Snowboarding....Because gravity is cheaper than gas
Default

The decks have a beech/poplar core, and the rest is 100% carbon construction. Carbon fiber is weaker because of the glass fibers in it. Both broken boards are in Austria with Hansel Kessler (WC ski and snowboard designer) and the head engineer being cut apart. Out of all the decks made, I am the only person to break them so I am in close contact with the company right now to figure out what happened. However, my practice deck (which is identical) has been thru easily 3x the abuse and hasn't failed yet.
