i've been thinking about noboard design, and i would like to build my own, kinda like Wolle did. Except, i'd like to make a twin-tip, so that you could do shuvits and stuff in the pow.
Wake skates operate on basically the same principle as noboards, and i think that a longer wakeskate-shape would be perfect, reverse camber, reverse sidecut, and a low-profile tip and tail. Maybe about 150 to 155 cm long... bloody hell. this is going to get crazy soon with skate tricks on noboards. i've seen vids of dudes doing shuvits and kickflips on the little snow-skateboards things in summer parks, but it's going to be mental seeing someone do tricks off natural terrain

can you imagine kids doing 360 shuvits off of pillow lines? THAT will be rad.

Maybe about 150 to 155 cm long... There are a few different types of wakeskates now. Last summer i rode one where the deck was elevated about and inch or 2. the bottom deck that actually rode on the water had more of the design your talking about. Reverse camber and reverse sidecut, and the top deck was basicly a large skateboard deck. I will see if I can find a pick and the company that makes it.

you won't be able to do anything but straight airs unless you ditch the leash though.

sick pics  so what proportion of time are you guys spending on nobards vs snowboards? well, I only ride the noboard on pow days. It usually depends on how quick spots get tracked out. last sat I did 4 long runs, the next day I was tired and only did 2 quick ones. ie get up on first lift, do a couple of laps and then switch to the snowboard
