We wanted to pay tribute to all the boards that had derived from the iconic 420 by doing our own version of a 420 spinoff. We took the short-wide concept and applied it to a traditional MidBite twin profile. But to keep the taper that makes the floatability of the 420 we needed to tweak the MidBite. The Tapered MidBite outline has a deeper inlay on the front of the board than it has on the back. This creates a taper as the edge goes out 2 mm less than on the nose giving you a slight taper on a twin shape. Guillaume Rousseaux designed the board : The board design is an illustration of a text. Moral of the text : There is no moral to this story. It is what we have become, all because of the snowflakes.
Profile: Camber
Terrain: All Mountain/Pow
Response: Responsive
Features:
-
Core: Poplar/Paulownia/Bamboo: Creating a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, lightens it up by replacing 30% of the Poplar with Paulownia and then inserts two bamboo stringers down the full length for added pop and response
- Triax Fiberglass
-
Tapered Underbite: More floatation and total edge control. Similar looking to "wings" or channels on a surfboard, it functions a little different on snow. Each side of the board's effective edge is segmented into 3 distincts parts that step horizontally inward rather than tapering.
Profile: Camber
Camber is the base of snowboarding: you need to have an edge hold enough to drive in and out of turns, the Camber acts as a shock absorber on cars they push the wheels into the road to enhance grip. The camber does exactly that to the edge. Allowing you to drive your turns longer and release later.
Shape: Directional Twin
Directional twins are a combination of true twins and directional boards, combining the best elements of both designs to create one versatile board that can do it all.
Flex: 7 (Scale 1 - 10)
Power. Precision. Control.
Base: Sintered
High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
