Camber Profile
- Traditional Camber with Early Rise Nose & Tail: Traditional camber underfoot provides pop, stability, and edge control, while early rise rocker in the nose and tail adds maneuverability and versatility across varied terrain.
Flex
- 5/10 Flex: A balanced medium flex provides responsive board feel and support while maintaining the playfulness and maneuverability needed for creative all-mountain freestyle riding.
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 surfier, more dynamic ride.
- Volume Shifted: Designed to be ridden shorter than a traditional snowboard, creating quick edge-to-edge response and easy maneuverability while maintaining all-mountain capability.
Core
- Pop-Lownia Core: A 60/40 blend of poplar and paulownia creates a lightweight, durable, and energetic all-mountain freestyle core. Strategically placed paulownia strips add dampness to help absorb bumps and reduce chatter across mixed terrain.
Laminates
- Biax Glass: Fiberglass layers running parallel and perpendicular through the board provide increased torsional flex for a playful, freestyle-friendly ride.
- Freestyle Carbon Layup: A carbon stringer laid in a diamond pattern from tip to tail increases pop while preserving the board's torsional flex.
- Composite Impact Plates: Triax fiberglass sheets laid over the insert packs and cured into the snowboard provide additional reinforcement and dampening around the binding area.
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.
