Flex
Resilient but forgiving flex makes for a smooth ride in the backcountry and fresh pow.
Construction and Core
Full Poplar and Beech wood core gives the board more solid snap.
FSC Wood Core comes from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
The Blunt nose gives you the float benefits of a much longer board tip without the added length or swing weight.
Carbon Stringers - added to improve pop and torsional stiffness and increase the longevity of the flex profile. This lightweight layer helps the board perform the same on day 100 as it did on day 1 – precise and playful.
Shape
Directional Rocker is a hybrid directional rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and slight camber between the bindings. The rockered tip gives the nose added float and improved maneuverability while the camber underfoot gives you added edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
Mellow Magne-Traction is like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, improving your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Flip Flop Base - by flip flopping the base graphic colors, P-Tex waste is drastically reduced by increasing the material yield. Recycled Base P-Tex scraps are recycled into new bases.
The Sintered Base is the fastest natural base material available. Durable, absorbs wax faster and retains wax longer. Jones’ sintered base added with Carbon nano particles as well as additives create a better glide. This base is specifically developed by Nidecker and is very resistant to impact.
ALU Protect state of the art Aluminum tip procetors. Elastomer is bonded to the aluminum to absorb vibrations.
