Bi-Polar Midbite – This new Midbite 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.. less than on the nose giving you a slight taper on a twin shape.

Poplar / Paulownia / Bamboo – Creates 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.

Triaxal Glass

Sintered True – True Sintered bases are harder and more expensive than extruded, and can be faster for those that ride aggressively.
