Title says it. I have seen this come up many times and would just like to know what it means.

I don't know if this is right but from what my invaders are doing I believe it is when that top plastic layer peels off your skis then water gets into the core of the ski. Then it is all downhill from there. Like i said I'm probably wrong so if this is completely wrong sorry

So you mean when by the rivets at the top (or bottom) start to get gaps in between the bottom and the top?

That sounds right from what I know. The layers of your ski start to seperate and fall apart, starting with the top sheet...I think.

Rivets are the screw type things that skis have usually 3 at the top and 1 at the bottom right?

not all skis have rivets. thats how they are on enemies, yes, but on my skis its 2 in the front one in the tail, and on like spks its 3 in each, its all dependent, my other skis dont even have them.

and yea, like everyone else has been saying, delamming is when th layers of the ski seperate, and it can make the ski unskiable very fast, happened to a pair of mine, andit sucked
