This front end rise and float design gives a board incredible lift in powder, slush and heavier snow conditions. This also provides very smooth turn initiation compared to a traditional steeper kick transition that tends to plow or push snow when engaging a turn.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"sub-base\"\u003eExtended Transition Area: \u003c\/strong\u003eA flat section of a snowboards profile, the TRANSITION AREA, that lies at the end of the camber zones just before the tip\/tail rise.

A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, however when unbent allows the board to track straight and not catch. Flanking this straight section are two shallow radiuses which provide the second and third contact points. Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radiuses which render quick turn initiation and the final contact points.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content bg-white transition-all duration-300 grid grid-cols-12 gap-6 lg:gap-8 py-6 lg:py-8 border-t border-[#E5E5E5]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-span-12 lg:col-span-3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-span-12 lg:col-span-9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"sub-base\"\u003ePowersurf Wood Core: \u003c\/strong\u003eA high percentage of lightweight Paulownia is combined with Poplar and Birch running down the middle of the core and Poplar along the sidecut edge.

This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates giving our snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.
