No deadly avalanches, just soft snow slides in short yet extremely steep lines.
Greetings from RaxSki team, www.raxski.com
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

So you nee a tow from boarders to get over the flat bits
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Well, he is the Extreme Carver (patents pending) and I am just a normal tax payer
For those of you with some aspiration in physics: his contact area is much bigger than mine => less plastic deformation of snow mass, lower friction....
If I had even smaller RaxSki like
@Tom from Austria, so when are you going to design and build the first 'raxed' snowboard?
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Congratulations, iSnowhead! Yes, we could bend one end of board upwards like a radical "rocker" ski and attach Rax fins at both bent edges.
This is how we could get much better carving parameters (no skidding aside) but at the same time we would convert the snowboard in an "one direction" vehicle like wind surfer or airplane. It means the end of the absolute symmetry.
Somebody told me that there were some "one direction" prototypes or even products at the beginning of snowboard history.

Every single carver board is designed with a front and back and not at all symmetrical.
Most powder boards are also not symmetrical as they have a shovel vs a fin.
Nice research!
@Tom from Austria, I have contacted you countless times about meeting up to demo this to me... but you never bother replying.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

@flangesax, Clown shoes would probably give you a fair idea, although they may float better on powder.
After all it is free

Ok, flangesax, I can armour your board with Rax fins, i.e. short yet extremely bent secondary edges.
But first you have to promise me that you will use this Rax board like an airplane, reversing very carefully and slow.
I am sorry for not answering your proposals. I have had no knowledge about

Have a look through your previous posts....
And maybe your inbox/contact info on your site.
By the way, I normally ski... but the idea of attacking my board doesn't fill me with happiness!

Well, an inflatable mattress would float even better on powder, such beating all snow-going vehicles.
So is "float" just an opposite to "direction and speed control".
I am sorry for not being serious...
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

@Tom from Austria, no, no problem, I wasn't being so serious myself.
