Advanced-Expert Snowboards

CORE

BAP - A core made from Bamboo, Aspen and Paulownia. A blend of three renewable species which make a strong and lightweight core, with plenty of dampening.

LAMINATES

Spaceglass Tip & Tail - Spaceglass construction is lighter and harder than wood, which reduces chatter and swingweight, so you can squeeze that extra spin in. 

Carbon Backbone - Increases the snap of the board, without making the tip and tail unneccesarily stiff.

Carbon Darkweb - A carbon layup that helps direct power where you need it, by speeding up edge to edge transitions.

Triax Glass - Glass laminate with diagonal layers to add torsional stiffness to the board.

BASE

Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base – Built using the hardest and fasted sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 Base hold wax longer than other sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer.

TOPSHEET
