SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION

Located between the upper and lower beams on the board’s sides is an ABS synthetic sidewall which has been integrated to directly transmit pressure from the binding onto the edge without loss of power. The board gives a very responsive feel, providing maximum edge grip and the smoothest ride possible.

FULLCAP CONSTRUCTION

In a Fullcap Construction, the upper weave and the topsheet material are moved down as far as the steel edge. It’s perfect for kids and beginners as the indirect power transmission has some benefits, among them a playful riding behavior, liveliness and no more edge-catching slams! Fast progress guaranteed!

FLAT-AREA TOP CONSTRUCTION

The complete upper beam is flattened in the Flat-Area next to the sidewalls which results in a more diffused power transmission on the edges. Benefits are smooth, forgiving riding characteristics, weight reduction and a unique look.

SLIM-TIP CONSTRUCTION

Unlike a conventional sandwich construction, the Slim-Tip Construction incorporates a solid and shock-absorbing urethane inlay in the nose and tail sections instead of ABS sidewall material. Benefits include a stylish, slimmer nose, reduced swing- and overall weights for better board control – perfect for all riders, not just for high-speed rotations in the park!

CONVEX SLIDE BASE

These constructions’ special features include elevated sidewalls while the base is rounded down on the sides towards the edges – it seems as if the edges were floating in the air without even touching the rail. No more edge-catching slams, just more fun onboard! Boards with these bases are particularly playful and forgiving while they offer massive flotation in powder due to reduced flow resistance.
