Italian Race Cars and Scientific Method: Shaper Johnny Borbone - a podcast by Wax Radio

Johnny Borbone shapes boards sourced from his background in robotic engineering and Formula 1 stock car racing. The Belmar, NJ shaper dances on the edge of art and science as he applies his expertise in fluid dynamics with love of the long board. We talk about vanguard designs like his reactive flex rail inspired by a Horatio Pagani sports car. Johnny also challenges how the industry rates and understands board performance, responding with his own scientific methods to test and design an optimal glider. He also shares with us the crash at a Slope Side snowboard comp which nearly killed him.
