Board Type: Freestyle-All Mountain
Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.
Flex: 4/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
Ability Level: Beginner-Intermediate
A beginner snowboard is softer, lighter, and more stable, making it easier to control and manoeuvre while learning basic skills like turning and stopping.
Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.
Shape: Directional Twin
A directional twin snowboard has a symmetrical shape but with a slightly shifted stance, making it ideal for riders who want the versatility of a twin for freestyle, with the added stability of a directional design. It performs well both regular and switch but excels in one direction, offering improved control on varied terrain.
Camber Type: OB - Original Banana
Mild rocker between your feet with mild camber to the tip and tail makes this the best camber profile to progress your riding. Learn to ride on day one or learn new tricks everyday. Holds an edge on hardpack, floats in powder, and jibs everything.
Width: Standard, Wide
Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.
Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
Board Construction
Topsheet: Eco Sublimated Poly Topsheet
This topsheet is made using an eco-friendly sublimation that is both strong and environmentally friendly.
Laminate: Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax Fiber
The Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax alloy glass offers a smooth ride while keeping weight low.
Core: G Lite 1 Core
The G Lite 1 core is made of FSC certified Poplar and Paulownia wood for a core that is both easy riding and light. The combination of both creates a core that is light, poppy, and strong.
Sidewall: UHMW Sidewalls
Made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, this plastic is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and impact
Base: Eco Knife Cut Co-Ex Base
This base is made of a fast and tough extruded material that is easy to maintain with a die-cut base to reduce waste.
