Kodwa kukho izinto ezintsha ezininzi kwisixhobo ngasinye esiphucula ukusebenza kokukhwela kunye nobunzima beebhodi esizibona kwiimarike namhlanje, "utshilo uNjineli oMkhulu woYilo eBurton Snowboards, uScott Seward.

Enye yezona ndawo zibalulekileyo kwibhodi yakho ngundoqo. Ininzi eyakhiwe ngamaplanga - iindidi ezahlukeneyo zitshintsha indlela yokukhwela.

Abavelisi abaninzi bade basebenzise iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokhuni kumbindi omnye. Umzekelo, iibhodi zeLib Tech zineentlobo ezintathu ezahlukeneyo zomthi. Abanye abavelisi bakha i-foam cores. Abakhi baqingqa iintsimbi, ngokungathi kunjalo.

Thinner apho ufuna ubhetyebhetye ngakumbi kwaye ungqindilili apho ungafuniyo. Ngokungafaniyo ne-hamburger, akufanele ubone undoqo webhodi yakho. “Ukuba umthengi ukhe awubone undoqo, ngoko bendiwenza ngendlela engalunganga umsebenzi wam,” utshilo uSeward.

"Ishizi kunye nebhekoni" kwi-burger imele iileya ze-fiberglass. Ezi maleko zefiberglass zinefuthe kumgangatho wokukhwela webhodi yakho.

Iibhodi eziphezulu zihlala zineentambo zekhabhoni - imicu encinci ye-carbon fiber eqhuba ubude bebhodi ukwenzela ukuqina okongeziweyo kunye ne-pop.

I-epoxy igubungela ibhodi kwaye iyenze ibe yinto epheleleyo. Asithethi ngetyhefu ye-epoxy yexesha elidlulileyo: i-Organic epoxy yenye yezinto ezitsha zamva nje kwiinkampani ezifana neLib Tech kunye neBurton.

Musa ukukujongela phantsi ukubaluleka kwe-epoxy njengoko ibamba ibhodi kunye kwaye izisa umlingiswa ebomini.

Emva kwengubo yesibini ye-epoxy, ibhodi ilungele i-topsheet. Nje ukuba yongezwe, umphezulu ubekwe kubumba kwaye ibhodi icinezelwe kuyo, zonke iileya zidityaniswe kunye kunye neprofayili yecamber yebhodi iseti.

Ngelixa umatshini oqinileyo ubalulekile ekwakheni iibhodi zekhephu, kukho ubugcisa obuninzi obubandakanyekayo. USeward wathi: “Inkoliso yabantu iyamangaliswa bubuninzi bomsebenzi wezandla obandakanyekileyo.

Ibhodi iphantsi kokushicilela malunga nemizuzu eyi-10. Emva koko ibhodi iya ekugqityweni, apho iingcibi zisusa izinto ezingaphezulu kwaye zongeze i-sidecuts. Emva koko ibhodi ifakwe isanti kuwo onke macala ukususa i-resin engaphezulu. Ekugqibeleni, ibhodi ifakwe i-wax.

Ingaba ndingayithenga nini ibhodi yekhephu?

Nangona kunokuba nzima ukucinga kwangaphambili kwixesha elizayo kwaye uthenge iinyanga ezi-6 kwangaphambili ngaphambi kokuba usebenzise ibhodi yakho entsha, elona xesha lilungileyo lokuthenga kukuphela kwexesha (ngoMatshi ukuya kuJuni ngokukhethekileyo). Amaxabiso ke aphantsi kakhulu. Kwakhona kwi-dAmaxabiso asephantsi kweli hlotyeni, kodwa izitokhwe zinokulinganiselwa ngakumbi.

Ngaba ndingazifundisa i-snowboard?

Unokufunda ukwenza i-snowboard ngokwakho. Nangona kunjalo, kungcono ukuthatha isifundo kuqala, ngaphandle koko uya kuchitha iintsuku ezimbalwa uqikelela iziseko. Iiyure ezimbalwa kunye nomqeqeshi ungcono kuneentsuku ezimbalwa zokuzama ngokwakho. 

Zihlala ixesha elingakanani iibhodi zekhephu?

Malunga neentsuku ezili-100, mKodwa kukwaxhomekeke kuhlobo lomkhweli. Ukuba ungumkhweli wepaki utsiba kunye namathontsi amakhulu imini yonke, kunokwenzeka ukuba ube uya kwaphula ibhodi yakho yekhephu ngesiqingatha kwixesha lonyaka!

Ngaba kubi kwi-snowboard ngaphandle kwe-wax?

Unokukhwela ngaphandle kwe-wax kwaye ayiyi kulimaza ibhodi yakho. Nangona kunjalo, kuyimvakalelo entle ukukhwela ibhodi esandula ukugxunyekwa. Kwaye yimvakalelo engcono ngakumbi xa uyiweksa ngokwakho!

Ngaba kufuneka ndithenge okanye ndiqeshe izixhobo zebhodi ekhephu?

Qasha izixhobo kuqala kwaye uthathe isifundo ukuba awuzange ukhwele ikhephu ngosuku ebomini bakho. Thenga kuphela ibhodi yekhephu ukuba sele unombono womhlaba ofuna ukuwukhwela. Ukuba uyayazi loo nto, ungazihlengahlengisa izixhobo zakho ngokufanelekileyo kwaye uya kwenza ngcono!

Isiphelo

Enye yeendlela ezilungileyo zokufumana umdlalo olungileyo kukwenza umsebenzi wakho wasekhaya. Kububulumko ukuthetha nabathengisi abangaphezu kwesinye, ingcali okanye umhlobo malunga namava abo, bangakwazi ukukucebisa kakuhle.

“Akukho ndlela ilungileyo okanye ingalunganga yokukhwela ikhephu. Ukuba uyonwaba ngokuphonononga intaba kwaye uzityhala ngalo lonke ixesha, uyenza kakuhle,” utshilo uGallagher.

UJoost Nusselder, umsunguli woosompempe.eu ngumthengisi wentengiso, utata kwaye uyathanda ukubhala ngazo zonke iintlobo zemidlalo, kwaye naye udlale imidlalo emininzi ngokwakhe ebomini bakhe bonke. Ngoku ukusukela ngo-2016, yena neqela lakhe bebesenza amanqaku ebhlogi aluncedo ukunceda abafundi abathembekileyo ngemidlalo yabo.
