Features & Fabrics

SIDECUT TYPE

• Quadralizer: Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.

CORE ADDITIVES

• BA MD fiberglass: Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
• ABC Wrapper: More pop, less plastic! ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural wood veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.

CORE PROFILE

• Popster: The core is strategically milled inside of the insert packs, allowing the board to flex more naturally underfoot and transfer energy into the nose and tail for added pop.

BASE MATERIAL

• Sintered EG: Engineered for fast glide speed and maximum wax retention in all conditions. Gallium strengthens impact resistance, while the Electra finish enhances speed.

CORE TYPE

• Ghost Green Core: Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing attributes of a super light wood.

BASE FINISHING

• Fine stone finish: Our fine stone finish is particularly efficient on our Sintered EG base, speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
• Natural wax: A paraffin-free wax compound made from natural ingredients. A non-pollutant compound held to the highest standards of glide speed.

EDGE FINISHING

• All-Mountain EB: All-Mountain ready, right out of the wrapper. Equipped with a 1-degree bevel in the nose and tail and a 2-degree bevel between the feet for superior edge hold and no hang ups.

INSERTS

• 4X2 Inserts

SUSPENSION

• Bamboo + Cork Rails: The liveliness of bamboo mixed with cork composite, for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.
