Designed to link creative lines across the resort while providing additional float on deeper days, the Sicko thrives when conditions are good and refuses to back down when they're not. Its tapered directional shape, traditional camber profile with an early-rise nose, and premium construction create a ride that is fast, confident, and ready to charge natural terrain with a freestyle mindset.

Camber Profile
- Traditional Camber with Early Rise Nose: Traditional camber provides power, response, and edge control, while early rise rocker in the nose improves float in deeper snow.
Flex
- 6/10 Flex: A responsive medium-stiff flex balances powerful all-mountain performance with the board feel and versatility needed for creative natural freeride lines.
Shape
- Tapered Directional: A directional shape with a wider nose than tail shifts additional volume and float toward the front of the board for a more surfy, dynamic ride.
Core
- Pop-Lownia Bamboo Core: A blend of poplar, paulownia, and bamboo provides strength and stiffness without unnecessary weight. Bamboo stringers at the contact points increase support when charging and carving while adding pop when needed.
Laminates
- Hybrid Glass Mix: Biax fiberglass on the top of the board and Triax fiberglass on the bottom provide a balance of responsiveness, explosiveness, and compliance.
- Bamboosters Carbon Stringers: Proprietary 3D carbon-wrapped bamboo stringers are strategically placed in milled sections of the core to increase longitudinal response and pop while preserving the board's existing torsional flex.
- Titanal Impact Plates: Thin Titanal plates are placed in milled sections of the core with strategically cut flex patterns to provide reinforcement and impact protection.
Base
- Sintered Base: A high-end PTEX 3000 sintered base made from ultra-high molecular weight HDPE provides excellent wax retention and fast glide across a wide range of snow conditions.
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 Inserts: Standard 2x4 inserts provide broad binding compatibility.
