Makboard Snowboard

Does it have metal edges? Does it need to be waxed?

apparently no metal edges. Makralon? http://www.makboard.com/faqs.php
and no hot waxing, just rub-on

boards that are totally recyclable? good. but the prospect of a board without edges is scary. do they offer a reason they decided to go without ‘em? and the fact that these guys use a single material, instead of multiple materials means one of two things: they found the miracle fiber OR they created a high-tech version of wooden skis of more than a century ago.

So can you ride switch on a makboard? It seems like there are holes in the back but not the front- how does that affect the switch ride?

The site suggests that the Board can be sharpened on the edges and the poly is capable of holding an edge much like steel. I don’t doubt the possibility.

I want to buy one, but the website and phone number don’t work.

Can they be used in the terrain park? or just in the powder and mountains?

I have a Mak and the only thing good about the board is that it looks cool and that’s about it. Yes you can tune the edges but if you get a gash on the edge you are pretty much toast. As far as waxing…You pretty much have to do it every other run unless you are having an all powder run day. Here is the kicker, by definition a snowboard without a metal edge is considered a saucer and not a board. I’ve ridden my Mak in a few of the resorts in Tahoe and 3 out of the 5 resorts they pulled me aside to have a chat with me. Just not worth the hassle.

i have a makboard it came from my dads shop to get mine my dad works at lexilight.

“3 out of 5 resorts pulled me aside…”
Out of curiosity, what did they chat with you about? The lack of a metal edge?

Nice to see people are still interested in this board 3 years later. It seems like an excellent board to goof around with. Junnie, do you feel the board is worthless on groomed mountains. Ice Coast riding
