Concave base
Just a general question: there is so much talk on BomberOnline on boards that have a concave base that it makes me believe that there is something wrong on that continent.....
I never had a concave board and never even seen one.
Anyone of you expereinced anything like this? Is this a production issue? Is this a result of a misuse?

Damn, I always forget what is concave and what is convex () or )(.
I probably could imagine if they talk about concarve boards.

concave bases
It happens, even with the best brands...
it is one on of the most difficult thing to do when making a snowboard ( the flat base)
a small concave within 1 mm is no issue for riding, when it becomes too deep, it can lead to edge hooking and hard to release from turns board...The worst is a board that gets concave or twist during its riding life.
The problem with concave base is they are difficult or impossible to grind properly..

They even make them with a double concave in it!

Unreal...checking your link I ended up finding the new baby from POGO: the 230cm Maverick (swallow tail) for just 1979€... I guess our conversation about expensive producers can be viewed on a totally different light now...

The one you have mentioned here is a very rare board which is build in very small quantities. Can't remember a swallow tail that long from another brand and in this quality.Silber wrote:Unreal...checking your link I ended up finding the new baby from POGO: the 230cm Maverick (swallow tail) for just 1979€...

By the way:
POGO can in no way be compared to other boardmakers. Those boards are among the best build quality, most durable boards in the world money can buy (just my 2 cents). The other POGOboards in the productionline are under the € 1.000,--.
We are getting far from the original topic, but 2 weeks ago in Kaprun I saw a pair of skis for EUR 45,000..... no kidding.... it had diamonds on it..... 5 pairs were prepared altogether and that was the only pair in Austria..... don't even remember the brand.... now that is reall crazy...
