Its directional twin shape and traditional camber profile with early-rise nose and tail provide stability, pop, and versatility across varied terrain, while premium materials deliver the response needed to ride aggressively wherever inspiration strikes. This is a board built for riders who see every feature on the mountain as an opportunity.

Camber Profile
- Traditional Camber with Early Rise Nose & Tail: Traditional camber underfoot provides power, pop, stability, and edge control, while early rise rocker in the nose and tail adds versatility and makes the board easier to maneuver across varied terrain.
Flex
- 7/10 Flex: A responsive flex provides the support and stability needed for aggressive resort riding while retaining the freestyle feel needed for side hits, jumps, ollies, and creative lines.
Shape
- Directional Twin: A freestyle-oriented directional twin combines a symmetrical stance and balanced platform for switch riding with a directional design suited to charging varied terrain across the resort.
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 more playful, freestyle-friendly ride.
- 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 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.
