How do you design a new ski or a snowboard? How long does it take? When a new material is introduced into the construction how do you know it’ll ride good? What makes good geometry and how do you tweak the shape to give a ride a different feel? There a so many variables that combine to make a shred that Amplid decided it was about to time to bring the black art of ski and snowboard design into the shredding public’s consciousness.
