Technology · The Art of Snowboard Craftsmanship

Built by the best shapers.

With over 30 years of design experience, we fuse time-tested shaping with state-of-the-art technology to build boards that deliver peak performance. Our meticulous construction includes innovative features like seamless Liquid Sidewalls for superior dampening and high-performance bases for unmatched speed. Our cores, reinforced with carbon, are engineered for exceptional pop and durability. We also remain committed to using sustainable materials like bamboo and recycled steel, ensuring every board is an extraordinary ride that respects the environment.

Edge Synergy Technology

Carving technology that combines a progressive sidecut, mellow Sidewaves, and reverse radius contact points to create a board that is stable at high speeds and maintains excellent edge hold on hard or icy terrain.

02 — Vibration damping

Calm at
speed.

Unwanted vibration tires your legs and unsettles the board when you ride fast. Our boards combine several damping technologies, so they stay smooth and composed in variable snow without losing their pop.

D3O®

D3O in the nose combined with natural bamboo and flax damping helps absorb unwanted vibration when riding fast through variable conditions.

Flax Impact Pads

Pads of natural flax fibre are laid into the board where impacts are strongest. Flax absorbs shock and vibration, and replaces synthetic material with a renewable plant fibre.

Liquid Sidewalls

Instead of traditional sidewalls, we pour liquid polyurethane into a milled channel along the board's edge. This creates our seamless Liquid Sidewalls, which flex naturally with the board to provide superior vibration dampening and enhanced durability. The result is a smoother ride and a board that's built to last.

Bamboo Topsheet

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, and its rapid renewal makes it an ideal choice for our quest for low-carbon footprint materials. Naturally resilient, snappy, and lightweight, bamboo is the perfect material for building exceptional snowboards. Its properties provide fantastic pop, reduced vibrations, and unparalleled control, ensuring an amazing ride every time.

Kevlar & Carbon Strips

Kevlar and carbon strips are laid into the core. The carbon adds pop and stability at speed, while the Kevlar absorbs vibration and keeps the board lively and responsive.

Why it carves so well.

How it works

1Progressive sidecut radius

LARGER RADIUSSTABLE AT SPEEDTIGHTERTIGHTER

Tighter at the ends, so the board turns easily at low speed. Larger in the centre, which takes over as you pick up speed, for stability in long, fast carves.

2Sidewaves

0.5 mmNOSEHEIGHT EXAGGERATED FOR CLARITYSMOOTH SIDECUT ARC

At each foot, a very subtle bump on both edges, set just ahead of the inserts and rising only 0.5 mm above the sidecut curve. It gives more bite on very hard snow and ice.

3Progressive contact points

TYPICAL · SHORTBOREALIS · LONG, PROGRESSIVESIDECUT CURVENOSE / TAIL CURVE

The sidecut curve meets the opposite curve of the nose and tail through a long, gradual transition. That gives more edge length gripping than on most snowboards.
