Flow Viper Snowboard 2016
Slithering down the mountain has never been this fun, thanks to the Flow Viper Snowboard. This twin shaped, all-mountain ride offers the perfect amount of mellow rocker at the tip and tail, while maintaining a flat camber profile between your bindings to provide a smooth and stable ride. Progression has been made simple with the Flow Viper Snowboard.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EZ-Flat – Flat camber profile with a gently rockered nose and tail just outside of the inserts makes for a smooth and stable ride by reducing chatter.
Shape
Tru-Twin – Equal amounts of nose and tail allowing a rider the ability to ride in either direction
Ez-Dual-Transitional – Designed for EZ-Rock and EZ-Flat Rock, the EZ-DT is mellow between the bindings and at the tips with a more aggressive grip in the binding areas. This creates a more forgiving ride when things get a bit bumpy and a tight radius blended for carves.
Core
Tru-Flex – This core has a high strength-to-weight wood construction utilizing different density poplar woods, uniquely profiled to give you excellent all-around response when riding the mountain.
Laminates
Bi-Axial with Carbon – New for this year, Flow is adding carbon stringers in the boards that feature Bi-Axial glass. The special configuration of bi-axial glass/carbon design creates a smooth yet responsive feel. The specific carbon placement will increase the boards energy while still maintaining that natural easy riding feel found in Bi-Axial glass.
Base
Optix 2000 – The Optix 2000 is a low maintenance base; it's smoother and less porous creating a durable, fast ride.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Binding Compatibility
4x4 Insert Pattern – Compatible with all major binding systems.

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/Flat/Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is another variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and a flat board.

Flex Rating:
Soft

Flex Rating
Soft 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.

Ability Level
Beginner-Intermediate Whether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.
