George and Duncan talk about the mechanics of skis and splitboards including lots of information on the camber - which allows for good edge hold on the slopes. They go into detail on the tip shape and the importance of the side cut of the ski. As the engineer on staff, Duncan provides a wealth of knowledge on the design and shape of the skis provided at G3.
