Public Snowboards Research Snowboard 2024

The most freeride-focused board to ever come out of the Public camp, the Public Snowboards Research Snowboard is a directional floater that maintains its freestyle DNA. The Poplar Light Core is pumped up with full tip to tail carbon stringers and Carbon V's to aid in torsional stiffness and pop. With a sintered base and a slight taper, this one's made for getting wild on the best days of the year. Do your own Research!

Product Details

Rocker Type

Mountain Alert CamberA directional version of the tried and true Alert Camber, this is build around a majority camber profile 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

Medium-Stiff Flex

Core

Poplar Light CoreA premium version of Public's tried and true Poplar core using 100% FCS certified wood. Strategically placed lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core reduces weight but maintains a snappy feel, while strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks and increase insert retention.

Laminates

Carbon StringersCarbon is feather light and adds explosive pop, precise edge control, reactive response and smooth dampening to a board. Bataleon uses this to beef up the flex pattern.

Carbon V StringersCarbon stringers are 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.

Sidewalls

Urethane SidewallsUrethane sidewalls are used on all Public snowboards for their superior dampening properties compared to industry standard ABS and P-Tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are also more durable against impacts to prevent your board from delaminating.

Base

Sintered BaseSintered bases are more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion resistant. In other words, faster and more durable!
