Shape
- Directional Twin: A versatile directional twin shape combines balanced freestyle capability with confident all-mountain performance.
- Grip Tech: Heel and toe contact points enhance edge control and improve board response.
- 3D Fenders: Slight 3D lifts symmetrically raise the outer contact points off the snow for smoother, more natural turn initiation.
Core
- Highland II Core: A 10/20 Poplar-Paulownia blend reduces weight while improving snap and responsiveness underfoot.
