    Positive camber in the centre of the snowboard that extends all the way to the contact points; where you then get two small rocker sections. Designed for all-mountain / freestyle performance.

  • Contact Camber

    Perfect for newer riders and those that like an easy riding, mellow feel. Low-rise camber between the bindings with rocker outside. Smooth flexing and pressable.

    An all-mountain / freestyle shape that features a symmetrical camber profile but with a slightly longer nose than tail. Perfect for shredding the whole mountain, switch or regular.

  • True Twin

    A freestyle / park orientated snowboard that is 100% symmetrical, including the sidecut, flex pattern and the nose and tail lengths.
