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

That's pretty standard, you should be fine.

Yes, that's a good tune for you. 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.
