Features:

Directional Shape
A timeless snowboard profile, built with a longer nose and shorter tail to enhance float, control, and flow—while channeling energy and pop into the tail for versatile all-terrain performance.

8mm Taper
This subtle taper makes turning easier and more intuitive, delivering a directional feel while still allowing you to ride it like a twin when needed.

Directional Camber Profile
Camber under both feet offers solid edge hold and stability in variable conditions, while a rockered nose boosts float and smooth turn initiation in deeper snow.

Directional Flex
Stiffer in the tail for added snap and drive, with a softer, more playful nose that improves control across any terrain or snow condition.

Super Fly II™ 700G Core
A lightweight yet powerful core made from a mix of stronger, lighter woods to keep the board nimble and responsive. Dualzone™ EGD™ positions the wood grain perpendicular to the core along the toe and heel edges for improved strength, response, and edge hold.

45° Carbon Highlights Fiberglass
Engineered with a tip-to-tail carbon layer and optimized fiber orientation, this construction reduces weight while improving torsional feel and precision.

WFO Base
A sintered, high-density base infused with a specially formulated wax deep into the pores, offering exceptional durability and glide all season long, no matter the conditions.

Additional Tech:

• Infinite Ride™ – A unique process that pre-breaks in the board for consistent flex and pop season after season.

• Pro-Tip™ – Tapered tip and tail thickness for reduced swing weight.

• Squeezebox™ – Enhances board control by varying core thickness for better energy transfer.

• Super Sap® Epoxy – An environmentally friendlier resin that reduces carbon footprint without compromising performance.
