“I DESIGNED THE GRADUATE SERIES WITH THE IDEA OF BUILDING A BOARD THAT WILL RIDE EVERYTHING JUMPS, LINES, AND PIPE. THE CAMBER PROFILE ALLOWS YOU TO GENERATE SPEED QUICKLY, HOLD AN EDGE, AND TURN ON A DIME. IT’S AN AGGRESSIVE PROFILE AND FLEX, BUT YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THIS SNOWBOARD WHEN YOU RIDE IT AND THATS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT.” -CHAD O.
