Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating: 5.5-6 (Depending on size) (1 Soft-10 Stiff): Designed for riders who live in the park but want a tad more support than a limp noodle.
Construction and Core
Twin Asymmetrical Banana Tech PTX provides balance through asymmetry and the revolutionary Banana Rocker Technology applies more pressure inward to the edge area at and between your feet. While your stance presses out the rocker, the tip and tail still make enough contact for enough stability without sacrificing float
reCURVE Magne-Traction camber/rocker combination is designed to give you the float of a rocker in the pow and crud, with the liveliness and performance edge of camber on the hardpack and ice
Asym AG Aspen core
Shape
Pickle tech: Asymmetric sidecuts and construction to balance the different turning mechanics required for heelside and toe side turns. The heel-side has a slightly tighter radius than the toe-side. This is to help offset the difference in human heel and toe agility.
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
UHMW sidewalls
Magne-Traction 0.75 Shred technology gives better edge hold and makes for an easier ride. Magne-Traction edges cut into the snow like a knife giving you more edge hold and control. Magne-Traction has 7 distinct contact points strategically placed for tip/tail control while maintaining freestyle freedom
Asymmetrical Sidecuts: 8.3m Toeside and 7.3m Heelside.
The sintered base is fast and durable

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker A rocker board side profile is the opposite of a camber board, with a smooth downward curvature to it and less edge contact length when the board is weighted. Rocker boards float well in powder and pivot more easily underfoot. They also tend to be less “hooky” at both tip and tail and better for landing spin maneuvers when you don’t quite have enough rotation.
