What length and width is the subdeck and in what ways does it act different from wider (normally marketed) subdecks?

[@mekshiftsnowskates721]

I’m not totally sure it’s probably about 3” wide. It’s a kids ski. With a sub deck that has less width your edges are more sensitive, your turns engage easier and you may hold an edge turning better but there are downsides too. With the skinny ski sub deck you sink easier you can’t ride as deep of snow and it can make grinds in the park very difficult. Can you imagine doing 5050 on 3” ski with no bindings? It’s pretty difficult to board slide too. The fatter sub deck is probably much better in the park. But for carving groomers the little kids ski sub deck works amazingly well.

Thanks! Going out today for first time ever. Using Line Mike Nick 98cm under a 36" deck. They are 4" in middle and about 4.7" wide at tips.

How is this diy?

The sub deck is a kids ski. the top deck is used the whole thing cost me less then 100 to put together. I prefer the way it rides over other snowskates on the market but it’s not available to buy I’ve only out this one together for myself
