Product Features
Twin Stance, Directional Float
The Freeride Directional Shape places your stance at the center when riding flat, offering a balanced, twin-like freestyle feel. Once you're on edge, it carves tight and fast while maintaining the float and control of a directional board—perfect for soft snow and variable terrain.
Power Through the Crud
Reinforced glass in the nose and tail adds stiffness where it counts, delivering extra power and stability to smash through choppy snow and maintain response in rough conditions.
