Flex Rating: 8 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

With a directional flex, the camber is an advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision, and camber speaks to the core values of board design. Acting like a suspension, camber creates a lively ride capable of slicing and stomping the entire mountain. Triax fiberglass provides versatile flex and response for everything from mini to mega shred.

Smooth Ride™ internal dampening technology lets you react quicker, ride faster, and go bigger with more control and less impact on your body. The Alumafly core is snowboarding’s first tip to tail aluminum honeycomb core. 90% air by volume, Alumafly represents the perfect union of high grade honeycomb technology and EGD™. Get metallic pop, explosive response, and untapped acceleration no pulp-based honeycomb core could ever provide: universal performance. An even core profile creates a consistent feel from tip to tail for equalized playfulness and both high and low speeds. Smooth Ride™ internal dampening technology lets you react quicker, ride faster, and go bigger with more control and less impact on your body. The negative vibrations associated with rough terrain and cruddy snow, get absorbed by the board before making it to your body. Pro-Tip is a tapered tip and tail thickness that reduces swing weight for easier mobility and float.

Sintered WFO Base: Infusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays Wide F!#@ing Open all season in any condition. Lightning Bolts: Radiating outward from beneath your feet, these energy transfer strands send input from brain to edge in the blink of an eye, translating thoughts into actions with effortless precision. For 2011 it is woven into the fiberglass both above and below the board’s core for dual-drive power and response.

With multizone EGD™ the wood grain is perpendicular to the core adjacent to the channel – the area from which a rider’s power emanates – to enhance carving precision, response, and durability. The standard for slicing and dicing the entire mountain, Grip & Rip Edge Tune combines with Frostbite Edges where the edges beneath your bindings extend out slightly for tremendous edge-hold on hard, icy conditions.
