Dynamic Camber – Aggressive tip-to-tail camber creates a more poppy ride: ollies go bigger, edge changes go faster and the board is spring loaded to help absorb landings. Combined with 3D shaping, it is less likely to hook up than equivalent cambers from other manufacturers.

Flex Rating: 8 – (1 Soft, 10 Stiff)

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.

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!

Light Core – A blend of poplar and paulownia light-wood offers the best strength to weight ratio.

Ultra Glide S Base – Maximum molecular content for a hardened sintered base that hauls ass. More molecules mean a denser base that can take a beating using ISO-Sport 7000 series as backbone.
