Lobster Eiki Pro Model Snowboard 2016

Eiki Helgason wanted to make the Lobster Eiki Pro Model Snowboard jib-friendly with tons of pop while still having predictable stability for high-speed laps. He worked with Lobster's design crew to make his pro model with a soft, playful flex for easy nose and tail presses. By adding edge-to-edge strips of carbon, the Eiki Pro has a sure-fire preloaded pop like nothing you've experienced before. The carbon stringers also provide power and control by evenly distributing the riders input energy. If your local resort offers night riding, you'll be stoked on the glow in the dark graphic. Get wild and go fast on the Lobster Eiki Pro Snowboard.

Product Details

Rocker Type

3BTTip-to-tail camber with rockered sidebases in the tips. It's not rocker, it's not camber, it's Triple Base Technology. So when you stand in your bindings the contact edges are lifted up and around the tail and nose. The pressure from your weight powers up the camber for pop and precision, and since the edges are lifted out of the snow, you won't catch an edge.

Flex

Soft

Shape

3BT JibLobster's Jib 3BT snowboards are tuned with soft flexes and true twin shapes, meaning they are perfectly symmetrical for riding switch. Offering the widest centerbase to give riders a stable platform for pressing and more power for ollies. 3BT has the longest section of edge uplift, which starts around the bindings and extends outward. The result is a loose, buttery, forgiving board with less hang-ups.

Core

Pop CoreStrong poplar wood core. Flexible, with good elastic properties for presses and pop.

Laminates

Carbon Bi-AxBi-ax laminates placed on the top and bottom of the wood core with the fiberglass layers aligned at 45 degrees to the edges. This creates an easy and forgiving flex, making for great board feel and control. An added carbon inlay gives the snowboard a powerful and snappy pop.

Extra LayupHorizontal carbon stringers improve your pop, reinforce the binding area while still allowing for smooth presses.

Base

SBWhen waxed regularly, the highly porous sintered base material will not only last a long time, but also give you the fastest ride out there.

Die-Cut BaseBase color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Edges

Lightning EdgeThinner edges enable you to carve with more feeling and precision and they weigh less.

Binding Compatibility

Party PatternThe 4x2 / 24 pattern offers maximum precision for your binding's position with 22 inserts for a large total stance width range.

Product Details

Baseplate

Jib PadSwitchback's Jib Pad is designed with thicker padding under the toes and balls of the feet for more cushioning in flat and hard landings. They also offer the most plush and comfortable feel in the line.

Bumper CornersSwitchback places a rubber bushing along the bottom rim of the binding to absorb vibration, enhance flex, and help cushion harsh landings. The corners and sides are thicker to protect your topsheet and promote flex, and the toes and heels are thinner for more direct control and terrain feel.

Direct SteeringThe bumper bushing is contoured with less material around the heels and toes for improved edge-to-edge response and smooth power transfer. It also helps you feel the terrain in a smooth kind of way.

Less MaterialSwitchback designs their baseplates with a minimal amount of rigid material touching the board's topsheet when mounted. This not only saves weight but also gives the binding and your board a more natural 360-degree flex pattern underfoot.

Highback

FlatbackEiki designed the Flatbacks to have maximum tweakage from tip to tail, but still be tall and responsive vertically for when you need it. They have adjustable forward lean to dial in your desired responsiveness and are anatomically shaped to better fit your natural stance.

Forward lean adjustment

Straps

Miller StrapsSwitchback's Miller straps are milled out to save weight and make them more flexible and form fitting. The're made of a grippy and flexible TPU material and pre-curved to fit the contours of any boot. These straps aid in freestyle riding where flex and mobility are key.

Easy AccessSwitchback's strap design allows the straps to naturally fall open and away for easy in and out. Get in and out quickly without stepping on your straps.
