Camber Profile
- Free-The-Ride Camber – A directional camber profile with a rocker nose and positive camber underfoot. This setup provides confident edge hold and pop in the tail, with smooth turn initiation and float in the nose—ideal for deep days and technical descents.
Flex
- 6/10 (Medium) – The Ravine’s flex hits that sweet spot between stability and playfulness. It’s responsive enough for charging freeride lines, but not too stiff to kill the fun. This flex gives the board a freestyle-friendly personality—perfect for surfy slashes, playful pow butters, and spontaneous side-hit sessions.
Shape
- Directional – A longer nose and shorter tail promote float and drive while carving and slashing.
- 7.5mm Taper – Narrower tail helps the board sink naturally in powder and maintain effortless turn flow.
- Directional Diamond 3D Nose – Subtle 3D shaping in the nose enhances float and smooths out transitions in uneven snow.
Core
- Pop Core – A snappy and responsive blend of Poplar and Paulownia that keeps the board lightweight without sacrificing strength.
Sidecut
- Directional Tri-Radial – A three-part sidecut that balances smooth turn initiation with precise edge hold through the arc. Perfect for linking turns or navigating choppy terrain.
Laminates
- Directional Double Carbon HotRods – Two Carbon Omega HotRods are placed in the tail in a directional layout to amplify energy, rebound, and snap. This configuration boosts drive and responsiveness without overpowering the nose, keeping the board agile while maximizing power off the back foot.
- Triax Glass (Top Layer) – Torsionally stiff for control at speed and in variable terrain.
- Biax Glass (Bottom Layer) – Adds a layer of forgiveness and play, helping smooth out the ride.
Base
- SinterStrong Base – A durable, sintered base designed to absorb wax well and glide fast over mixed snow surfaces.
