If you've got the APO Empire Snowboard in your quiver, it has the final say in what board you're using on any given day. If there's more than 5 inches to be sought after, the decision's been made. Fresh snow can't be wasted when you have a fully directional pow-muncher with a PP2 Dual Core and Basalt and Carbon support. It comes in the Hybrid W shape, which has rocker boosting you to the top of the pow while having slight camber keeping your carves on fleek. Complete with a Sintered 8000 Base and stone grind finish, you'll be painting the trees with your pow-slashes. There's no other board for a day of freshies when you've got the APO Empire Snowboard.
Hybrid W – Pop and control plus forgiveness. The best of both worlds, the board has a camber between the feet, and symmetrical rocker in the tip and the tail. Camber makes the board more efficient on the slope, more snappy in the park and the rocker allows better floatability in powder snow.
Double Flex – Maneuverable and nimble // The wood core has a slight dip in thickness between the inserts to make the board more maneuverable without losing its flex and energy.
Freeride – For big mountain riding 100% Directional: A longer progressive tip, significant insert setback, pintail (wider tip than tail), soft tail, and a longer side cut radius make freeride boards more stable and efficient on and off the slope.
PP2 Dual Core – Lightweight and precise The PP2 Dual core was designed to reduce the weight as much as possible and increase performance levels as much as possible. The blend of poplar and paulownia makes the boards ultra responsive and precise for ultimate versatility.
2D Basalt Fiberglass – Dynamism and lightness. A mixture of APO's traditional 2D fiberglass and basalt strips (added underneath the core), blending the control and response provided by the fiberglass with the lightness and durability of basalt.
V Carbon – Comfort on the edge. V-shaped carbon strips place on the tip and the tail of the board improve the rider’s feel on the edge by limiting board torsion during turns.
Slanted Sidewalls – The sidewalls are slanted, made of ABS and are silk-screen printed.
Sintered 8000 – The formula 1. The best base you can get, it’s the formula 1 of gliding on snow.
Stone Grind – Increased speed in spring snow // Stone-ground bases glide much better on wet snow thanks to the structure that enables water drops to escape more efficiently from under your board.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Power Grip Edge – Grip is good but only when you need it. Bringing your board to the next step of versatility, APO's new sidecut technology gives you more grip than ever, making your turns on iced or packed snow as precise as a Katana cuts.
