Announcing the All New 2006/07 Summit Skiboards Custom 125cm Marauder
- The Evolution of Snowriding Continues
As always, handcrafted, one pair at a time, with extreme attention to detail, this season's Summit 125 cm Marauder features an aluminum fiber topsheet. This top sheet is not only striking to look at, but offers exceptional durability as well. The Custom 125 is designed with one goal in mind - to take the sport of skiboarding to a new level of performance. Attention powder hounds and speed demons - wait until you ride these boards. Be prepared to push the limits of what you thought was possible on skiboards.
The Summit 125 Marauder is designed with an aggressive parabolic sidecut which was constructed to function impeccably with the solid poplar-hickory combo wood core to deliver almost effortless carves, with stability at speeds that will truly surprise you. The high energy, lively wood core is sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass (triaxial underneath and biaxial on top) providing just the right combination of flex and torsional stiffness that offers incredible smoothness no matter how much you lay it over. A 1mm layer of vibrachoc absorbs shocks, while allowing maximum road feel.
The Summit 125 Marauder aluminum top sheet provides an additional layer of torsional stiffness, is truly eye catching and highly durable. This top sheet also offers greater energy and responsiveness than traditional top sheets, while adding to the smooth perfectly flexing ride.
Being crafted one pair at a time, great attention has been given to every detail, including making sure the flex is evenly distributed throughout the length of the skiboards. This consistent tip to tail flex brings a new level of carving to skiboards, whether in glove dragging lay it over carves or ripping the moguls. Designed for all mountain riding, these custom skiboards are at home anywhere in the resorts including those breath taking steep chutes or flying through the glades. These boards are perfect for those craving the backcountry or even heli-skiboarding! The wide body platform allows you to blast those deep powder stashes with ease, offering awesome floatation.
The Summit Marauder skiboards feature black graphite sintered bases - highly durable bases that allow for maximum wax absorption to ensure a smooth glide, while offering the ability to attain speeds that are truly impressive. In addition, black bases are easier to repair dings or gouges and bring them back to new looking condition. In contrast, printed bases are much more difficult to hide repairs.
These symmetrical twin tips were designed for ease of riding whether forwards or backwards or just spinning down the mountain and making yourself dizzy! No mass produced skiboards can compare to the smooth ride of these 125cm skiboards, no matter what you choose to do on the slopes. To complete the package, special carbon steel edges are integrated into the design.
Crafted with sidewall construction, the Summit 125cm provides many advantages over cap construction. Among these advantages are increased torsional stability, greater edge protection, enhanced power transfer to the edges, improved vibration dampening, greater strength and a full length flex from tip to tail. Translated, these will ride like no other skiboards you have ridden.
Recommended for advanced to expert riders and for intermediate riders who are ready to take a quantum leap.
Recommended Bindings:
• Tyrolia SLD-11 Release Bindings allow full flex of the skiboards (come with free mounting) and allow 3 way boot center adjustment on the fly. Come with wide brakes.
• Black Diamond Fritschi Freeride AT Bindings. Come with wide brakes.
It is not recommended that the Summit Marauder 125 be ridden with non-release bindings.
Construction Details Summary:
• Wood core: specially laminated, hand selected poplar-hickory wood core runs the full length of the skiboards, tip to tail. Made by one of the few remaining masters of ski crafting, these are chosen specifically to deliver an energetic responsiveness while also providing long term durability.
• 360 full wrap Rockwell carbon steel edges, protects your skiboards from those unexpected dings while providing superior edge grip. Edges are sand blasted prior to assembly to ensure a perfect, secure fit.
• Wide Body Shape: a large skiboard surface area for maximum stability, floatation and speed.
• Symmetrical Twin-tips: Makes it easier to ride forwards as well as backwards (fakie). Excellent handling in the parks and pipes. Also, makes for the most perfect carves.
• Aluminum fiber or carbon fiber top sheet to provide lightness with increased torsional stability and smooth flex. Carbon fiber is 3k, 245 grams.
• Graphite Sintered bases: This is one of the best base materials for durability, maximum wax absorption and speed. The p-tex base material is reinforced with 15% carbon and graphite. These bases have less friction and thus more speed as well as less vulnerability to abrasion and impacts. The Black graphite sintered bases are much easier to repair dings or gouges and bring them back to original looking condition. In contrast, printed bases are much more difficult to hide any repairs.
• Duraclear top cover with screen printed graphics.
Tuning: All Summit skiboards come with factory wax, are fully tuned and ready to ride. We recommend using the Skiboards.com Tune kit to maintain your skiboards in optimal condition. For those of you who like to spin down the mountain, detuning edges is recommended.
