F Beam

Post by Ron Barbagallo » Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:49 pm

Here's the "new" design we've been working on and testing - the F Beam. It's reminiscent of the old K-Beam Kryptonics.

Construction is three plies of maple with a center beam of vertical laminate bamboo and a layer of fibreglass. Makes for a nice thin deck with great torsional stability. We can make 'em flexy or stiff - as you wish.

Anyone who's seen me or Scooter or Nicky at a race in the last few months has seen one. After our extensive "testing" ;) we've come to the conclusion that they're pretty swell. Mine and Nicky's are flat, but Scooter's has concave and a bit of a tail. One is in the works for Sensei Raab which will be concave as well - pics in a few weeks as it comes to be.

Thanks guys!

Donald - I'm a big fan of your riders as well as your boards/trucks ;) Dom, Eddy, Cat, Pirnack - all top notch folks in my book. You have great representation!

Claude, Harmsy, Rick - you all know where you stand with me. Hopefully upwind, right?

I saw this board at Dixie last year and was very impressed with the construction on it. All it needs to be completed is a Leif Garrett sticker on the bottom.
