Summit Marauder 125cm Skiboards

Summit - The Evolution of Snowriding Continues!

Announcing the All New 2007/08 Summit Custom Marauders. As always, handcrafted, one pair at a time, the Summit 125 cm Marauder features a custom painted silkscreened top sheet covered by a urethane top sheet for durability and UV protection. Design is specially painted by Rebecca Koeppen, a talented local Southwest Colorado artist to capture the feel of the majestic, magical mountains of this area plus the symbolism in inherent in the name "marauder".

The Summit Marauder 125cm was 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 is designed with an parabolic sidecut which was constructed to function impeccably with the solid vertically laminated wood core to deliver almost 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 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 also! 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.

Recommended Bindings
Step-in ReleaseThe all new Tyrolia SLD-11 Release Bindings (shown on left) allow full flex of the skiboards (come with free mounting) and allow 3 way boot center adjustment on the fly so you can move your boots back on powder days. Includes wide brakes at no extra charge. Bindings fit boot sizes 8-16 US. NOTE: Indicate in the comments section if you would like us to mount the Tyrolias with forward boot center position on bindings at dead center on the skiboards which then allows two back positions from center.

Frtischi Freeride BindingsThese bindings are excellent not only for downhill performance but allow backcountry access with their 3 position free heel for ease of climbing uphill.

Bindings Note: We can install inserts in these skiboards to fit the Spruce Mountain Risers for an additionall fee. If you need us to do this, please contact us or make note in the comments section and we will contact you.

It is not recommended that the Summit Marauder 125 be ridden with non-release bindings.

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.

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.
