Bevel Angles?
Hi All,
This is my first season boarding. I did my first tail grab yesterday - just giving you some perspective on my ability. So far this year has been very icy and groomed conditions only, no powder. My board is a Morrow Lithium 159, and I weigh 180lbs. Edges currently are not beveled. I am having a little bit of trouble on carving turns, especially toe side - sometimes edges are catching ever so slightly. I took my board in to get it beveled 1 degree on base and 1 degree on side. Is this suitable for someone like me? Thanks, Larry |

If it's still catching, maybe you can get it detuned a little in the tip and tail. That involves slightly rounding off the edge. This is a compromise between ease of use and edge grip. Your shop may have already done it though - they often do it unless you explicitly ask them not to. Neil |
