Travis has done it all on this board: X-Games gold, Supernatural champion, That’s It That’s All, Art of Flight and “The Fourth Phase” insanity. The T-Rice Pro HP is a very versatile freestyle/freeride board that will allow you to push your limits but, is still fun and playful enough to be the perfect daily driver. The Horsepower construction makes it very lightweight and stable, the C2 hybrid rocker with Magne-Traction provides incredible edge hold and control in all situations.
Riding Style
This board is suited for advanced, versatile riders that want to bring their freestyle riding to the whole mountain, with a board that has a strong and long-lasting pop.
Shape
The perfectly symmetrical True Twin shape offers a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch. The Magne-Traction serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain, especially on hard pack and ice.
Profile
C2 means rocker between the bindings combined with radial cambers under the bindings. This combination offers good edge hold thanks to the camber underfoot, as well as great float in powder and unlimited freestyle action without hang-ups thanks to the rocker.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides stability at high speeds and insane amounts of control while offering you the power and flexibility you need to stomp big freestyle moves.
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 sintered Base is very fast but requires careful 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.
