Camber Profile
- Free The Ride Camber – The Free The Ride Camber features a rockered nose, flat underfoot, and positive camber in the tail. This camber profile provides excellent float in deep snow, while offering the stability and power needed for high-speed freeride riding and precise carving. It’s ideal for riders who need the versatility to handle powder and more aggressive terrain.

Flex
- 7/10 (Medium-Stiff) – The medium-stiff flex delivers a stable and responsive ride, perfect for freeride and powder conditions. It provides enough stiffness for high-speed control while maintaining some flexibility for playful carving and stability when navigating tough terrain.
Shape
- Tapered Directional – The Tapered Directional shape features a wider nose and narrower tail, providing improved float in powder and better control in varied conditions. The shape ensures that the board excels in one direction, offering more power and control while riding forward, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry terrain.
- Directional Diamond 3D Shaping – The Directional Diamond 3D Shaping lifts the contact points in the nose, allowing for better floatation and easier turn initiation in deep snow. The 3D shaping also helps smooth out your ride on flat sections, making the board feel more stable and responsive.
Core
- Pop Core – The Pop Core is constructed from Poplar and Paulownia, offering a strong yet lightweight core that delivers a lively ride with good durability. This construction enhances the board’s ability to handle power and speed while providing a consistent flex.
- Directional Single Carbon HotRod – The Directional Single Carbon HotRod is placed in the nose to provide extra snap and stability. This rod adds power and response, delivering a more lively feel for the rider, especially during landings, ollies, and high-speed turns.


Sidecut
- Bi-Radial Sidecut – The Bi-Radial Sidecut uses a combination of tighter and wider radii to create a smooth turn initiation and acceleration. This sidecut design helps the board engage the edge smoothly and provides more control, whether you're cruising through powder or navigating technical terrain.
Laminates
- Triax Glass (Top) – Triax Glass laid at three angles enhances torsional rigidity and provides greater stability at high speeds. It ensures precision and control, especially when carving through aggressive terrain or tackling steep slopes.
- Biax Glass (Bottom) – Biax Glass laid at two angles provides a forgiving flex, making it easier to press and offering a playful feel for freestyle elements while maintaining good edge control.
Base
- SinterStrong Base – The SinterStrong Base offers a fast, durable, and low-maintenance option for riders who want excellent glide and longevity. It holds wax well, provides good speed in both powder and on hardpack, and stands up to the rigors of aggressive freeride riding.
