Summit Headwall 95cm '09/10
The Evolution of Snowriding Continues
Introducing the all new 2009/10 Summit Headwall 95cm Skiboards.
These are high performance twin tip skiboards perfect for fast turns and stops. Full tip-to-tail wood core provides stability at speed and long lasting skiboards. The Summit Headwall 95cm
features an aluminum reinforcement plate for maximum retention of step-in release bindings. Made for all mountain riding, the wide body shape is great for groomed runs as well as anywhere else,
including crud, ice/hardpack or powder. Summit skiboards are designed with one goal in mind - to take the sport of skiboarding to a new level of performance. Be prepared to push the limits of
what you thought was possible on skiboards. Nothing of this size compares at all to the new Headwall 95.
Handcrafted, one pair at a time, with extreme attention to detail, this season's Summit Headwall 95cm is constructed with a vertically laminated tip-to-tail wood core. The wood is Northern
Hemisphere birch which is very light, yet super strong. Colder temperatures create wood that is denser, thus super strong, while being very light in weight. This wood allows for a smooth flex
throughout the board which is quite different from skiboards made with cheaper materials that tend to "pop" at unexpected moments. The Summit Headwall 95 continues with the same quality construction
Summit has been known for. These are designed with a parabolic sidecut which was constructed to function impeccably with the
solid birch wood core to deliver almost effortless carves and will hold an edge no matter how hard you charge it. The high energy, lively wood core is sandwiched between two layers of triaxial
fiberglass providing just the right combination of flex and torsional stiffness that offers an incredibly smooth ride. In addition, an extra layer of biaxial fiberglass is added to maintain the
smooth tip-to-tail flex allowing just the right carving feel. A layer of rubber dampening makes for additional smooth riding, absorbing those vibrations, but allowing maximum road feel.
More than any skiboards Summit offers, just think and they will turn. Due to their parabolic shape and slightly narrower tail, these Headwall's are truly great carving tools. These are a great
way for beginners as well as seasoned riders to rip it up. The consistent tip to tail flex brings a new level of carving to skiboards, whether in glove dragging lay it over carves or ripping the
moguls. Designed for all mountain riding, these hand crafted skiboards are at home anywhere in the resorts including those breath taking steep chutes or flying through the glades. Edges hold even
on ice.
Summit Headwall 95cm skiboards feature black sintered bases - highly durable bases that allow for maximum wax absorption to ensure a smooth glide, while offering the ability to attain speeds that
are truly impressive. In addition, black bases are easier to repair dings or gouges and bring them back to new looking condition. In contrast, printed bases are much more difficult to hide repairs.
These asymmetrical twin tips were designed for ease of riding whether forwards or backwards or just spinning down the mountain and making yourself dizzy! No mass produced skiboards can compare to
the smooth ride of these, no matter what you choose to do on the slopes.
The 2010 Summit Headwall 95cm skiboards are made to perform whether charging the steeps, hucking cliffs, flying in the parks or just having a fun day on the slopes. Recommended for beginning to
advanced riders and for intermediate riders who are ready to take a quantum leap in their ability level.
Recommended Bindings:
Step-in Release: These can be mounted with any ski or AT bindings.
Non-release: the Headwall 95 cm does not offer inserts for non-release bindings. While these can be installed, we recommend using these with release bindings which they were
designed for.
Construction Details Summary:
Wood core: vertically laminated birch wood core runs the full length of the skiboards, tip to tail, providing a highly responsive energy as well as greater long term durability.
360 full wrap Rockwell carbon steel edges: protects your skiboards from those unexpected dings while providing superior edge grip.
Wide Body Front Tip: a large front skiboard surface area for maximum stability, floatation and speed.
Asymmetrical Twin-tips: makes it easier to ride forwards as well as backwards (fakie). Excellent handling in the parks and pipes. Also, makes for the most perfect carves.
Sintered bases: this is one of the best base materials for durability, maximum wax absorption and speed. These p-tex 4000 bases have less friction and thus more speed as well as less
vulnerability to abrasion and impacts. The Black sintered bases are much easier to repair dings or gouges and bring them back to original looking condition. In contrast, printed bases are
much more difficult to hide any repairs. process.
Duraclear top sheet: protects the silk screen graphics.
Custom fit aluminum reinforcement plate: perfect for those who prefer extra reinforcement to retain their release bindings. This set up provides maximum retention no matter what bindings
you prefer to use.
Base bevel of 1 degree and side bevel of 89 degrees: great for carving with ease.
Sold in Pairs.
Tuning: All Summit Headwall 95cm skiboards come with factory wax, are fully tuned and ready to ride. We recommend using the Skiboards.com Tune kit to maintain your skiboards in optimal condition.
For those of you who like to spin down the mountain, detuning front and rear edges (about 1 inch where it begins to lift off ground) is recommended.
