So… this is a Technique ? Is it a necessary function ? or a Style ? Is it helping Response time into transitions or slowing it down?

Interesting... I was surprised at the circular arm movement before each turn, I have seen it, on the Heelside only before, I think this is a Learned technique? normally? One tries to reduce unnecessary Arm movements, it is a Key for this rider however, who is a Good Carver...

YeeHawwwwwww...Best Pow day so far, of the Season

77 Well nice short little Saturday surf session... We always love, having some fellow Cold Surfers here, at Milkland Lisa, Sari, Mats and Tom, now that's a lot of Carves...

Sorry I missed You and Lisa again, though I know the 4 of you, went Powder Hounds Next time...

angles 30 f 6 b ? what bindings? what stick ? Nice turns

Oh, that was Good... very few people around

Thanks !! another Good Dose... Looks like no natural Snow over there?

Uh Huh... triple over head...this section of Sundial, I call Cloudbreak... I get this frontside floater, into a backside bottom turn, into another frontside floater...

74 Awesome to get to spend some time, out in the Fields...

of course the main difference is Toe Edge as it removes most of the Ankle flex to the lower leg, though the Heel is also more powerful from the added lateral flex support, of a top strap...

Oh Yea, that was Wonderful JB was smiling too

some nice shots Pipe and Backdoor...

Thought I would share... the Union "Force" binding with a Bolted High back and an added Leather top strap...

2 Skiers and a Boarder meeting up yesterday...

Yea, pretty nice this morning...

Take All the Snowboards ever made, less than 1% represents Alpine Racing equipment...it was never a war...it was over from the minute the Skateboarders took over...all the "Instructors" were Instructed, Thrasher, Transworld sealed the Deal...last couple of years? actually the Movement to SB Carving has been pretty dramatic...still probably less than 10% Equipment wise? All the more reason to give Fin and Jack a shout out and a big Thanks for keeping a Focus on the Alpine side through this Forum... the 1st edition set the Edge in the Fall of 87...It was going to be Tricks and Air, patterned after Skateboarding...

I built our sons skateboard ramp in 88... He has been Duck since then, but he was following others, Burton guessed wrong and changed his tune... https://www.snowboarder.com/transworld-snowboarding-archive/a-complete-history-of-the-snowboard-halfpipe

We need or don't need to remember, Sims, Ski Cooper in Leadville, Thrasher and Transworld is where Duck came from, Skateboarders...I was there, I saw it happen

just having fun...really shows the Potential of these Foils

Sweet, the Waves have been really Good grooming early morning ads some nice offshore...
