The Board Of Directors (left) was a firm favourite in testing last year – and as all-terrain freestyle rippers come, it’s got at lot going for it.

Now using The Channel binding mount system (you’ll notice it’s a theme) – it’s a 3D camber profile ride with raised contact points, a mid flex, carbon beams for pop and a speedy 7500 sintered base. All put together with a Poplar/Birch core and seamless sidewall technology.

The Clout (right) – is closely related. With a step up from ‘E-Tech II’ to ‘E-Tech IV’ when it comes to construction.

Also made for all-terrain freestyle, it’s a slightly more heavy duty mid-stiff flex, has a Stone Grind base and Paulonia alongside Poplar in its core.
