sidewall from crown comes in lengths of like 4 ft. what do you do for the other two feet of a 190cm ski. i know it doesnt extend all the way to the tip and tail but you got to need more that 4 ft. do you connect two peices together?

I've never ordered direct from Crown, but the material I've always gotten from our other sources (BlankSlate, SkiLab, SnowboardMaterials) are more like 5ft long.

I usually do 6" worth of tip spacer so I've got plenty of sidewall, but my skis are usually 160-170cm length.

Yes you can connect two pieces. Also fun to use two different colors..

I buy direct from crown. I get sidewall in .5 x 10.25 x 67ish inches.

Those must either be for kids skis or snowboards.

They aren't even thick enough for a standard size ski.

call jim. It gets ripped an oriented the other way you can get 3/8 or 1/2 inch what ever length you want.

The short stuff is for boards.

duh??
