Lotus Effect on the Snowboad Base ?
Does ist work or is it only junk ?
Ok, we saw a video, where it is said, that ultra hydrophobic material would spill away water

it is explained there
<comment >
The hydrophobicity of a surface (how hydrophobic it is) can be calculated using the contact angle it makes with a droplet of water. The contact angle is the angle between a surface and a fluid at their interface, illustrated below. Ultra-Ever Dry say that surfaces coated with their material have a contact angle of around 170 degrees, making themultrahydrophobic.

And about the possible resitance
< comment >
but have also introduced insuperableresistance to abrasion and friction, which, unlike previous technologies, can be used on any type of surfaces requiring greater durability and resistance

There are explained the effects of ice and no-ice
< .. >
nique that it allows gasses to pass through the barrier layer it creates, yet prevents larger oil, dirt and water (and ice and snow) molecules from attaching. Water sloughs off of Ultra Ever-Dry. Ice never gets a chance to accumulate. No icicles, no weight. No weight, no pulling of cables

Here is a video about someone who tried it
@ SnowSkaterem

But he didn’t tell how long it hold on the base and the question: does it speed up the board
