Sanouk mounting point
I know some people on this board have the sanouks and am wondering how you mounted them. The factory point looks really far back especially since it is a swallowtail. Any recomendations would be helpfull,
thanks

I have a pair mounted tele, on the line, and I'm very happy with how they ski. Got them cheap from a Völkl pro who recommended mounting them +2 cm for alpine. He said that he had moved the bindings around quite a bit. I got the impression that most of the other riders mounted their Sanouks a bit forward as well.
edit: and mount them straight on the skis, i.e., no "duck stance".Last edited by Lok; 09-12-2005 at 02:27 AM.

I have my pair mounted straight and at the standard factory point. They feel perfect to me.
I spend a fair amount of time in the trees and have no issues wiping them around when I need to. Note: The sanouks are pretty light for their size and the shovel is soft.

If you take a look at how far back the contact point is in the tip, you'll understand why the mark looks further back than normal- the tip is extra long.

If they're mounted duck and you damage an edge, you can't switch skis and move the damage to the outside edge.

I mounted mine right on center. A coupla people here in Tahoe went 2cm forward, and one fruitcake went 5cm forward. After skiing mine, there's no way I'd go forward. It's a pow ski, let there be lotsa tip and be able to flex forward into it.

Interesting... R8s weigh more than HammerHeads. Man, I sure wouldn't mind a pair of Sanouks for touring, but my Big Stix 10.6 are holding that position pretty darned well.

Telegasm,
Are you teleing on 180 or 190 10.6s? What's you're height/weight? I have a pair of 190s that I'll probably mount for AT but am considering tele.
BTW, the 193 Sanouks weigh almost the same (4.75 lbs/ski) as the 180cm Big Stix 10.6 so the Sanouks would probably be much lighter than the 190 10.6s.
