So its summer time and I have nothing better to do, so I have been thinking what would be the perfect ski for me? Well after some time I came up with this. I'm 6 feet tall and 185lbs.

length - 192

tip - 152  mid - 124    tail - 144

rocker - tip/tail - 50/48cm

height of rocker -  tip/tail 8/7cm

flex - soft tip, fairly stiff underfoot, and tail med/soft.

tip and tail taper

mount point one back from true center.

go to the site, read about how the guy makes them, it's worth the read. I don't think they're junky but you should make your own opinion.

for some reason the hyperlink isnt work for me but
www.skibuilders.com is the place to go.
make your own yourself and be super proud
i did and i was super proud but that was when i was 16. now im 18 and grew wayyyy out of em then snapped them.
so build your own if i could do it at 16 you can do it and your i big dude doubt youl get much bigger so if you made a pair youd be set
