Is it possible that Swoard boards from Nidecker manufacturing same "lose camber quickly"?

Post by **nils** » Monday 17 September 2007, 17:38

Camber loss is due usually to poor quality cores ( foam mostly, like in the Rossignol VAS foam series)... am not sure its the case in all of Nidecker production... the new titanal alpine series have wood cores that seem ok from what we saw....

We are using since the beginning of our history special cores made for us ... We never used cheap cores and there is no risk of loosing it

.. Price of the cores we are using is pretty high and we even noticed the ash fibers were not properly oriented in some of the part by test riding the boards... ( now how many shapers can feel this on the snow

... Now we are back to the best cores available

and we never had a problem regarding camber life

.

Hope this answers your question

Nils,
do you think that this year there will be enough board to try & buy at ECS?

Post by **nils** » Thursday 18 October 2007, 8:10

answer is yes

We will try to see how we can bring boards to the ECS too ( appart from the demos which we will have in bigger quantities)...but it should be no problem

To all Swoard-lovers:

Swoard should spend Nidecker a nice Swoard-Sticker for the Racks (see photo in top)

So I hope, there is no fire at the factory till delivery of the boards!

Usualy Nidecker boards comes out to store with slightly camber.

The last series of Nidecker Asy's Concept had about only 4-5 mm.
The longer Custom GS (183cm) bevor 07/08 had only about 9.7-10.3 mm, but they have a weight of only 3.14 kg / 111 Ounces (@ 183.5 cm / 72 Inches), perhaps cause of the missing air below the board!
(Or because they manage to make some extraordinary cores with theire unique ultrasonic wood selection system)
