    The James Kelly / Martin Siegrist longboard design collaboration project started back in 2019 with the scan of a few of James’ boards and the analysis of their concaves. Designing the concave based on measurements was a little difficult. Instead we used a simple and effective process: the concave was modelled with stacked layers of…

    So iLL Split Palm hangboard

    The Split Palm hangboard idea came after modeling the Meagan Martin split hangboard tiles. It is basically an Iron Palm split in halves and some grips added. Jason Kehl modeled a concept in Sketchup and provided some dimensions for my refinement in Rhino. The spherical parts are modeled as surfaces. SubD modeling was used for…

    Jason Kehl’s signature hangboard got a redesign. My task was to blend the individual parts into one object in the correct size. While most of the adaptions were straight forward, the pinches needed some more attention. In the end, Jason shaped one side in foam and air-mailed the master part so I could scan it.…

    So iLL Meagan Martin training tiles

    So iLL asked me to design training tiles for their athlete Meagan Martin who’s part of the USA World Cup team and a Ninja Warrior. We agreed on the tile design early on. I wanted to try something a little different this time. Instead of grips shaped like oblong holes subtracted from a main body,…

    So iLL Rise hangboard

    A hangboard made of wood is fabricated in a subtractive process and cutting away more material takes more time and thus raises the pricetag. Casting a plastic hangboard is the opposite. Thicker grips and rungs require more resin. The goal is simple, design a hangboard with as little material as possible. The Rise hangboard was…

    The masters were hand shaped by Laurent Laporte and I got to do the scans with my Artec Eva. The result of a scan is usually a dense mesh consisting of a lot of tiny triangles. In order to provide clean surfaces for CNC machining these holds out of solid beech, the meshes were remeshed…
