The sidecut depth is measured as the distance between the waist of the board and an imaginary straight line that strikes both of the contact points at the tip and tail. The sidecut radius is the radial measurement of the cu...

Sidecut logo #21308This is where the revolution began! The sidecut is defined by the width of the ski at the three main points: tip, waist and tail. In short, the deeper the sidecut, the greater the difference between the width of the tip-tail, compared to the waist, making the ski more parabolic.
