Personality 

The slight swallowtail has a playful feel out the back, yet still offers the stability and torsion necessary for solid edge grip, be that on the climb or linking turns on the way down. Its tapered shape design makes it easy shifting from edge to edge, and it generally feels more reactive and shorter than what it appears.

The Details

FLOAT CAMBER, which curves into a rocker shape in the nose, providing excellent float in deep powder. The camber under-foot offers extra pop for air-time and solid grip in climb-mode or on the descent. For an easy and quick setup we suggest using our pre-cut custom fit skins on this shape.

Size

This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorize riders and their preferences. Our philosophy of snowboarding is to try new shapes, lengths, widths, and to keep an open mind for alternative riding experiences; however, we do have some limits to consider so that your board will work as it was designed to.

Your weight plays a major role in how the board will flex, and your shoe size will affect toe and heel drag when turning. The below size chart is for reference only, as our recommendations may vary depending on your stance and riding ability.
