Tech

Camber Profile

  • Triple Camber Hybrid – Three micro-camber zones enhance power, pop, and edge hold, while rocker between the feet improves float, forgiveness, and turn fluidity. This profile provides a locked-in feel on steeps with agility in mixed snow.

Proto T3 FR

Flex

  • 7/10 (Medium-Stiff) – Built for freeride control, stability at speed, and confident performance in steep and technical terrain while retaining enough playfulness for dynamic turning.

Shape

  • Directional Shape – Longer nose, shorter tail, and setback stance engineered to maximize float, drive, and stability in freeride conditions.

Sidecut

  • Power Grip Sidecut – Multi-radius design creates five contact points for aggressive edge hold and confidence-inspiring grip on firm snow and steep terrain.

Proto T3 FR

Core

  • WooBoo Wood Core – Lightweight blend of wood and bamboo engineered for natural energy, strong rebound, and durable flex consistency across freeride conditions.

Proto T3 FR

Laminates

  • Precision Stitched Carbon Matrix – Strategically placed carbon stringers reinforce torsional rigidity, snap, and responsiveness for powerful freeride performance.

Proto T3 FR

  • STS Pre-Tensioned Fiberglass – High-strength fiberglass layer providing consistent flex, stability, and long-term durability.
  • Bi-Lite Fiberglass – Lightweight, forgiving layup that softens torsional feel while maintaining stability and control.

Base

  • Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base – Premium sintered race-grade base known for elite wax retention, durability, and speed in all snow conditions.

Additional Features

  • T3 Directional Carbon Mapping – Targeted carbon placement enhances power through the nose and tail for superior freeride drive and precision.
  • RDS 2 Damping System – Balanced damping that reduces vibration and chatter for smoother performance at speed.

Proto T3 FR

  • Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers – Rubber dampers underfoot absorb impact and add stability on variable terrain.
  • Low-Profile Nose/Tail – Streamlined tip shaping reduces swing weight for faster edge transitions and more controlled freeride maneuverability.
