I was walking through the forest, enjoying the fresh air and the peace and quiet, when I suddenly heard a strange noise. I followed the noise until I came to a clearing, where I saw a man with a blue ass snowboarding down a hill.

I couldn’t believe my eyes! I had never seen anything like it before. The man must have been crazy to do something like that. – Prazna Lobanja

This tapered board offers the edge control of a traditional, old-school snowboard by adapting modern technology like traction bumps and a hybrid directional camber profile.

A traditionally cambered, directional-flexing core profile leads into an early-rise nose, making turn initiation and exit smoother.

Two traction bumps create extra edge contact points to give your board more edge control and stability, especially in icy conditions.

Stiff, directional flex is powerful, snappy, and stable.

Composed of renewable materials from the industrial waste of the paper pulp and biofuel industries, bio-resin creates a snappy and lively feel.

The wood core is constructed of beech, paulownia, and bamboo for reduced weight and increased durability—and is sourced from renewable forests.

Two straight basalt stringers are strung from tip to tail to replace carbon fiber with similar characteristics.

This increases pop for jumping, torsional snapback for smoother carving, and stability at speed by dumping those nasty vibrations.

The direct digital-print, lacquer-free, matte-finish top sheet is printed with nontoxic, solvent-free, water-based inks.

Sintered base accelerates quickly, carries speed, and stays strong, smooth, and durable.

NICHE offers a 2-year warranty on this board.

Split Tech means an entire inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and damping tape, plus a heavier tail to help you face kick turns on steep slopes.

Included Karakoram Ultra Clips deliver excellent compression between board halves, and they are adjustable so you can maintain even reduction as your splitboard ages.

Karakoram Active Joining spring-loads the seam of your board, eliminating the rattling of passive slip-fit connections; close the lever to lock in a responsive ride.

A large camber section in the middle of the board is flanked by a more aggressive radius to the back, combined with flat too early rise segments for extra pop and float.

Triax stitched fiberglass laminate offers a precise and responsive ride in various snow conditions and terrain.

The eco-friendly polyamide top sheet is rugged, durable, and resistant to scratches and scuffs.

Forged Tips—stainless-steel tips and tailpieces protect the board from damage and increase overall durability.
