Public Snowboards Research Snowboard 2025
The Public Snowboards Research Snowboard is a directional freerider crafted from the freestyle DNA that made Public famous. A directional shape and rocker profile with 8mm of taper delivers effortless float in the deep, while a Poplar Light core backed up by Carbon V Stringers delivers incredible precision and response when things get spicy. This one is built for a no-holds-barred approach on the very best days of the year – go get em, tiger!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Mountain Alert Camber – A directional version of the tried and true Alert Camber, this is build around a majority camber profile for edge hold, control, and pop. The tip and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.

Medium-Stiff Flex

Core
Poplar Light Core – A premium version of Public's tried and true Poplar core using 100% FCS certified wood. Strategically placed lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core reduces weight but maintains a snappy feel, while strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks and increase insert retention.
Laminates
Carbon V Stringers – Carbon stringers are strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased response from the binding to the contact point. This gives the board endless snap in and out of turns and an overall increase in pop.
Carbon Stringers – A 20mm wide carbon stringer running tip to tail increases overall pop and response without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot. Carbon stringers are the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.
Sidewalls
Urethane Sidewalls – Urethane sidewalls are used on all Public snowboards for their superior dampening properties compared to industry standard ABS and P-Tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are also more durable against impacts to prevent your board from delaminating.
Base
Sintered Base – Sintered bases are more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion resistant. In other words, faster and more durable!
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Inserts

Terrain
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
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Flex Rating:
Stiff

Flex Rating
Stiff 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.
