F Beam
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:49 pm
Here's the "new" design we've been working on and testing - the F Beam. It's reminiscent of the old K-Beam Kryptonics.
Construction is three plies of maple with a center beam of vertical laminate bamboo and a layer of fibreglass. Makes for a nice thin deck with great torsional stability. We can make 'em flexy or stiff - as you wish.
Anyone who's seen me or Scooter or Nicky at a race in the last few months has seen one. After our extensive "testing"
we've come to the conclusion that they're pretty swell. Mine and Nicky's are flat, but Scooter's has concave and a bit of a tail. One is in the works for Sensei Raab which will be concave as well - pics in a few weeks as it comes to be.
