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 CamberA 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 CoreA 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 StringersCarbon 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 StringersA 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 SidewallsUrethane 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 BaseSintered bases are more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion resistant. In other words, faster and more durable!
