Shape, Profile and Sidecut

We’re not sure what catches our eye first, the topsheet or the shape. Kemper lay claim to the Flight being the first snowboard on the market to use this ‘tombstone style’ nose and tail reminiscent of OG skate decks in the 90’s. Despite having a definite nose and tail and a slight setback, the Flight isn’t super directional, there’s no taper to speak of so you won’t have a problem taking off and landing switch.

The unique shape isn’t just to look cool, it also cuts down the swing weight for more balance when airborne. The Flight has pockets of camber directly under each insert pack, these deliver pop for loading up the nose and tail for ollie power, and offer more stability and aggression on piste. These flank a central rocker zone which acts as a pivot point, allowing you to lift the nose and tail with ease, and stops the board being as twitchy as a traditional camber.
