Lobster Shifter Snowboard 2024
As the most park-dedicated board in the crustacean crew's lineup, the Lobster Shifter Snowboard is comfortable operating within the confines of terrain parks. It's soft enough to smooth out takeoffs and landings without failing you in make-or-break situations. It has SideKick uplift at the nose and tail, but those don't start until after the edges' contact points, so you'll experience fewer hangups than ever before. A true twin park board infused with the mystical power of the Lobster crew: get wild!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Low Camber – Lobster's unique 3D shape allows them to put full tip-to-tail traditional camber this makes for a more poppy ride: ollies go bigger, edge-to-edge switching goes faster and the board is always loaded to absorb landings. Low Camber is jib friendly.
Flex
Flex Rating: 4 – (1 Soft, 10 Stiff)
Shape
SideKick™ – SideKick™ increases the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation even smoother, enhances float in powder and improves board handling in rough terrain. It has to be ridden to be believed!
3D Technology – This board has 3D technology in the nose and tail. The lifted sidebase areas hug the terrain when you crank a turn or jam into a transition, and help you plough through the pow like a speedboat. You’re also way less likely to catch an edge if you sketch out on your landing.
Core
Core Core – A blend of poplar wood reinforced with two central hardwood stringers to enhance pop reinforce the camber and strengthen the insert area.
Laminates
Bi Ax Laminate – Lobster's traditional and time tested two-way weave of fiberglass is light, strong and responsive keeping the board snappy without adding torsional stiffness.
Sidewalls
Flex Walls – Urethane infused Flex Walls. The added urethane helps dampen vibrations.
Base
Hyper Glide S – Standard sintered base that’s tough and fast, and faster when waxed.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Inserts

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. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

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
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:
Medium

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
