That is so sick! Totally a dream of mine to build a snowboard and shape a surfboard...I need to buy a place with a garage ASAP.

Very impressive...You know RipCurl (and many other now successful companies) were started out of a garage...

Hey ETM,

I'll be in Myoko from Feb 15-24th. Don't feel like cruising back down to Honshu and hitting Seki Onsen, or Akakura onsen? As Dreampow said, complete epicness for pow in Nippon this season!

I would love to but its just too much travelling for snow when I will already be up to my neck in it.

Absolutely! I'll be following your progress with this! Probably not one of the first to say I'm putting my hand up if you decide to sell these incredible looking boards!

Dumb question here, do they have edges? My eyes aren't as keen as they used to be and I was thinking to myself "where would one get the material for the edges?".

Those look pretty sweet man, pow killers indeed

ETM · 01-03-2013, 12:27 PM

Yeah they have proper steel edges, bending them is my least favourite part of the job.
I put 003 in the press last night and Im just about to go and pull it out and see how it went, I should have the split in the press by tonight.
