What Is a Veneer Saw?

Veneer refers to a wood material obtained by spinning or planing logs with a thickness of about 1 mm, which is used to make artificial boards such as plywood.

1. Size and hardness considerations:

A Length: Generally speaking, the longer the veneer, the more stable it is for high-speed taxiing, and the shorter the board, the more flexible it is, suitable for use in parks and props. But which range is more appropriate? Presumably everyone already has a certain understanding. Stand up the board, no higher than your nose, and no lower than your shoulders. Someone may ask here, isn't it between the chin and the nose? BOARDZONE here refers to the length dedicated to playing props (almost all foreign PROs have two lengths, respectively, for high-speed taxis such as large jump platforms or mountains that require speed, and short boards used in parks and props) ). The shortest length for prop movements is suitable around the shoulders.

B "Width: Generally speaking, the board selected according to height is basically suitable in width, but some players with larger feet may find that the board is long enough and not wide enough (the standard is to place the holder and boots in a customary angle. Later, if there are too many parts that are wider than the board surfacefor example, all five feet are outsidethe board is not wide enough, and it is easy to cause accidents when the board cannot slide normally when sliding. Note, however, that boots and retainers that are slightly wider than the board are normal.

C Hardness: When choosing a veneer, hardness is also a key choice. In general, the harder the board is, the more stable it is at high speeds, suitable for maintaining speed. The softer the board is, the easier it is to complete the fancy action in FREESTYLE. You should choose different hardness according to your favorite way of sliding. One thing that BOARDZONE wants to remind everyone here is also often overlooked: the body weight also plays a big role in choosing different hardness types. For people of the same height, the heavier the board, the harder the board should be used, while the lighter one can choose the softer board. General veneer companies have different standards on the different products introduced, indicating their suitable taxiing methods and player weights, etc., everyone should pay attention to reference when choosing. Because different companies have different standards for different models, BOARDZONE will not list them here.

2. Material and modeling considerations:

The character and gliding feeling of a veneer are largely determined by two factors, the material and the shape. These two aspects are also areas where major companies frequently use new technologies to compete fiercely for the market.

A Materials: The inner core (CORE), interlayer, top layer (TOP SHEET) and bottom layer (BASE) of a single board have different characteristics due to the use of different materials.

Most of the CORE uses wood or carbon fiber. Depending on the advancement of technology, different types of wood are introduced to achieve lightweight requirements. Wood construction with different hardness and weight). ARBOR launched the bamboo CORE veneer under the slogan of more durable, lighter and more environmentally friendly.

Mezzanine: Most companies are using fiberglass (FIBER GLASS), which produces different gliding personality through different placement and staggered levels of the fiber.

Top layer: Doesn't the pattern look good? Not necessarily, some veneer tops pay more attention to anti-slip, and some pay more attention to anti-coagulation (to avoid the trouble of skiing down the snow on the top of the snowboard one day).

Bottom layer: Different materials used by different companies have their own advantages here, some are fast when taxiing, some are more durable, not easily scratched by snow, and some even maintain their speed without waxing.

B Styling: The shape of the veneer is a big science, from the angle of the cut edge to the effective edge length (EFFECTIVEEDGES), from the width of the board waist to the shape of the board head, for the sake of simplicity (of course, interested friends can Tell BOARDZONE that we will launch a special article on veneer styling for you to analyze carefully. We will temporarily divide the veneer into two types, FREERIDE and FREESTYLE. Two of the two styles are the most significant differences.

a> EFFECTIVEEDGES (Effective Edge Length):

The obvious difference between FREESTYLE and FREERIDE is that the ratio of the length of the FREESTEYLE board on EFFECTIVEEDGES is smaller. Intuitively, the FREESTEYLE board looks more convex and concave, and the FREEERIDE is more straight. The purpose of this is to make FREEESTYLE boards have less side contact with snow than FREEERIDE boards on the snow, so players can do more BUTTER and turn movements without eating because the effective side is too large Snow is out of control. The FREEERIDE board has a longer EFFECTIVEEDGE. Through a larger contact length with the snow, the taxi is more stable and powerful, and the turn can be very fast and accurate.

b> DIRECTIONAL and TWINTIP design:

The so-called DIRECTIONAL means that the board head and board position of the board are not suitable for alternate use. This design is to strengthen the part needed in FREEERIDE to ensure absolute stability and control sensitivity at high speed. TWINTIP is naturally the choice of FREESTYLE players. The purpose of the design is to allow players to perform anti-skid and more fancy actions without fear.
