Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy FullSend Skis?
Honestly, these skis aren't for everyone. We aren't trying to build the best ski for everyone, but instead, we are trying to build the best ski for ourselves.
What's with the wood?
Wood veneer is the standard base option for our skis for three reasons: One is we can source it locally and not have to order it in; two is it looks very unique and makes the skis stand out; three is it wears better then plastic over time, allowing the the customer to send the skis back to us for refinishing or refinish the skis themselves with a little sanding and linseed oil (something you can't do to plastic skis).
What flex should I go with?
Generally, if you are unsure of what flex to choose, we recommend staying with the standard medium flex. This flex covers a broad range of skier abilities and styles of riding. If you want to do micro adjustments to the flex via carbon fiber and Kevlar, we can tailor the flex profile to your specifications.
What length should I choose?
Our skis effective edge doesn't exceed 152cm, so don't be afraid to size up to 185cm skis or 172cm. Generally, sizing up 10cm from a traditionally cambered ski to a ski with either a rocker camber rocker profile or a rocker flat rocker profile is a safe bet. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email!
What rocker camber profile should I choose?
For a more traditional skiing style, we recommend choosing our rocker-camber-rocker profile where the more the rider pushes the ski into a turn, the more the ski will respond energetically to propel the rider into the next turn.
​
For riders that like a more new-school/swerve approach to skiing, we recommend choosing our rocker-flat-rocker profile where the rider dictates the turn shape and style and tends to ride the side cut between turns.
​
Generally speaking, adding camber helps with groomed and hard-pack snow performance, while a flat-rocker ski helps with powder skiing.
Why is the wait time so long?
Each pair of skis, snowlerblades, and snowboards are made to order, by hand, in our workshop. We are focused on producing quality, not quantity. We believe, it will be worth the wait to receive your custom skis, snowlerblades, or snowboard.
Do you make snowboards?
Absolutely! Just send us an email to learn more.
