Camber Profile
- Surfy CamRock – Extended rocker in the nose with traditional camber through the rest of the board delivers effortless float and control in deep snow. The shorter tail lets you drive turns from the back foot for a smooth, surf-like ride.

Flex
- Flex Rating: 4/5 (Stiff) – Designed for powerful, aggressive riders who want a responsive board that holds speed, precision, and stability across technical terrain.
Shape
- Directional – Purpose-built for freeride performance with setback stance and directional geometry for drive, float, and control in deep or variable snow.
- Pow Diffuser – Tail channels funnel snow efficiently out from the base for improved glide and cleaner powder slashes.
- Zero_G Nose – Forged carbon replaces wood in the nose to reduce weight and maximize effortless float and precision.
- 3DN Concept – 3D-milled core profile between the inserts allows micro-flex under each foot for intuitive control and an incredibly responsive feel.
Core
- Mega Core – Premium poplar and paulownia core reinforced with vertical glass fiber stringers for explosive pop, long-term snap, and tuned flex response.
Laminates
- Triax Plus Fiberglass – Three-directional weave increases torsional stiffness and pop while maintaining smooth energy transfer.
- Carbon Cell – Forged carbon center section boosts underfoot stability and responsiveness.
- N-Tech 2.0 Construction – Combines cap and sandwich construction for reduced weight, precise edge feel, and powerful flex from tip to tail.
Base
- N-12000 Graphite Base – Race-grade, high-density sintered base infused with graphite for superior glide and wax retention. Built for maximum speed and durability.
- Die-Cut Base – Pure-color base material pieced together for sharp, long-lasting graphics.
Topsheet
- Absorbnid – Vibration-dampening topsheet that filters chatter and enhances board feel for a smoother, more comfortable ride.
- Matte Finish + Overprint + Translucent Color – Layered graphic and surface details create premium texture and depth.
Additional Tech
- Orbital Cushioning – TPU dampening zones around the inserts absorb shocks and reduce foot fatigue during hard landings or choppy conditions.
- Titanium Boosters – Lightweight metal inlays underfoot amplify edge power and acceleration.
Inserts
- 2x4 / 6+1 Insert Pattern – Six stance rows at 2 cm intervals plus an extra setback option for deep powder days; compatible with all major bindings.
