Summit Marauder 125cm Skiboards 2010

Summit - The Evolution of Snowriding Continues -

Announcing the All New 2010 Summit Custom Marauders.

These new handcrafted Marauders were created 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 Marauder features the same quality construction that Summit is known for. Marauders sport a deep parabolic sidecut constructed to function impeccably with the solid vertically laminated wood core. This delivers virtually effortless carves, with stability at speeds that will truly surprise you. The high energy wood core is sandwiched between layers of fiberglass (triaxial and biaxial) providing just the right combination of flex and torsional stiffness that offers incredible smoothness no matter how much you lay it over. In addition, a rubber dampening layer is included to absorb shock and provide a smooth ride while not detracting from "road feel".

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 skiboards are at home anywhere in the resorts including those breath taking steep chutes or flying through the glade runs. 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 while length allows that familiar skiboard feel.

The Summit Marauder skiboards feature black 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 360 wrap carbon steel edges are integrated into the design.

Crafted with ABS 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.

Construction Details Summary:

Wood core: Specially hand selected verttically laminated birch wood core runs the full length of the skiboards, tip to tail. This aged wood grown in the Northern Hemisphere is especially perfect for skiboards. This is a dense, super strong wood, yet being surprisingly light in weight. This core offers an energetic responsiveness and full body support, 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.

Silk-screened top sheet Custom hand painted design covered by a layer of urethane for extra protection.

Sintered bases: Made of 4000 p-tex sintered material, this is one of the best base materials for durability, maximum wax absorption and speed. These bases have less friction and thus more speed as well as less vulnerability to abrasion and impacts.

Aluminum reinforcement plate: Positioned under the top sheet to guarantee binding retention.

Side bevel - 89 degrees; base bevel 1 degree - perfect for hitting the mountain hard.

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 front and rear tips (about 1 inch around where it leaves the ground) is recommended.
