The Public Snowboards Research Snowboard features a directional profile with a cambered design that provides excellent edge hold, control, and pop for confident all-mountain performance. The early rise in the tip and tail offers enhanced forgiveness, with the more pronounced tip rise delivering improved float in powder and smoother turn initiation. This refined camber profile gives you the versatility to handle everything from groomers to deep snow with precision and ease!
Mountain Alert Camber – A directional version of our Alert Camber, built for edge hold, control, and pop. The tip and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.
Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Poplar Light Core – 100% FCS-certified wood. Strategically placed super lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core to reduce weight but maintain a snappy feel. Strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks at the binding line and increase insert retention.
Carbon Stringer – A 20mm wide carbon fiber stringer running tip to tail to increase overall pop and response without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot. Carbon stringer is the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.
Carbon V Stringers – Strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased response from the binding to the contact point. This gives the board endless snap in and out of turns and an overall increase in pop.
Urethane Sidewalls – More durable against impact on rocks or rails to prevent your board from delaminating when you get caught slippin’ in the park or backcountry.
Sintered Base – More porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion-resistant. In other words, it makes the board faster and more durable!
