    Product description

    Optimistic : Rail it, float it

    Optimistic : Rail it, float it, send it. A mid-wide waist width coupled with an aggressive sidecut and UnderBite sets you up for a turning experience like no other. Response, stability and edge hold on every snow condition. Floats better than anything this side of a 420. Enjoy the shorter swing weight by riding it a few cm’s shorter than your normal board and you will unlock this board’s true versatility.

    Features
    • Directional
    • MODERN CAMBER 7mm Camber between bindings UNDERBITE: By redistributing rider weight and input
    • the UnderBite enhances turning ease and edge hold on every sidecut we apply it to
    • UNDERBITE: By redistributing rider weight and input
    • the UnderBite enhances turning ease and edge hold from every sidecut we apply it to. Pulling short sections of the sidecut inward at the binding area by a couple mms disrupts and reduces the surface area of the edge that has contact with snow while the board is turning. This increases the edge pressure by distributing your weight/energy in the areas where you need it - from the binding out
    • and through the center of the board where the carving arc is taking place. This segmentation of the sidecut into 3 key zones focuses your body weight onto areas that initiate
    • hold and release turns.

    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.
