Product Details
YES. wanted to pay tribute to all the boards that had derived from the iconic 420 by doing their own version of a 420 spinoff. They took the short-wide concept and applied it to a traditional MidBite twin profile. But to keep the taper that makes the floatability of the 420 they needed to tweak the MidBite. The Tapered MidBite outline has a deeper inlay on the front of the board than it has on the back. This creates a taper as the edge goes out 2 mm less than on the nose giving you a slight taper on a twin shape. Guillaume Rousseaux designed the board : The board design is an illustration of a text. Moral of the text : There is no moral to this story. It is what we become, all because of the snowflakes.
Camber Profile
- Camber – Camber is the base of snowboarding: you need to have an edge hold enough to drive in and out of turns, the Camber acts as a shock absorber on cars they push the wheels into the road to enhance grip. The camber does exactly that to the edge. Allowing you to drive your turns longer and release later.
Flex
- Flex Rating – 7/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff)
Shape
- Directional Twin
- Tapered Midbite – Tapered UnderBite increases the sidecut depth by stepping in at each insert pack to create additional contact points and keep the edge engaged all the way through the end of a turn. The Tapered UnderBite gives boards all the float of traditional taper and all the power and drive of a traditional sidecut.
Core
- Poplar / Paulownia / Bamboo – Creates a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, lightens it up by replacing 30% of the Poplar with Paulownia and then inserts two bamboo stringers down the full length for added pop and response.
Laminates
- Triaxal Glass
Base
- Sintered True – True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions.
Binding Compatibility
- 2 x 4 Insert Pack
