Directional Flying V
This board bend has entry rocker in the nose to add lift while a camber section under the back foot helps drive and control. This creates a bend that is easier to ride in powder or soft snow compared to directional camber while still giving the board stability.
Shape:
Directional Tapered
Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns.
A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.
