s never a bad idea to have a spare set of skins. Not necessarily in your pack but at least in the car at the trailhead. Personally I have at least one extra of every component on my split, and I have spare pins, screws, t-nuts, discs and other small parts in a tiny bag in my pack along with extra batteries for my beacon etc….

    I’d be willing to buy just the skins from you for $125 and I’d pay shipping.
    let me know. 😉

    UB — Agreed spare parts are always good, I also carry an extra of just about everything I bing in my pack.

    mtnrider, sorry but I don’t have an extra set of skins looking for a pair myself.

    I’m just curious as to how this is different than old bindings on a new solid board or a pair of skis. Doesn’t the company already make “judgement” calls on warrantied items?

    I am assuming you are simply talking about the pucks cause Will’s binding setup is about to make those slider plates obsolete.

    While I am stoked for Will and his bindings – I’m hoping myself to possibly get a set. I seriously doubt ever splitter will be sporting a set. I don’t know, but could Voile void warranty if they choose for running Will’s bindings?
    just curious ❓

    Not this year for sure. It is most definitely the future and I can’t see why anyone would run plates and strap bindings once Will’s bindings are readily available. Paying for plates and pins when you buy a board will be needless.

    I don’t see how providing a warranty for the board with the new binding setup would be any different than solid board manufacturers. How are they currently providing warranties with everyone’s garage built binding franken creations?

    ^^ I’ll still need the pucks to run my k2 clicker bindings, as far as I can tell at least. After 12 years on ’em, I just didn’t want to go back to Regular boots and bindings, Until I saw those………
