Key Features:
- Glassing: Bi-Lite Fiberglass - BI-LITE FIBERGLASS combines many of the strength characteristics of Never SumersSTS fiberglass with an ultra-light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
- Core: WooBoo Wood Core - Never Summer's WOOBOO WOOD CORE combines Bamboo stringers, Paulownia, Poplar and Birch. The Bamboo stringers are light, extremely strong and gives the board quick reflex and lessens vibration.Other hardwoods, Poplar and Birch are added, giving the core a great strength to weight ratio. Birch is strategically placed underneath the mounting inserts for a secure, solid connection.This combination of wood species and Bamboo supply the snowboard with a crisp and light underfoot feel with powerful performance.
- Base: Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base - Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the DURASURF XT SINTERED 5501 BASE one of the fastest and certainly the most durable P-Tex bases on the market
- RDS 1 Damping System - The laminated damping layers of RDS 1 are the most extensive in the line. Utilizing a high amount of elastomeric rubber along the effective edge provides unmatched vibration damping and edge hold in variable snow conditions. This substantial damping system also supplies a snowboard with optimal high-speed stability.
In-depth Tech Specs:
- Profile: Hybrid Triple Camber - The center rocker of Never Summers's patented Rocker Camber profile now contains a third camber area creating two small high-pressure rocker sections on either side. The result is R.I.P. Edge Hold Technology, a powerful edge hold tech without the drag of serrated edges and a balanced ride not found in any other profile. Hybrid Triple Camber makes the most efficient use of your entire edge. The primary edge hold starts from the center of the board. It’s insanely responsive and stable and aids the high-performance engagement of the two outside camber areas located under your feet. The overall Hybrid rocker shape retains the effortless float, playful and forgiving feel, vice-like edge hold, rocket-launching pop, and insane butterability. Game changed.
- Shape: Directional - Built with pow in mind, this tapered directional shape allows for ultimate float, and maximum landing gear for some cliff drops.
- Flex: 8 Perfect for advanced riders who are looking for a board that can handle big mountain terrain and high-speed descents.
