www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Historical video of some of Mike's earlier work. I know it is not snowboarding but with Mike being a builder of snowboards. I thought " Off Topic or Videos" .

nils Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) I was a windsurfing addict in the late 80's and remember seeing Mike's work in magazines, allowing the variable lift during turns..If I recall well it was mostly used on HT boards, but I think I remember also people using it on speed guns, maybe it was Craig Maisonville's boards?( think of another guy with Laird Hamilton's build)....I think the system was considered a bit fragile, difficult to fiberglass then too. It is anyway a great concept that is still under research on the water: Mick Mackie in australia is working on flexible tails using carbon fibered tails with almost no thickness... I have no had the chance to ride Tinkler's snowboard, would love to feel how it works! Thnx Brian for the share, interesting!
