Does it means that only Kessler and a very few names know how to make good board today??? Where are big companies spending their money if its not R&D????
Crazy world!

What about Hot-Snowboards and Hot Riders in Torino?
Guess, they (? not the Custom made?) are now produced in Spain?
Can anyone refer about changes in quality or Shape? Are they still of the quality my 1998 Blast had been?
They have been used to produce superb Boards. How are they now?
Thanks,
Peter

haven't ridden one for a long time, but reputations is still that the boards are great, even since they moved prod to spain's factory. As for olympics. I know that Isabelle Blanc rides a tomahawk board with hot paintjob

yes
i have read an interview somewhere of IB, and she said she like tomahawk ( but it could have been tropical tube sorry always mix the two names) because she can get protos for not too expensive, and she liked also the quick reaction of the factory.
