Product Details
Rocker Type
Camber / Rocker
Flex
Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
Directional Powder Camber – Generous rocker in the nose amplifies float from the swallowtail. Camber underfoot locks in the carve.
Swallowtail – Reduces surface area in the tail to enhance float at the nose.
Core
91% Poplar + 9% Bamboo – Sustainably harvested, the blend keeps the board smooth and surfy with a good amount of pop
Laminates
Tail V Carbon – Carbon fiber runs from the tail inserts to the tail contact points to provide added edge to edge response and spring in the tail.
Tri-Axe Glass – Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
Sidewalls
Stitched Tips – Weston's tip spacers are stitched to the core to provide added durability.
UHMW PE – Highly durable sidewall that protects core from impact and increases torsional stability.
Base
Sintered Durasurf 4001 – The gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered bases have a higher density than other options on the market, and are therefore more durable. Additionally, it absorbs more wax, making for a faster and smoother ride. 4000-series PTEX is usually reserved for only top-of-the-line boards due to a higher manufacturing cost, but at Weston it’s the minimum standard.
Topsheet
Castor Bean Based Rugged Nylon – Polymide is eco friendly and made from castor beans. The topsheet is durable and resistant to scratches and scuffs.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Insert Pattern

Terrain
Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
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.
