The best carving board ever
Description
ALL MOUNTAIN / DIRECTIONAL
Matt Biolos’ surf inspired resort ripper. The Rocket features a brand new floatier nose shape, progressive elliptical sidecuts paired with a powerful set back camber and stance to create the ultimate hard pack carving power trenching machine. An easy initiating and extra floaty early rise nose and powerful poppy tail rip through the storm and shine in every condition on the mountain. A mid-wide outline has lots of planing surface, explodes through no toe drag power turns and floats the soft stuff. A firm flexing, sustainable Aspen/Paulownia wood core, rugged sintered base and eco-sublimated graphics will have you blasting around the mountain all year long. This Rocket is balanced to perfection and always ready for lift off.

Flex
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Ridiculously sick AF
37 years living and snowboarding in the mountains of Colorado and this is the sickest board that I've EVER ridden. It's like all of my other solids don't even exist anymore. If I was super rich, I'd buy every one of these boards that are still available in the world and dont even get me started on the lost mountain painting on the top sheet. Ridiculous!

Thing RIPS!!
THE THING RIPS!!! Short radius sidecut, mid flex, floaty nose, pow, groomers, kills it all. Telling you dooods, get it and forget it. You'll ride it everyday. Total shred machine!!!!!!!!

Shreds everything
Mt Rainier native living on Mt Crested Butte. This board is Awesome on icy groomers taking hot laps on cold mornings. Awesome in the trees and on anything found off the T-Bars. Awesome in the deep stuff. First time on a directional. Best board I ever had.

PNW quiver killer
I'm 6'1, 185 pounds, 10.5 size boots, and I do most of my riding on Mt. Hood. Bought this board to have a one board does all for some trips at other resorts so I didn't need to bring multiple boards. This thing has quickly become my favorite board to ride on Hood. Our snow is dense and we see a lot of ice secondary to the higher temps and moisture content. The rocket floats the cascade concrete and holds a great edge in the ice. It's not as floaty as my powder board and not as dialed in as my full camber board but awfully close to both with a super damp, locked in feeling under foot. The gorgeous top sheet is a lovely little cherry on top.
