New! Ski Cores and Sidewalls

New! Ski Cores and Sidewalls

At Action Sports we carry a variety of ski materials - ski cores, ski core blanks, tip fill and sidewall materials.

We have chosen to work primarily with Aspen, Poplar and Maple as the raw lumber in our cores. Aspen and Poplar exhibit both low specific gravity (weight) and high strength to weight ratio. Aspen is slighlty lighter, Poplar machines cleaner and is slightly stronger, while Maple is chosen for cores where light weight is not paramount but the ultimate strength and "pop" are desired.

Coming in December are Pre tapered cores and sidewalls where the core and sidewall thickness comes pre-tapered so all you have to do is cut your custom ski shape - no more core tapering jigs! We have offered these pre-tapered cores for snowboards for more than 10 years and now we offer them for skis as well!

New!! Thickness tapered Ski core blank A - 160cm x 32cm vertically laminated poplar blank with thickness taper for typical skis (9mm thick middle, 2mm on ends). Can be used for skis a few cm shorter or longer than the supplied size. Shorter results in stiffer flex, longer with additional tip fill will result in slightly softer flex. Different glass layups can also change flex, contact us for details. Note: if you want to order 3 or more cores please email us for shipping rates. Our shipping carriers use volumetric weight and we can usually get better rates than the store calculates for orders of 3 or more cores. 1 - 2 cores gives accurate shipping. Shipping for cores can be a bit pricey because they charge for 30lbs "oversize" due to the size of the box.
