Summit Custom 110cm '07

Announcing the 2006/07 Summit Skiboards Custom 110cm
- The Evolution of Snowriding Continues

As always, handcrafted, one pair at a time, with extreme attention to detail, this season's Summit Custom 110 cm feature a distinct as well as functional aluminum fiber top sheet. This top sheet is not only striking to look at, but offers exceptional durability as well. The Custom 110 is designed with one goal in mind - to take the sport of skiboarding to a new level of performance. Be prepared to push the limits of what you thought was possible on skiboards.

The Summit Custom 110 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 Custom 110 comes in an aluminum fiber top sheet. We chose this topsheet because it adds an additional layer of torsional stiffness, is truly eye catching and highly durable. The top sheet also offers greater energy and responsiveness than traditional top sheets, while adding to the smooth perfectly flexing ride. The fiberglass layers were adjusted to blend perfectly with the aluminum fiber top sheet to deliver a flex that is just right. As a result, these are incredibly stable at speed and definitely carve it up, whether cruising in powder, on hardpack or ice!

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 Custom 110's are the perfect ascent skis when venturing into the backcountry - providing an ease in climbing, so light you hardly notice them on your feet, combined with the perfect design for ripping your line down the slopes. The wide body platform allows you to blast those deep powder stashes with ease, offering awesome floatation.

Summit Custom 110 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 Custom 110 skiboards, no matter what you choose to do on the slopes. To complete the package, special carbon steel edges are integrated into the design as well as 4 stainless steel inserts in a centered position for maximum flexibility to position your bindings the way you choose to ride.

Crafted with sidewall construction, the Custom 110 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 Release:
• Spruce Mountain Risers/C509 Bindings (fits 4 hole insert mount).
• Tyrolia LD-12 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.

Custom 110 and Recommended Non-Release Bindings: The Custom 110 can be mounted with non-release bindings as well such as the Snowjam Extreme II or Bomber Elite bindings. Bomber Elite Skiboard non-release bindings are recommended for those seeking maximum performance as the Elite bindings bring out the full potential of these skiboards (4 hole mount). Extreme II bindings are a great, more affordable alternative with all aluminum construction including toe levers. (4 hole mount)

A note about the Custom 110cm and non-release bindings: While there are currently no specific guidelines or laws preventing the use of non-release bindings on skiboards even up to 140cm, the longer length skiboards when used with non-release bindings do increase the risk of injury. Should you choose to use non-release bindings with the Custom 110, you do so at your own risk knowing full well that there is the chance of serious injury.

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.
• Centered stance: 4 stainless steel inserts are centered within each skiboard, in a standard 40 X 40mm skiboard binding mount pattern. A centered stance gives you greater flexibility in customizing your preferred riding position. This also increases the retention strength of the bindings and allows for quick and accurate mounting, making it easy to interchange with other 4 hole pattern bindings.
• 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 top sheet provides lightness with increased torsional stability and smooth flex.
• 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.
