Eric Jackson's dream board for precise control and float at maximum speed
After a decade-plus at the top of the snowboarding game, Eric Jackson knows what he wants in a dream board. The EJack Knife is a directional camber board with a floaty nose. The mild taper shape makes turn initiation even more effortless. The artwork is made by the legendary folk artist Ray Troll from Alaska.
Riding Style
All-mountain freestyle for experts - If you want to shred the steepest lines and some double black diamonds with maximum speed and precision, get the EJack Knife.
Shape
A Tapered Directional board is the best for all-mountain and freeriding. The nose is longer and wider than the tail, giving you plenty of control in any terrain, and the stance is set back to help you float above the pow. The Magne-Traction serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain, especially on hard pack and ice.
Profile
The C3 profile is a classic camber profile with a mild rocker between the bindings. This offers precise edge control from nose to tail and maximum stability for high airs and landings. The mild rocker makes the board a bit more playful and offers more float than conventional camber profiles.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides you with a lively board that allows you to stay in control at all speeds and pop over everything.
Construction
The 'Horsepower construction' HP is lighter than the 'Original Power Construction' OP, environmentally nicer due to the usage of bio beans and basalt fibre and offers an extremely smooth ride. The Aspen and Paulownia wood core is robust with a lot of pop. The top sheet is made of Eco-sublimated bio beans. The TNT Base is very fast and requires little maintenance.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
