This board is made for Freeride and making long beautiful lines down the mountain. The construction is as close to all natural materials as I can get it. The hemp and cork dampen out bad vibrations. Carbon and bamboo give a lively and responsive ride. 3D base and flowing directional rocker make a board that’s easy riding but stiff enough to go as fast as you can.

Care

Please look after your board. It’s special and took me a long time to make. Ride it hard it’s made for fun. Waxed and tuned is always better. 3D Bases don’t want to be ground. By hand working through 80, 120 and 220 grit, gives a nice finish. Work from tip to tail, long and smooth, wet the base whilst working. The sidewalls and topsheet are wood which is alive. Please keep them well varnished and oiled. They can be lightly sanded with 220-300grit wet and dry. To revarnish them use either Osmo UV protection oil or Epifanes UV proof high gloss varnish, follow their instructions. A few coats are better than one.
