MEN’S BOARDS

WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING

If you’re new to snowboarding and this is your first time reading the TSA catalogue, Welcome. You are at the start of a journey that will change your life forever, give you some of the best experiences you’ll ever have and will introduce you to lots of new friends. Whether you found snowboarding through the success of Team GB at the Olympics or came to it another way it matters not, what matters is that you’re here and at the start of something amazing.

Like most new things in life, it can be pretty bewildering looking in from the outside, and snowboarding is no different, what with all the different riding styles, the vast array of equipment that sits on the shelf and that’s even before you’ve thought about going away, it wouldn’t be too difficult to walk away thinking that this is a bit too much.

So to help guide you through the first stages of snowboarding and to help you avoid some of the pitfalls when coming into the sport we’ve introduced our WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING programme. This has been put together to give you all the information you could ever need to make your first experiences simple and easy. The first thing we’ll give you is the WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING Handbook, you’ll either get this automatically when you book your first lesson with one of our partner slopes or alternatively by visiting a TSA store or via the WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING link on the TSA website. This runs through the A to Z of snowboarding, from how to get your first lessons all the way through to taking a holiday, getting on and off lifts, buying your first equipment, even how to get onto the Olympic team, all the information is there to answer any questions that you could ever have about the sport.

In addition we have WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING branding on equipment that makes learning and progressing your riding simpler, this branding will be in store, online and in the catalogue and will help ensure that you choose the right equipment that will make you a better snowboarder.

We will also run a whole series of WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING events throughout the season. From taster lessons to riding with the stars and free coaching sessions to improve your riding skills. WELCOME TO SNOWBOARDING will encompass everything and anything that newcomers to the sport could ever need and will ensure that your introduction to snowboarding turns you from a mere mortal into a fully fledged snowboarder.

THE BOARD SELECTOR

THE BOARD SELECTOR - HOW IT WORKS

When it comes to buying a snowboard even the most experienced rider can have trouble navigating the minefield that is snowboard design and construction. What with the plethora of shapes, profiles and designs, it’s understandable why so many people are scared of getting the wrong board and ruining their riding experience. Well, with the TSA Snowboard Selector you can put those worries aside. We’ve looked at each and every board that we stock and have given them a rating of between 1 and 10 in each of the key disciplines of snowboarding. This lets you determine exactly what type of riding you want to do and then match that to specific boards in our range. We then apply the same score to the overall performance of the board, so that you can see if it’s aimed at beginners or pro riders. The categories that we have rated the boards on cover everything that you would need in a snowboard and are as follows.

To help give you a better idea of how the Snowboard Selector works, here’s an example.

OBSTACLES (JIB) Previously known as Jib, this freestyle category is for those riders who want to ride boxes, rails and man-made terrain. Boards that score highly in this category tend to be softer and more playful giving a more skate like ride. This makes these perfect for locking onto rails and buttering around the mountain. If you’re a bit of a park rat or snowdome jibber then this is your category, the higher the score the jibbier the board.

Kipper is new to snowboarding and is looking to purchase his first board. He wants to ride every type of terrain so needs a board that will do a bit of everything. He’s realised though that he’ll spend most of his time riding around the mountain with his friends so it’s important that Kipper’s new board works really well on the piste. Using the board selector, Kipper allocates ratings to how important that type of riding is to him. He’s not that bothered about riding rails and boxes but he’ll give it a go when they’re there, so he gives OBSTACLES a rating of 5. He feels the same about riding the jumps so he also gives PARK a rating of 5.

Now he knows that he’ll be riding piste quite a lot, so gives CARVING a rating of 7. He also knows that when it snows he really wants a board that will perform great in the pow, so he gives POWDER a score of 7. Kipper’s honest about his ability level so he knows he needs a board that is relatively easy to ride, but he also knows that he’s going to progress quite quickly, so he needs a board that will help his riding develop. He therefore gives PERFORMANCE a rating of 5. Kipper’s Board Selector ratings are as follows: 5 5 7 7 5. Kipper can now go to the board section of the catalogue or web site and select a board using the ratings that most closely match his own numbers.

Nidecker Play £179.00

PARK The modern terrain park isn’t just about rails and boxes any more, it’s also about kickers and transitions. So, this freestyle category is for those riders that want to spend as much time in the air as they do on the ground. Generally the more park focussed boards tend to be well balanced giving the rider more control in the air. With a poppier overall flex to give that extra boost off jumps, these boards combine a playful ride with a stable and solid feel giving confidence to really push the boundaries.

CARVING Let’s be honest, everyone loves a good carve. If turning and blasting around the piste is your gig then this is the category for you. Great carving performance comes from a combination of sidecut, flex and profile so any board that scores well in this category has ticked all the correct boxes in those criteria. Remember though, the things that make a great carving board don’t necessarily make a great freestyle board so make sure you balance that out when looking at the ratings.

POWDER The key to a great powder board is float, so if you’re looking to explore the woods of Japan or blast the backcountry at Bald Face then you need to go high in this category. Generally speaking the higher the number the more float the board has. Like carving boards that performance comes from a very specific design characteristic that doesn’t necessarily equate with other styles of riding, so once again ensure that you balance that out with what you want the overall riding characteristic to be.

PERFORMANCE This should really be called experience as it dictates the performance of the board. If you’re new to snowboarding look for a lower score whereas if you’re into your 10th full season on snow go higher. The most important thing to remember though, is that if you’re relatively new to snowboarding riding a high end board doesn’t make you a better rider, if anything it’ll hold you back. If you’re realistic about your riding ability you will have an infinitely better time and become a better rider than those that buy way above their ability level.

MEN’S BOARDS Bataleon Goliath £375.00

Bataleon Whatever £335.00

Bataleon The Jam £430.00

Last season Bataleon re-engineered the Goliath and in one fell swoop created one of the best riding snowboards on the market. Designed to be totally versatile, delivering a level of control, feel and performance that allows you to feel totally at one with the board, no matter where or how you ride it. Built around a directional twin tip chassis it gives the perfect balance of freestyle manoeuvrability with a rideeverything soul. By using the freestyle TBT profile which combines a medium flat section with identical size TBT upturns and a more pronounced camber profile, the Goliath delivers a stable and reassuring ride with all the power and response for even the most aggressive rider. Internally the full length Poplar and Beech core gives a lively flex through the length, whilst the tri-ax glass with carbon and Kevlar stringers creates a stiffer torsional flex with more power concentrated at the edges. This delivers a rock solid and powerful ride over the whole mountain. The high end sintered base delivers a super fast glide in all conditions.

Now let’s be honest, the majority of snowboarders are looking for a board that will deliver great performance across the whole mountain; something that takes little to no effort to ride and something that won’t let them down when they need their board to get them out of trouble. Well, step up the Bataleon Whatever. This versatile all terrain board delivers great performance across the whole mountain, but thanks to the advanced TBT profile it does this without having to sacrifice performance, making this one of the easiest going midrange boards out there. Sharing the same directional twin tip shape and Freestyle TBT camber profile as its big brother Goliath, the Whatever delivers a playful yet poppy ride.

Internally, the full length Poplar and Beech core with structural layers formed from Kevlar reinforced bi-ax glass, delivers a softer flexing board without compromising performance. The extruded base gives great performance with minimal maintenance.

The Jam is the top model in Bataleon’s all-mountain freestyle series and is aimed at experienced riders looking for a powerful high performance snowboard that can handle any kind of terrain or any kind of riding. From laps in the park all the way through to waist deep powder runs and everything in between, the Jam is like having a quiver of boards all wrapped up in a single model. Built around a directional twin platform the Jam combines predictable freestyle control without sacrificing performance anywhere else on the mountain.

Now match this with the versatile Freestyle TBT profile which divides each of the three base sections into three identical sizes and the more pronounced camber and you get the perfect balance of control, stability with and increased edge hold. Internally the Poplar and Beech Reactor core with carbon reinforced triax glass structural layers delivers a truly responsive ride. The sintered base gives a super fast glide in keeping with the Jam’s top end performance.

Bataleon Fun.Kink £310.00

Bataleon Evil Twin £370.00

Bataleon Global Warmer £375.00

As its name suggests the Fun.Kink has been designed for one thing and one thing alone FUN! Whether that’s having fun in the park or fun cruising the mountain it doesn’t matter, the fact is this board can handle any type of terrain whilst staying fun and playful to ride.

This makes it the perfect choice for beginners all the way through to experienced riders who just want their board to remind them why they love snowboarding. Now what is it that makes the Fun.Kink so much fun to ride? Well, the starting point has to be the directional twin shape and freestyle TBT profile. This gives the board that perfect combination of balanced freestyle control but with a level of response and control on piste and in the pow that most boards in this class struggle to get anywhere near. Internally it features a Poplar and Beech wood core wrapped with softer flexing bi-ax glass structural layers. This combination gives the board a softer playful torsional flex without sacrificing pop and response. The easy repair extruded base gives great performance with minimal maintenance.

The Evil Twin is aimed at intermediate to expert riders who are looking for a more freestyle focused that won’t restrict them to just park and pipe. Its all-terrain versatility is down to the advanced blunt twin tip shape and Park TBT profile. This full camber profile with a wider flat section at the nose and tail and narrower TBT base bevel, gives a stable and poppy platform for a freestyle friendly ride whilst delivering a level of edge control and response unequalled in this type of board. For this season the Evil Twin steps up manoeuvrability thanks to the new V Core.

This has been shaped to give a softer flex between the feet without compromising pop at the tip and tail. The structural layers are then formed from a combination of tri-ax glass with Kevlar fleece creating a responsive torsional flex and delivering one of the most responsive yet playful boards on the market. The sintered base delivers a level of performance in keeping with the board’s great ride.

Designed for riders who are looking to push the boundaries in urban and park riding and need a board that delivers performance a step above most jib/park models. Built around a low profile blunt nose twin tip shape, it gives a truly balanced feel ensuring that it delivers total control during even the most technical riding. But it’s the Park TBT base profile that really sets the GW apart. The combination of a wider centre base with smaller TBT upturns creates a stable platform for easier pressing and more solid landings. The mellow upturns lift the contact points for a playful catch free ride that inspires confidence to try new tricks. Thanks to the full length camber the GW not only delivers superb performance in the park but also works great during general riding. Internally the Core core combines Poplar with Beech stringers running through the centre with structural layers formed from softer bi-ax weave glass and horizontal carbon stringers placed in front of and behind the insert. This delivers a softer easy going ride but with a level of pop that you just wouldn’t expect.

TSA HARDWARE Bataleon Magic Carpet £410.00

Bataleon Omni £365.00

The Magic Carpet takes its DNA from the acclaimed Whitegold Proto. Designed for riders who want a playful powder focused snowboard, its unique twin tip powder design gives stunning float in deep snow, but with the freestyle feel that defies normal powder board thinking. Utilising Bataleon’s twin powder TBT nose and tail profile, it features wider and longer TBT edge bevels with a narrower flat section through the centre. This gives outstanding levels of float allowing you to ride a shorter, more manoeuvrable board without sacrificing any of the float. As the TBT is designed around a traditional camber profile, this ensures that the Magic Carpet gives a level of performance on normal terrain around that is on a par with a lot of regular snowboards. Internally Bataleon haven’t held back when it comes to construction. The powerful Poplar and Beech Reactor wood core is perfectly matched with the carbon enhanced tri-ax glass structural layers and Kevlar Fleece to deliver a powerful and responsive ride that has all the performance to match its hype.

The Omni is the most freeride focused board in the Bataleon line and is aimed at experienced riders who want a big mountain powerhouse that excels at fast piste riding, steep powder lines and generally charging around the mountain. However it also provides the reassuring and confidence inspiring ride that you get with Triple Base boards. Built around a fully directional shape, it utilises the Freeride TBT profile. This features a narrower centre base for swift edge transfer and smooth long carves, whilst the shape is setback to optimise high speed turns and powder float. Add the aggressive full length camber to really engage the edges and you can see just how amazing this board is going to be when you’re haulin it. Internally the Omni utilises the Reactor wood core.

This full length Poplar and Beech core ensures that it delivers loads of pop to really drive through the turn. With tri-ax glass structural layers reinforced with Kevlar fleece you’re going to get all the freeride performance you could ever ask for. The sintered base gives a super fast glide in all conditions.

If you take the best freestyle rider in the world add his brother who’s pretty much the best rail rider in the world, give them free reign in a snowboard factory and you’re pretty sure to come up with something interesting. Welcome to the freestyle world of Lobster snowboards. The brainchild of Halldor and Eiki Helgason, with collaboration from Bataleon, these freestyle specific boards are aimed at riders who want to push the boundaries in both the park and urban terrain.

Lobster Halldor £385.00

Lobster Eiki £370.00

Halldor’s unique riding style, which combines technical urban riding with the most progressive big kicker riding ever seen, means that he needs a snowboard that is a little bit special. Thankfully, his new board is just that. Built around a twin chassis it features the unique asymmetric Triple Base profile. This state of the art design balances out the body’s biomechanical forces to improve both control and response, ensuring that this is one of the very best performance freestyle boards on the market. The toeside edge, where we have more control, features a shorter flat base section and longer edge upturns, whereas the heelside, which is more difficult to drive into, gets a longer flat base section with shorter edge upturns. This advanced design gives the board a more balanced feel and increases performance. Add a traditional camber profile which not only improves how the edges work but also steps up response, control and stability and it’s easy to see why this board works so well. Internally the Poplar core gives a predictable feel whilst the bi-ax structural layers give a softer more skate like ride. However by adding carbon stringers under the bindings it still has all that pop you could ever need. Finally the high end sintered base delivers a super fast glide in all conditions.

Eiki’s new model is aimed at riders who are looking for a high performance jib focused board that has the ability to take on the most demanding urban and park terrain. Built around a fully balanced blunt twin tip shape it utilises the park specific Jib Triple Base Profile. This combination of the wide centre base, narrower TBT side base upturns and traditional camber through the length delivers the perfect characteristics for the new generation of park rider. Hook free security and a buttery overall feel but with all the pop and power you could ever need.

Internally the playful full wood pop core delivers the perfect balance of strength and durability but thanks to the bi-ax glass structural layers it still gives a softer torsional flex giving the rider absolute control. However, sometimes you need a bit of extra power, so Lobster add horizontal carbon stringers under the bindings which step up pop under the feet without compromising that overall playful ride. To withstand the battering that jib boards get, Lobster have added a high quality sintered base.

MEN’S BOARDS When the best snowboarder in the world decides to create his own snowboard brand you know the results are going to be pretty special. Slash is designed, conceived, marketed and sold by Gigi Ruf himself so you can rest assured that these boards are going to perform at the highest level, Gigi’s win in the Ultranatural event at Bald Face is proof of that. Packed full of state of the art tech Slash combine hand finished Swiss wood cores with some of the most up to date construction materials to create a range of boards that will appeal to discerning riders who put performance at the top of their agenda.

Slash ATV £410.00

Slash Nahual £429.00

The ATV is the flagship of the Slash range and is the board of choice for Gigi himself. Aimed at advanced riders who are looking for a high performance all-terrain board, its ride anything and anywhere versatility make it the perfect choice for anyone who doesn’t want to compromise any element of their snowboarding. Built around a versatile twin shape with traditional camber profile it gives the perfect balance of freestyle control with freeride response. Internally the ATV is packed full of some of the most advanced construction available. The state of the art Paulownia, Spruce, Beech and Poplar Forever wood core with Reactive Flex structural layers changes the width profile of the base depending on how the board is being ridden, ensuring that the ATV delivers optimum performance all of the time. Add to this a combination of carbon, kevlar and basalt reinforcing to increase torsional response, and you know that no matter how hard you push, the ATV is never going to let you down. The high grade sintered HP base delivers one of rides out there.

The Nahual is the big mountain weapon of choice for Manuel Diaz. Built for control, speed and maximum attack, this freeride powerhouse is for those riders who understand that speed and gravity are their best friends. Built around an innovative directional twin shape with the new Preload flat base profile, it gives the perfect combination of powder board float but with a more balanced feel for popping off those big backcountry booters. Want to charge the piste? No problem. The combination of flat profile and Ultimate Traction edges gives a truly solid locked on ride.

Internally the lightweight wood core combines Paulownia and Poplar with Beech stringers to create a lively and dynamic flex through the length. The structural layers are then formed from bi-ax glass on the lower band and tri-ax on the upper to give the optimum torsional flex for riding fast without being overly aggressive. But, thanks to the new Carbonbon carbon bracing and the carbon/kevlar landing strips running from the nose and tail to the inserts, this is one board that you can be sure won’t let you down no matter how fast you ride. The sintered base is designed for pure speed.

Sizes: 156 (61 - 79kg), 158 (66 - 84kg), 161 (73 - 95kg), 159W (66 - 84kg), 163W (75 - 93+kg) Code 820533

Slash Brainstorm £379.00

Slash Spectrum £349.00

Slash Happy Place £319.00

Designed by Gigi Ruf and Manuel Diaz the Brainstorm has been designed to take the ethos of freestyle snowboarding into big mountain terrain. Built around a directional twin shape it features a specially designed nose profile which increases float in the pow without massively compromising swing weight. This works perfectly with the Directional rocker profile which combines a longer rocker in the nose with a set-back camber and stance to give a truly versatile ride. Internally the Pop core is created from a combination of Poplar and Beech with Spruce inserts at the tip and tail. This is wrapped with tri-ax glass structural layers and reinforced with both carbon/kevlar/basalt cross bracing at the tip and tail, with carbon stringers running the length of the board to deliver a level of performance that is something very special. The sintered base is one of fastest bases on the market.

The Spectrum is all new for this season and is designed to deliver optimum performance in the park and urban environment. Built around a new low profile blunt twin chassis with ‘No Preload’ base profile, it gives a progressive and balanced ride, perfect for when you need the ultimate in control.

Internally the Pop core constructed from Poplar and Beech with Spruce blocks in the tip and tail is reinforced with the new Carbonbon cross bracing. This creates a poppy flex and increases torsional stiffness in the tip and tail. What makes the Spectrum special though, is the Reactive Flex structural layers. These alter the shape of the board to specific styles of riding. So, when you boardslide a rail it pulls the board’s edges up, creating a convex shape across the width minimising the chance of hooking up. Then, when the board is pushed into a turn, the base forms a concave shape, forcing the edges into the snow, improving edge hold.

This ability to change its feel makes the Spectrum perfect for riders who are unwilling to make any compromise on performance.

The sintered base is both super tough and super fast in a wide variety of conditions.

The Happy Place is the perfect choice for riders who want a freestyle focussed board but who don’t want to be hamstrung when they get out onto the rest of the mountain. Built around a twin platform it features Slash’s modified CamRock profile.

This combination of camber, rocker with flat sections just beyond the inserts creates a stable platform giving increased power all without compromising the floaty reassuring feel of rocker. Add the ultimate traction edges, which place bumps in the centre of the sidecut and you also have a board that carves like its on rails. But, it’s what’s inside that really sets it apart from the competition. The lightweight Pop Core is constructed from Beech and Poplar with Spruce blocks inlaid into the tip and tail.

These provide additional pop and power whilst the softer flexing bi-ax structural layers and carbon cross bracing running from the contact points to the binding inserts-create freestyle feel without compromising overall performance. The sintered base gives great glide across a whole variety of snow conditions.

YES Basic £300.00

YES Typo £329.00

This truly remarkable board delivers a predictable and easy ride for those new to the sport but has a level of performance that will embarrass more expensive boards, making it equally good for more advanced riders. Built around a twin shape it’s equally happy blasting around the mountain as it is playing in the park, making it perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to be restricted to one style of riding. What sets the Basic apart from other snowboards, and is one of reasons it delivers such great performance, is the innovative under bite edge profile. By creating dents along the edges under the toe and heel, the riders energy is distributed out to the contact points at the tip and tail and into the centre of the side cut. This improves turn initiation and exit whilst stepping up both feel and hold through the rest of the turn.

To maximise this performance the cam rock profile blends traditional camber between the feet with mellow rocker at the tip and tail ensuring that you get great response and control whilst still retaining that versatile freestyle feel. Internally the Poplar wood core with bi-ax glass structural layers delivers the perfect balance of pop and durability with a more playful and forgiving ride. Finally the high quality extruded base gives great glide in a wide variety of snow conditions, whilst requiring minimal maintenance.

The Typo is all new for this season and is aimed at riders who are looking for a versatile all terrain board that combines high-end performance with a playful and fun ride. Built around the advanced directional volume twin shape, which adds extra length to the boards contact points it gives great performance in deep snow without compromising freestyle control and feel. Thanks to the new Under Bite edge profile which places dents along the edges under the feet directing the rider’s energy out to the boards contact points and the centre of the side cut, it delivers a level of response and edge hold unheard of at this level. Add the responsive cam rock profile, which combines traditional camber through the centre of the board with mellow rocker at the contact points, and the Typo gives a responsive ride when charging around, whilst still giving a floaty and hook free feel when you want to get in the deep stuff or play around in the park. Internally, the full Poplar wood core and bi-ax glass structural layers give the perfect balance of response, control and feel; ideal for boards with this level of performance. Finally the all new high quality sintered spec base gives all the performance of a traditional sintered material but with the easy repair versatility of an extruded base.

Sizes: 149 (45 - 65kg), 152 (49 - 70kg), 155 (52 - 75kg), 158 (57 - 80kg), 161 (60 - 80+kg), 156W (54 - 77+kg), 159W (58 - 80+kg) Code 820531

YES Jackpot £349.00

YES Greats £399.00

This season the Jackpot gets a complete makeover. With an all new park friendly twin shape and all new construction it takes the Jackpot’s class leading all terrain freestyle versatility to another level. The most obvious change is the state of the art Mid Bite edge profile. By stepping in the waist 1.5mm just inside the inserts, creating an extended disruption of the edge, Yes have managed to trick the Jackpot into riding like a far narrower board (i.e. quicker, easier turning, faster edge to edge response) without compromising the stable platform you need for popping, spinning and landing. Now add the freestyle flavoured cam rock profile with equal amounts of rocker at the tip and tail, camber between the feet and you get the perfect amount of pop and response with a looser, more predictable freestyle flex. Internally the new lightweight Poplar wood core with tri-ax glass structural layers gives the ideal balance of durability and response with a more relaxing feel, ensuring that when you’re in the park you get maximum control and feel. However, the Jackpot can still deliver a truly great performance when you just want to charge around a mountain. Finally the high end sintered base gives a super fast glide whilst being tough enough to withstand the harshest knocks.

This season Yes have totally redesigned the Greats and taken its performance to a whole new level. Aimed at good intermediate through to more advanced riders who are looking for freestyle focussed allterrain board, it delivers top end performance in all conditions. The all new twin tip shape gives a slightly more traditional overall look whilst still retaining that deeper heelside sidecut profile that gives the Greats its class leading ride. This advanced shape helps to offset some of the biomechanical inefficiencies that you get with a traditional board giving a more controlled ride overall. Match this with the acclaimed cam rock profile which combines camber between the feet with mellow rocker at the tip and tail and you have a board that gives a responsive and powerful performance but with a slightly more playful freestyle feel and unrivalled float in the POW. Internally the new wood core combines Poplar, Paulownia and Bamboo stringers running tip to tail stepping up power and response through the length whilst the tri-ax glass structural layers are now reinforced with carbon stringers to increase torsional flex and rebound for a powerful and rock solid ride. The fast sintered base gives great performance across all snow conditions making the new Greats one of the best performing boards on the market.

MEN’S BOARDS YES Standard £469.00

YES Pick Your Line £429.00

The new Standard is aimed at high performance riders who are looking for a hard charging board that can take them from giant park booters to waist deep powder and super fast piste runs. This truly versatile board has the ability to put it down in whatever type of riding or any type of terrain that you can throw at it thanks to the acclaimed volume twin shape. This unique design delivers the control of a true twin but with the float of a directional board, all without affecting the overall freestyle balance. The traditional camber profile ensures that you can really push the Standard no matter how fast or big you want to go. New for this season is the powerful Bamboo and carbon Power Drive core.

This state of the art core combines Poplar and Bamboo to give truly stunning levels of performance. However it’s the unique milled channels running parallel to to the sidecut that really take the Standard to the next level. Inserted into these are pre bent Bamboo stringers wrapped in carbon fibre. These are constantly under tension and give a level of rebound that is unheard of, making this one of the most responsive boards ever made. The addition tri-ax glass structural layers increase the torsional flex making this one board that really will blow your mind.

Obviously the super fast high grade sintered base delivers stunning performance in all snow conditions.

DCP’s Pick Your Line has gained itself a reputation as being one of the very best big mountain boards out there. But not being ones for standing still, Yes have totally redesigned it for this season and in doing so have created one the most innovative and game-changing snowboards ever made. Keeping its traditional tapered shape Yes have taken inspiration from the acclaimed Under Bite edge profile and developed the remarkable Tapered Under Bite profile. This unique shape physically steps in the side cut in 2mm increments down the length of the board, blending an 8m radius at the nose to a 7m radius at the waste to a 6m radius at the tail. This ensures that no matter how much the board tapers it has power all the way through the turn, unlike a traditionally tapered shape which runs out of steam in the last 3rd of the turn. Match this with the directional cam rock profile, a slightly longer rocker in the nose and a more aggressive setback camber, and you have all the ingredients in place for a hard-charging big mountain board. Internally the all new Power Drive core utilises a combination of Poplar and Paulownia with milled channels running parallel to the sidecut. Into these are then inserted Bamboo stringers wrapped in carbon fibre, giving the board explosive levels of pop and power. Next the tri-ax glass structural layers stiffen up the torsional flex making this one of the very best high performance boards on the market.

YES Optimistic £379.00

YES 420 £369.00

YES 20/20 £499.00

This all new board is aimed at more experienced riders who are looking for a responsive and powerful all-terrain charger. Built around an advanced directional volume twin shape, it features extended contact points at the nose. This alters how snow flows past the nose, making it come up in deep snow far easier than that of the standard profile. Now add a 10mm setback to the stance and you have all the tools to deliver great performance when hitting the deep stuff without really affecting the freestyle nature of the board.

To cement the Optimistic’s all terrain credentials it uses the acclaimed cam rock profile. This combines low rise rocker at the tip and tail for a more playful feel and improved float, with increased camber between the feet for a more poppy and responsive ride. Internally the new lightweight core combines Poplar, Paulownia and tip to tail bamboo stringers, saving weight whilst adding extra pop through the length. The tri-ax glass structural layers stiffen the torsional flex ensuring that the Optimistic stays stable and responsive. Finally the high quality sintered base gives great performance whilst stepping up durability.

Now in its fourth year, the 420 is as a revolutionary and game changing today as it was when it was first launched. Aimed squarely at riders who are looking for a powder focused snowboard, it delivers class leading levels of float combined with a level of control and manoeuvrability previously unheard of in this type of board.

(Taking its inspiration from short fish style surfboards, Yes have combined a short overall length with increased width at the waist and the nose, and a state of the art tapered directional shape with innovative powder rocker profile to deliver a totally mind blowing ride in deep snow.)

Surprisingly though, thanks to its super tight six metres sidecut, its performance on piste will have you grinning like a mad man. Internally Yes don’t hold back on the 420’s construction. Its lightweight low density Poplar and Paulownia wood core delivers the perfect balance of control and response combined with the ultimate in floaty feel. Add to this structural layers formed from tri-ax glass on both the upper and lower bands and you get all the performance you could ever need, but with a more overall playful ride. Finally to give a super fast glide in all snow conditions the 420 comes with a versatile and durable sintered base.

The 20/20 is without doubt one of the most revolutionary snowboards seen for a long time. This totally stunning board has redefined backcountry snowboarding by combining all the control and balance of a twin tip freestyle board with the float and performance of a powder stick. This has been made possible by using some of the most advanced designs inspired by legendary surfboard shaper Bob Symonds and the interpretative hydrodynamic work of the planning hull designer Daniel Thompson. The catamaran style nose shape is designed to allow the snow to flow through the nose and then be directed down to give an unbelievable amount of float. Now by replicating the same profile at the tail, the opposite happens. As the snow flows out through the tail, the rear of the board sinks. This dual effect and the wider platform ensure the 20/20 gives a truly mind blowing ride. Now as all this float comes from the nose shape, it still gives great performance when just cruising around. Internally the lightweight Poplar and Paulownia core creates a lively and poppy flex whilst the bi-ax glass structural layers give the perfect balance of freestyle feel and dynamic ride. Finally the sintered base gives great performance in a wide variety of conditions.

Burton Process Off Axis £320.00

Burton Parkitect £360.00

This very special versatile park friendly all-terrain board is the perfect choice for intermediate riders who are looking for a great performing board that will take their riding to a whole new level.

Designed around a twin chassis it utilises Burton’s Pure Pop Camber profile which combines traditional camber with flat sections just outside the feet and early rise tips. This gives the perfect balance of control and response with a more buttery and playful feel ensuring that whatever and wherever you ride this is one board that can handle it all. Now what makes the Process Off Axis so special when compared to the standard Process is the Off Axis element of its construction. This unique design offsets both the profile of the Squeezebox wood core and the edge protrusions from the Frost Bite edges into the correct alignment with your feet, giving increased response ensuring that reaction times are quicker and more energy goes to the right place. To take advantage of this increased performance Burton form the structural layers from torsionally stiffer tri-ax glass. This ensures that you can really take advantage of its increased response ensuring that no matter how much you push it, the board will always be a to handle it. Finally to give a fast glide the base is created from a sintered material.

By combining the most up to date technology with high end materials, Burton has created a class leading park focused freestyle board that has the performance to take on the biggest and most demanding parks in the world. Built around a cambered blunt profile twin shape its incredibly low swing weight gives the rider control in the air, whilst that traditional camber profile delivers pop for bigger take-offs and more stable landings. However, it’s when you look at the board’s construction that you begin to realise just how special the Parkitect is. Heading this up is the FSC certified Super Fly wood core; this is machined with the advanced Squeezebox Low which blends thick and thin profiles through the length to deliver the ultimate in control. But on the Parkitect they take this one step further. To ensure that this board really does give the ultimate in rider control, those milled sections are offset to align with the angle of the rider’s feet. This Off Axis design is also carried over to the Frost Bite edges which protrude from under the feet to give the board lightning fast response and control. Add structural layers formed from responsive tri-ax glass to give the board a powerful and solid feel and a fast sintered base and you have all the ingredients in place for a special snowboard.

This balanced twin tip machine has been designed to blend the very best characteristics of a big mountain freeride board with the control and feel of a true park board to give the ultimate in all terrain freestyle performance. This unique shape, combines the innovative Side Effects extended contact points with the Flat Top profile and grip enhancing Frost Bite edges. This gives truly astounding levels of float in the deep stuff without compromising any of the boards freestyle feel, on piste response, or general all mountain performance.

MEN’S BOARDS It’s pretty fair to say that Salomon is one of the most progressive snowboard brands out there. With class leading technology and innovative design and construction they have firmly established themselves as one of snowboarding’s big players. But don’t go thinking that Salomon are some faceless corporation that brings nothing to the sport, they are far far more than that. Under the guidance of snowboard legend Brad Steward from the very beginning, Salomon has assembled one of the best groups of riders, designers and engineers in the sport ensuring that every time you strap a Salomon board to your feet you know that it’s been through some of the most rigorous development.

Salomon Assassin £380.00

Salomon Sabotage £320.00

The Assassin has firmly established itself as one of very best all terrain snowboards on the market. Its stunning ride-anything performance will blow the mind of even the most experienced rider, ensuring that no matter where you ride, or how you ride, it has all the tools to deliver with little to no effort. Its twin chassis with extended contact points and Rock Out camber profile gives great float in powder, a poppy and stable ride on piste as well as a more buttery feel. To step up the boards piste performance Salomon utilise the advanced Equalizer RAD sidecut.

This blend of Equalizer straight lines and various radiuses create a sidecut that gives a solid and super stable ride on piste. Internally the lightweight Aspen Strong core is reinforced with Bamboo rods and carbon stringers to deliver endless levels of pop. The medium density glass/basalt structural layers give the perfect blend of freestyle feel with all the power you could ever need. Now to help dampen out this high end construction, Salomon use cork sidewalls giving a more comfortable ride. The Sintered Electra base gives a super fast glide in all conditions.

Jamie Nicholls’s Sabotage is aimed at freestyle riders who are looking for a responsive all terrain board that can handle big park booters, but still deliver enough control to put down the most technical rail line. Thanks to the low profile true twin shape the Sabotage delivers a well balanced feel, giving you all the control you could ever need. To ensure that it doesn’t compromise on performance though, it utilises the Flat Out camber profile. This combination of flat between the feet with camber under the feet, delivers a solid and reassuring ride in all types of terrain. Internally the Aspen core is milled with the Popster Booster profile. This innovative shape is reinforced with carbon stringers which direct energy from under the feet and out to the tip and tail, maximising pop through the length. To keep that more park friendly feel Salomon create the structural layers from medium density glass fibre. These give the board a slightly more playful feel. However, thanks to an additional layer of tri-ax glass and Carbon Slingshot blocks under the feet, it gives you that softer flex without compromising its dynamic and poppy ride. The super fast sintered base gives lightning fast speed whatever the conditions.

Now to ensure that the Villain steps it up against most normal jib noodles, it utilises the Rock Out camber profile. This features a flat section between the feet, camber under the bindings and rocker at the contact points to give a confidence inspiring hook free ride, but with more pop through the length. The Equalizer RAD sidecut combines straight lines and multiple radiuses to improve edge performance and reduce the likelihood of hooking an edge. Internally the Aspen SLCT core is wrapped with medium density glass fibre reinforced with tri-ax glass and carbon blocks under the feet with Royal Rubber sidewall dampening to create a playful jibby feel but with a powerful and poppy flex. The super fast Electra impregnated sintered base delivers great performance in all conditions.

The Craft is the perfect choice for riders who are looking for a great value board that can ride anything on the mountain.

Sharing much of its design with the Assassin, this all-terrain charger is one of the go to boards for intermediate riders on a budget who are unwilling to compromise on performance.

This blend of flat between the bindings, camber near the feet and rocker at the tip and tail delivers superb performance across the whole mountain.

Add Equalizer Rad sidecut which combines straight lines with radial lines and you get one of the most fun to ride boards available.

Internally the Aspen Strong core is milled with the Popster core profile to give a poppy and more skate inspired ride, whilst the medium density glass structural layers allow the board to flex torsionally ensuring that it remains forgiving but still gives great performance. The Electra impregnated extruded base ensures you have everything in place to deliver a great board that can handle anything that you can throw at it.

Wollie and Josh’s Super 8 is aimed at experienced riders who are looking for a great performing, super fun board that charges over the whole mountain. Whether ripping powder turns or laying it down on groomers this powerful and super fast board brings out a hard charging attitude without having to resort to a super stiff construction. Built around a directional twin shape it features the freeride inspired Back Seat camber profile. This places camber under the back foot with flat sections under the front foot and mellow rocker at the tip, giving explosive performance on the piste without compromising float in the pow. Now add the complex quadratic side cut and you get super easy turns with effortless direction changes, ensuring that this board rips no matter where you take it. Internally the Aspen Strong Popster core with tri-ax and basalt reinforcing gives a responsive flex through the length whilst the medium density bi-ax glass gives slightly softer torsional flex.

Jones Ultra Aviator £595.00

Jones Ultra Mountain Twin £430.00

The Ultra Aviator is aimed at advanced riders who are looking for a high performance board that can put it down in the most extreme terrain but which also has the power and control to stick booters and backcountry hits. It features a fully directional chassis with innovative 3D power camber profile. This gives all the response, power and stability of a traditional camber board but thanks to a 1° bevel of the base at the contact points, it does this with the added security of a hook free ride. Add the mellow Magna Traction edges and you get a board that carves equally as well as it performs in the POW. However, it’s what’s going on inside this board that takes it from great to truly stunning. The Air lightness technology replaces wood at the tip and tail with featherweight carbon composites, reducing swing weight without compromising response and control.

Add the hand selected lightweight triple density Ultra Core 2 and the America’s cup developed Textreme carbon structural layers and you a truly class leading snowboard that is both featherweight and super strong. The sintered Ultra base is one of the fastest and hardest base materials available.

Based on the Mountain Twin, Jones have stepped up both the construction and performance to create a board that is aimed squarely at more experienced riders who want that award winning versatility but who also want a no compromise powerful and dynamic ride. Built around the same twin tip chassis as the standard board, it’s the Ultra’s ability to blend a playful and freestyle friendly ride with big mountain performance that really does set this apart from the competition. The key to this versatility is the unique blunt nose profile; this features extended contact points which control how the snow flows past the nose to give a level of float that is nothing short of a revelation for a twin. Add the CamRock profile which combines rocker at the tip and tail with camber under the feet and a 20 mm setback and it’s easy to see why this board deliver such great performance. But it’s what’s inside the Ultra Mountain Twin that really steps things up. The new triple density wood core with Beech stringers along the edges and structural layers formed from multi layered multi axis fibreglass with dual zone carbon fibre power bands and carbon stringers running tip to tail deliver a powerful and responsive ride that is truly mind blowing. The 9900 base is one of the hardest and fastest bases available.

Jones Flagship £445.00

Jones Mountain Twin £375.00

If charging hard, dropping powder faces and exploring the mountain is your thing, then the Flagship is the board for you. The default choice for the Jones team, this big mountain destroyer has taken freeride performance to a new level. Designed around a fully directional shape, it delivers effortless float in the deepest conditions, ensuring that no matter how bottomless it gets the Flagship is always going to deliver.

However it’s more than just a powder focussed board. Thanks to the Directional Rocker which combines extended rocker at the nose with camber under the feet, it also delivers a level of performance on piste that is nothing short of sensational. Internally the Master core is constructed from a combination of triple density wood with Beech stringers running parallel to the edges and structural layers formed from multi layered multi axis glass fibre reinforced with dual zone carbon bands. This creates a powerful board that is rock solid no matter how hard you push. The full wood top sheet takes advantage of wood’s natural characteristic to take out unwanted vibrations that cause rider fatigue. The 9900 sintered base gives a super fast glide whatever the conditions.

The Mountain Twin is the perfect choice for intermediate to expert riders who want a great performing snowboard that can ride anywhere and everywhere and never feel like it’s the wrong kind of board. Built around a true twin shape it utilises Jones’s unique blunt nose profile. This innovative shape gives unrivalled levels of float in deep snow without the need for an unwieldy nose length, ensuring that you still get that freestyle feel that most people like to ride.

Jones then set back the stance 20 mm and add a mellow Magna Traction to the sidecut to give a bit more of an all terrain flavour.

Underlining this is the CamRock profile. This combines rocker at the tip and tail with camber under the feet to give the perfect balance of response and stability with a looser and more playful freestyle ride.

Internally the Mountain Core 2.0 wood core is constructed from duel density wood with Beech stringers. This gives a snappy ride while focusing strength and pop at the edges. With structural layers formed from tri-ax glass reinforced at the tip and tail, and a 7700 sintered base, the Mountain Twin delivers a level of performance that will satisfy even the most demanding rider.

MEN’S BOARDS Jones Hovercraft £375.00

Jones Ultracraft £445.00

Jones Explorer £355.00

At first glance the Hovercraft looks like a traditional powder board; the long profile nose and short tail with directional rocker profile featuring extended rocker in the nose and a setback camber under the feet, make it pretty obvious that this board is going to be something special in the backcountry. But that’s not enough to create the hype that surrounds this board.

After one run on piste though you’ll know, because the Hovercraft is nothing short of sensational. Taking inspiration from alpine race boards, Jones have taken the side cut shape and flex pattern and has integrated them into the Hovercraft, creating a board that carves like nothing you’ve ever ridden.

In a stroke of genius, Jones shied away from high end materials and went for a more traditional construction. This took away any hint of an aggressive ride making the board so much fun. The full length Poplar wood core and bi-ax glass structural layers create a softer torsional flex whilst the new carbon stringers add pop through the length giving a little bit more power and stability whilst still being super fun to ride.

This upgraded Hovercraft has been designed for experienced riders who are looking for a hard charging board that blasts through waist deep powder but which can ride the piste like a thoroughbred race board. Its fully directional chassis with extended blunt nose profile combines with the directional rocker profile to deliver class leading performance in the deep. But, thanks the alpine inspired sidecut geometry with mellow Magna Traction edges, it also delivers a level of performance on piste that is nothing short of a revelation. Internally, the advanced triple density with hardwood wood core is wrapped with multi layered multi axis quad-ax glass/carbon structural layers reinforced with dual zone carbon power bands and carbon stringers running tip to tail. The result is a powerful board yet solid and stable board that you can push to the absolute max. The super fast Ultra Base is the fastest and most durable base available.

The Explorer is all new for this season and is aimed at riders who are looking for that all mountain freeride experience that Jones are synonymous with, but who don’t want the super aggressive performance of the Flagship. This makes it perfect for less experienced riders who want to prioritise cruising around the mountain and riding powder. Built around an all directional shape with mellow Magna Traction it features Jones’s powder friendly Blunt nose and directional rocker profile. This combination of long rocker in the nose with a setback camber under the feet and mellow rocker at the tail, gives the ideal balance of float but with a more locked on and stable ride when charging around the piste. Internally the Explorer is built around a full length Poplar wood core which gives the perfect balance of control, flexibility and strength. The easy going bi-ax structural layers allow the board to flex torsionally, ensuring that it’s always a joy to ride. The 7000 sintered base delivers a fast glide in all snow conditions.

Jones Carbon Flagship £675.00

Jones Aviator £410.00

Jones Stormchaser £445.00

The Carbon Flagship is the ultimate performance board in the Jones range. Super fast, super stable and super powerful; it’s perfect choice for extreme big mountain riders who need a board that will deliver in the most difficult terrain. Built around the same shape as the standard Flagship it uses the freeride specific directional rocker profile. This extends the rocker in the nose whilst setting back the aggressive camber under the bindings. This is then matched with catch free mellow magna traction sections between the feet to ensure that it gives unbelievable performance when carving groomers and riding icy terrain.

Internally the duel density Hard-Core wood core is the stiffest in the Jones range. This is matched with bi-directional carbon structural layers on both the upper and lower bands, and carbon stringers running tip to tail to deliver a dynamic torsional flex that has the ability to hold and release so much energy that no matter how hard you push, the board is always going to deliver.

The wax pre impregnated Ultra base delivers a super fast glide in all snow conditions.

The Aviator is aimed at experienced riders who are looking for a responsive board that they can take in the park and pipe, but which still delivers that classic Jones freeride performance. Built around a directional shape it utilises the innovative Blunt nose profile. This reduces swing weight for increased control as well as lifting the nose in deep snow. The Aviator achieves its responsive and powerful performance by using the innovative 3D camber profile. This features a 3D bevel at the contact points which releases the edges where they are most likely to hook up. This gives that reassuring feel that most riders look for in a true freestyle board without compromising the solid and powerful ride of the camber. Internally, the triple density with Beech stringers Power Core 2.0 wood core and multi layered reinforced tri-ax glass structural layers meshed with carbon fibre power bands delivers a truly responsive board that is both stiff and powerful, but also one of the lightest on the market. The sintered 9900 base is one of the fastest bases available.

Designed as collaboration between Jeremy Jones and legendary surfboard shaper Chris Christensen, the Stormchaser brings a whole new dimension to powder board performance. Bucking the industry trend of making these boards soft and playful, Jones have given it a level of performance that can only be described as explosive. Built around a short overall length it combines a pointy nose, ultra wide waist width and swallow tail with the surf rocker profile.

This sets the nose kick right up to the inserts, so no matter how you ride it’s always going to stay on the plane. However for such a wide board this thing still turns like it’s on rails. Built around a Poplar and Paulownia wood core with structural layers formed from bi-ax glass with mellow Magne Traction sidecut, the Stormchaser gives the perfect balance of high end performance with a level of manoeuvrability you wouldn’t expect from a board this wide.

The 9900 base gives a lightning fast glide in all conditions.

By combining a balanced twin tip shape with Endeavor’s hybrid camber profile, which places traditional camber through the majority of the boards length and reverse camber at the contact points, the Live series manages to deliver the perfect balance of hard charging performance with a slightly more playful and floaty freestyle feel. Internally the Poplar and Birch reinforced wood core gives a dynamic and poppy flex through the length which is further stepped up with the addition of a carbon beam running through the centre. However thanks to the softer flexing bi-ax glass it still retains a more forgiving torsional flex, ensuring that it can still put it down in the park. However what makes the Live really stand out is the seamless sidewall technology, this fuses a single piece urethane sidewall direct into the core and, due to its dampening properties, creates one of the smoothest snowboards on the market.

Finally the high grade sintered 7500 base gives a super fast glide across all snow conditions.

Over the years the Color has gained itself a reputation as one of the very best all-terrain park focussed boards on the market. Its combination of high end construction and great performance has seen it become the board of choice for some of the world’s best park riders. Built around a fully twin tip chassis with flat camber profile it delivers a balanced overall feel giving the rider complete control, essential for today’s technical park riding. This playful profile ramps up the performance compared to the industry standard reverse camber, but thanks to the raised contact points at both the tip and tail, it’s still almost as difficult to catch an edge on. Internally the Color steps things up a level compared to its competition. Heading this up is the Poplar and Birch wood core with torsionally softer bi-ax glass structural layers reinforced with a carbon beam running through the centre of the board. This combination gives a really poppy and responsive flex for when you just want to ride around but with a more jib focussed overall feel. One of the most innovative additions to the board is the Seamless Sidewall technology; this single piece urethane sidewall dampens the board as well as cushioning the edges from hard impacts. The super fast and super hard IS 7500 base finishes off what is a great board.

Endeavor Guerilla £329.00 Aimed squarely at intermediate riders who are looking for a board that that will let them ride everything the mountain can throw at them, this easygoing all terrain quiver in one combines the very best traits of a freestyle board with the go anywhere versatility of the very best free ride boards. Built around a lightweight and balanced twin tip shape it utilises the hybrid Positive camber profile. This combines camber through three quarters of the board’s length with mellow rocker out to the contact points, creating a stable and responsive ride for charging around, but with a hook free playful feel for messing around in the park and added float for hitting the powder. Internally the Poplar wood core with Birch reinforcement running through the centre gives a poppy flex through the length but thanks to the softer bi-ax glass structural layers you still get a more playful freestyle feel. One of the most innovative elements of the Guerilla’s construction is the single piece Urethane sidewalls. This unique innovation dampens out the ride ensuring that this is one of the smoothest riding boards you’ll ever get on. The high grade extruded base is both tough and fast.

MEN’S BOARDS Never Summer’s reputation of quality and durability began in the early years of snowboarding. Building their first board in 1983 they have been at the forefront of snowboard design and innovation from the very beginning. Recognised across the industry for their high quality construction, these handcrafted boards produced in their own factory in Denver are seen as some of the very best performing boards available.

With their own manufacturing and ability to improve upon existing technologies resulted in Never Summer being awarded the first patent on any type of hybrid camber technology.

Never Summer Proto £520.00

Never Summer Cobra £530.00

If ever there was a case of having a big reputation going before you, the Proto has to be it. One of the most highly acclaimed snowboards of the past five years, this all-terrain freestyle charger consistently comes out as one of the best performance boards on the market. Aimed at experienced riders who are looking for a freestyle focussed ride but which can tackle any type of terrain, this stunning board really needs to be on the shopping list of anyone who wants to hit up the whole mountain. Built around a twin shape the Proto utilises the innovative Rocker Camber profile. This delivers a playful freestyle feel but with a level of performance on piste that will satisfy even the most alpine focused rider. Internally the handcrafted construction is built around the lightweight genetically modified Poplar/Birch core. This is then wrapped with pre impregnated pre tensioned glass fibre reinforced with an additional carbon fibre matrix, carbon fibre braces positioned under the binding inserts and carbon stringers running from the contact points to the insert pack. This construction delivers totally stunning performance that ensures no matter how hard or fast you ride, you’ll always feel stable and secure. To ensure that Proto can take advantage of its stunning performance it utilises a super fast sintered XT 5501 base.

Designed to destroy backcountry powder stashes and run high speed groomers, this powerhouse of a board is the perfect choice for experienced riders who want something that they know that they can push to the absolute max. Built around a directional shape with extended length in the nose and a shorter tail radius, the Cobra gives effortless float in the deep stuff, whilst the innovative Rocker Camber profile and state of art multiple radius sidecut creates the perfect combination of power, pop and control ensuring stunning performance no matter where or what you ride. Internally the super light core combines both Poplar and Birch to give a really poppy flex through the length. This is then wrapped with pre impregnated, pre tensioned BiLite structural layers. These are further reinforced with an additional carbon matrix and carbon cross bracing under the bindings and from the inserts to the contact points to give a level of power and response that is nothing short of sensational. This stunning board is then fitted with a super fast high end sintered XT 5501 base.

Still owned and run by snowboarders we are stocked to welcome back Nitro into our range for this coming season.

Nitro Addict £299.00

Nitro AfterLife £339.00

This ride anything, ride anywhere all-terrain quiver killer has become one of the boards of choice for riders who are looking for a great value board that won’t hold them back, no matter the terrain or the conditions. Built around a mid-wide directional shape it gives the perfect balance of freeride response and freestyle mobility, ensuring that wherever you ride, the Addict will always put it down. Nitro then utilise their Roofchop camber profile. This adds a flat centre section to a traditional camber, helping to shift energy evenly along the edges to deliver a confidence inspiring ride no matter how hard you push. Internally, the Powercore II wood core combines Poplar with Beech stringers running through the length creating the ideal amount of pop, whilst the Bi-Lite structural layers give a more playful freestyle feel. The Premium extruded base gives great performance with minimal maintenance.

The AfterLife is all new for this season and is aimed at riders who want to break out of the park and throw down those big tricks in the back country. By blending the best characteristics of freestyle and freeride boards, Nitro have created a truly versatile snowboard that opens up the whole mountain. Built around a twin tip shape with increased volume in the nose and tail, it utilises Nitro’s new CamOut camber profile. This low rise camber features early rise into both the nose and tail kicks which results in a fun and playful board, but with a level of float at odds with its twin tip shape. Internally the After Life features the Poplar and Beech Whiplash profiled core (combining a thinner profile between the feet with thicker areas under the bindings and the tips) with bi-ax glass structural layers. These have been engineered to complement the Dual Digressive side cut (which places smaller radius in line with the softer flexing part of the core and two larger radius at the nose and tail) to create a looser and more skate inspired ride without compromising the boards poppy and responsive nature. The premium extruded base combines easy repair low maintenance and great performance.

Nitro Pyro £399.00

Nitro Bad Seed £359.00

From high-speed groomer runs, through to laps in the park, this totally stunning snowboard will deliver no matter where you take it.

Completely redesigned for this season it utilises an all new asymmetrical twin shape with deeper heelside edge. This innovative design counteracts the biomechanical inefficiencies of a heelside turn, ensuring that the Pyro delivers a more balanced overall ride.

This is then matched with the new CamOut profile which combines low rise camber with a smooth transition into the tip and tail and Power Pod bumps under the feet. This delivers a rock solid and responsive ride all without compromising the boards freestyle credentials. Internally, the Poplar and Beech Powercore II is milled with the Reflex core profile. This varies the core thickness through the length to create the perfect riding characteristics. These are further tuned with the Bi-Lite structural layers, to give a torsionally softer flex whilst still giving the board pop through the length. The high end sintered Speed Formula base gives improved wax absorption for a faster glide.

By bringing high end construction and performance to a more jib specific design, Nitro has created a board that really pushes the boundaries both in the park and urban terrain. This underlines why the Bad Seed is pretty much the de-facto board for the majority of the Nitro team. Built around a low profile twin-tip shape its low swing weight gives the rider complete control. Now match this with the LowRider camber which gives a more solid and poppy ride, and it’s easy to see why this is the board of choice for creative riders who are really pushing the sport forward. However, thanks to some ingenious design the Bad Seed can still put down a level of performance over the rest of the mountain that totally defies its jib roots. The combination of innovative Dual Digressive sidecut, poppy flex and mellow Power Pods under the feet, deliver a response on piste that is something to behold. Internally Nitro pack the Bad Seed full of high end materials. The poppy Powercore II wood core and Bi-Lite laminates give power through the length with a softer torsional flex creating the perfect riding characteristics for the more urban centric rider. The high end sintered base gives a fast glide in all conditions.

MEN’S BOARDS “The advantages of the splitboard are numerous when it comes to touring out into the backcountry. Not carrying your board on your pack when hiking and no need for snowshoes on your back when riding are the most obvious but also the ability to slide your feet rather than lift and step when breaking trail through deep untracked snow make the distances you can cover for less effort a major advantage. The new technology splitboard is rapidly becoming the backcountry enthusiast’s most essential weapon.” Neil McNab, backcountry guru & Jones splitboard ambassador.

Jones Solution £650.00

Jones Explorer Split £520.00

The Solution splitboard is widely known for its unrivalled performance on any terrain. For 2016 Jones have added another jewel to the Solution’s humble crown, as this best-selling backcountry chariot, is now one of the most eco-friendly splitboards in the world thanks to a new ECO-plastic topsheet. The ECO-plastic topsheet is made from Castor beans, and is designed to be lighter, more durable and scratch resistant. The ECO-plastic is also snow repellent which means you’ll have less snow sticking to your skis on the slog uphill. The Solution is the identical split twin to the Flagship and likewise features a floaty Blunt Nose and the crud busting Directional Rocker profile. Inner and outer edge mellow Magne-Traction locks in your edges while skinning or shredding. Internally the lightweight yet super strong triple density ULTRA split core, places hardwood stringers down each edge to give ther board a more solid feel when skinning but also to step up the power nad pop. To ensure that the Solution gives the very best performance Jones utilise their hig end quad-ax Carbon Glass. This multi weave glass fibre is reinforced with multiple carbon stringers running tip to tail on each half of the board, these bring the board to life adding playful snap and pop.

The Explorer Splitboard has been totally redesigned with a whole new look for 2016. The Explorer’s new shape is perfect for yo-yo’ing backcountry pow laps or a heavy huck session as the floaty, freeride nose is matched with a freestyle tail. Directional Rocker makes it easy to butter or stomp and the mellow Magne Traction provides confident stability riding through tech terrain or unexpectedly rough snow conditions. Though the price is right, the Explorer doesn’t skimp on performance features. The Sintered 7000 base is hyper fast and factory waxed with One Ball Jay BIO wax. On the skin track the inner edge Magne traction adds grip and the bamboo inner sidewalls improve manufacturing sustainability. The mountain face on the Explorer’s topsheet is the Shangri-La Wall in Nepal. Jeremy Jones rode the first descent of the Shangri-La Wall filming for HIGHER in 2013. Photo by Andrew Miller.

The premium natural mohair fibers deliver unmatched glide in any snow condition because they remain soft and flexible at any temperature.

SNOWBOARD BINDINGS

Choosing a binding generally comes in a distant third when looking at new kit. Most people spend an age researching the board and then the same trying on different boots, after that it’s normally a case of “that will do” for the binding because it matches the board. But that approach does a huge disservice to what really is one of the most important parts of a set up. The reality is, this simple bit of plastic is 100% responsible for delivering the input from the rider direct to the board, get this wrong and that input is broken and no matter how careful you were in choosing the rest of your kit the simple truth is that it isn’t going to work properly. When choosing a binding take into account what board it’s going on, how responsive you want it to be and what type of riding you will be doing. Our store and mail order staff can advise you on the perfect binding to match your performance aspirations and board selection.

MEN’S BOOTS

SNOWBOARD BOOTS

Burton Moto £145.00

If you snowboard then you know how important it is to get boots right. 8 hours on the hill with foot pain is enough to put you off snowboarding for life. If you’re new to snowboarding then this will be your most important purchase.

Bear these very important guidelines in mind when buying boots: • Make time for trying on many pairs. Don’t come in 5 minutes before we close and buy the first pair you see.

• Different brands will fit differently. Even different models of the same brand can differ in width or flex.

• Just because you’re a 9 in your work shoes, it doesn’t mean you’re a 9 in every snowboard boot.

When you come into one of our stores we will have a look at the shape of your foot. Is it wide? Do you have a high instep? Our experienced staff will give you a head start on which boots to look at first. Remember though, it’s fit first people! You need a boot that reflects your riding and the rest of your set up. A super soft boot inside a super stiff binding is a mismatch in our opinion. If you’re just learning you may prefer a softer, more forgiving ride. If you ride fast or need more ankle support you may prefer a stiffer boot. But at the end of the day it’s best to have a chat with us, try on different boots and get them expertly fitted to your feet… it makes such a difference!

WOMEN’S BOARDS The past few seasons have seen the women’s snowboard market really struggle but thankfully we have now started to see fresh shoots appearing and it seems that women riders are now starting to come back to snowboarding. However, what’s different this time, is that as well as more interest in entry level boards more experienced riders are stepping up to high performance boards and are looking to take their snowboarding to the next level. Bearing this in mind our women’s range for 15/16 has expanded and now features a selection of boards for every level. If you haven’t ever ridden a higher end board get down to one of our TSA demo centres and try one, you won’t regret it.

Burton Talent Scout £360.00

Burton Feelgood £450.00

The Talent Scout is aimed at riders who are looking for a high performance park-orientated board that can still deliver stunning performance over the whole mountain. Built around a balanced twin shape it gives the rider total control, making it easier to nail those spins and rail tricks. However thanks to the Pure Pop camber which combines traditional camber between the feet with flat sections just outside the bindings and early rise tips, you get that reassuring and buttery freestyle ride without sacrificing any of the board’s response and power. Internally the Talent Scout utilises some of the most advanced construction going. The lightweight Super Fly Squeezebox core features Burton’s advanced Off Axis profiling. This innovative design mills thick and thin sections of the core in alignment with the angle of the feet; match this with the same offset of the edge protrusions of the Frost Bite edges and it’s pretty plain to see just how responsive this is going to make the Talent Scout. Add structural layers formed from tri-ax glass and you have all the ingredients in place to deliver a truly stunning ride whether lapping the park or just playing around on piste.

As one of the most iconic snowboards out there, the Feelgood has rewritten the rules on performance snowboarding to become the go-to choice for more advanced riders who want a ride-anywhere board that can tackle anything that the mountain can throw at them. Built around an all-terrain focussed directional shape with twin flex and traditional camber profile, the Feelgood delivers a powerful and responsive ride whilst still retaining that balanced freestyle feel. Internally, Burton doesn’t hold back when it comes to construction. By utilising some of the very best high end materials, the Feelgood delivers a level of performance that marks this board out as something a little bit special.

Heading this up is the super light Super Fly Squeezebox core. This innovative design combines thick and thin sections through the length of the board which is then matched with carbon optimised 60° Carbon Highlights glass structural layers. The carbon fleece reinforcing just outside the binding areas works in harmony with these to deliver a truly responsive ride but without compromising that easier going day to day usability. To ensure the Feelgood can take advantage of all that performance it features a wax impregnated WFO sintered base. This gives a fast glide but with minimal maintenance.

Burton Socialite £310.00

Burton Feather £290.00

The Socialite’s combination of the very best traits of a freestyle board with the go-anywhere versatility of an all terrain board make this the perfect choice for experienced riders who are looking for an easier going board that will excel in every type of terrain and every type of riding. Built around a twin tip chassis, it utilises the flat top profile. This versatile shape combines a flat section under the feet with early rise of both the tip and tail to deliver the perfect balance of freestyle playfulness with a solid and reassuring ride on piste. But it’s only when you start to look at the construction that you begin to see how special the Socialite is. By combining the advanced Squeezebox Super Fly core with the state of the art Off Axis construction (which off sets both the flex and Frost Bite Edge protrusions into alignment with the feet) Burton deliver a truly stunning level of response and control. Match this with the tri-ax glass structural layers which speed up the torsional flex and you have a board that really will blow your mind wherever you take it.

The sintered base gives a super fast glide in all conditions.

Package Price with Burton Citizen Binding: £325.00 For this season Burton have totally redesigned the Feather and in one fell swoop has created a truly stunning board that can take riders from the very basics of snowboarding all the way through to developing their skills to a high level. Built around a versatile directional shape with Flat Top Camber Profile, this is one board that has all the tools to handle whatever you throw at it. From groomers, through to powder and even lapping the park you can rest assured that the Feather will take it all in its stride. Internally, Burton step up the construction a level compared to other boards at this price point. Heading this up is the Squeezebox Low SuperFly core with Fillet ‘O’Flex profiling. This gives the perfect balance of response and stability but with a smoother and more controllable and ride, ensuring that you can ride all day long with minimal effort. Keeping with the overall easy going nature, the Feather utilises structural layers formed from softer flexing bi-ax glass.

This allows the board to twist easily ensuring that all you have to worry about is pointing it in the right direction, whilst the flex absorbs the terrain changes. The easy repair extruded base gives great glide with minimal maintenance.

With a playful freestyle focused flex this balanced twin tip board is perfect for riders who want that confidence inspiring freestyle ride, it’s also ideal for anyone who wants to develop their general riding skills. Utilising Bataleon’s Twin TBT profile with mellow camber it delivers a looser more skate style ride perfect for park riders. But it’s the stunning performance that you wouldn’t expect on this style of board when generally riding around the mountain that sets the Distortia apart. Internally the new V profile Poplar and Beech core is perfectly matched with the bi-ax structural layers to create an easy going board that still has enough pop to satisfy more experienced riders.

Bataleon Push Up £310.00

Bataleon SheW £335.00

Nidecker Elle £189.00

Want a great board that’ll do anything and everything? Step forward the Push Up. This quiver killer of a board has been designed to go everywhere, from cruising the piste, dropping powder lines all the way through to lapping the park. Built around a mellow directional shape it still delivers great balance, but thanks to the slightly tapered tail and extra length in the nose it gives increased float in the pow and a more relaxed and progressive feel on the edge. By combining traditional camber with the Freestyle TBT profile (the most versatile of all the TBT profiles) Bataleon have delivered a board that gives class leading performance on piste with a hook-free playful ride and unequalled float in the pow. Internally the Poplar and Beech core with bi-ax glass structural layers gives a poppy and responsive feel through the length but with a softer and more forgiving torsional flex. The high quality sintered base gives great performance and increased durability.

The SheW is aimed at more experienced freestyle riders who are looking for a park focused board but want something with a bit more performance than the average jib board noodle.

Built around a fully balanced blunt twin tip shape, it utilises Bataleon’s Twin TBT profile. This unique TBT shape features a wider flat base centre section to give the board a more stable and buttery ride, with narrower TBT base bevels which lift the edges clear for a safer more reassuring feel as well as improving edge hold and bite. TBT camber profile gives pop through the length for bigger ollies and more drive for all mountain riding. To step up that pop and power even further a full length Poplar and Beech core is used. This creates a lively flex through the length whilst the bi-ax glass structural layers allow the board to flex torsionally giving a more predictable feel. It additionally features horizontal carbon stringers in front of and behind the insert packs which create a super poppy zone under the feet without screwing up the playful feel of the board.

The super fast sintered base gives great glide and increased durability.

Special Package Price with Elle Binding: £250.00 With its versatile all terrain shape combined with an easy going flex, the Elle is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a ride anything go anywhere board that will help develop their riding skills. Built around a directional platform it utilises the CamRock profile, this gives the perfect balance of response and stability with a hook free and predictable ride. Internally, the lightweight poplar core with soft flexing bi-ax glass structural layers allow the board to twist torsionally allowing the rider to concentrate on their technique rather than how the board rides. Finally the extruded base gives great performance with minimal maintenance.

The Elle is also available complete with matching binding to create a truly stunning value for money package.

WOMEN’S BOARDS Salomon Gypsy £330.00

YES Emoticon £300.00

Nitro Mercy £329.00

As the weapon of choice for Jenny Jones, this technical freestyle board blurs the line between urban rail riding and mountain terrain parks, making it the perfect choice for anyone who is looking to push their freestyle riding to the next level.

Built around a lightweight blunt profile twin shape with Equalizer Rad sidecut, it delivers superb control, ensuring that you know what the board is doing all of the time. Add the advanced Rock Out camber profile, which combines a flat section between the feet with camber just outside the bindings and rocker at the tip and tail, and you have all the characteristics that you’ll ever need both in the park and out on the mountain.

Internally the FSC approved Popster Aspen SLCT core with Carbon Sling Shot blocks and additional carbon stringers running from under the feet and out to the contact points delivers unrivalled power through the length. Thanks to the MD bi-ax glass structural layers, the Gypsy still delivers a torsionally softer flex for hitting up the park.

The super fast Electra impregnated sintered base give the Gypsy truly stunning performance in all conditions.

The Emoticon’s unique ability to deliver an easy going ride for newcomers whilst still satisfing even the most experienced riders makes this the perfect choice for anyone who wants a go-anywhere board. Built around a balanced twin tip shape it features Yes’s innovative Under Bite edge profile. This places dents under both front and back feet on both the toe and heel edges. These dents direct the riders energy to the contact points at the tip and tail and the edge between the feet resulting in improved turn initiation and exit and increased edge hold - all without having to stiffen up the ride making the board unfriendly. This unique performance is enhanced with the acclaimed cam rock profile, which places camber under the feet for improved edge hold, stability and performance with rocker at the tip and tail to give a more playful and forgiving catch free ride. Internally the full Poplar wood core and forgiving bi-ax glass structural layers give the perfect balance of mid flex, lightweight and durability. The easy repair extruded base needs minimal maintenance to give great performance.

The Mercy is all-new for this season and is aimed at riders who are looking for a more playful jib friendly board that is versatile enough to ride over the whole mountain. Built around a balanced twin tip shape, it gives a predictable confidence inspiring friendly feel, but thanks to the all new Cam-Out camber profile (which combines a low rise camber with mellow early rise tip and tail) the Mercy still gives great edge hold and stability, ensuring that this truly is a ride anything, go anywhere board. By using the state of the art Dual Digressive side cut profile, which combines a tighter radius between the feet and larger radius at the tip and tail, the Mercy gives a more forgiving skate like feel, so you know that the board’s not going to bite you if you get it wrong. Internally the Powercore II wood core and softer flexing Bi-Lite structural layers deliver the perfect balance of pop and drive through the length, with a softer and more forgiving torsional flex. The easy repair low maintenance extruded base gives great performance in all conditions.

Salomon Wonder £300.00

YES Hel £389.00

Nitro Fate £359.00

The Wonder is aimed at riders of all ability levels who are looking for a ride-anything, all terrain board that delivers great performance, but not at the expense of a friendlier overall ride.

Built around a directional twin chassis it gives superb float in deep snow, but thanks to the complex quadratic sidecut it delivers a level of performance on piste that will push you to ride harder and faster. One of the key reasons the Wonder works so well across such a wide spectrum of riding is the Cross Profile. This combination of camber between the feet and rocker at the tip and tail gives the perfect balance of pop and power but with an overall more floaty and playful feel. Internally, the Aspen Strong Popster core and medium density glass fibre structural layers create a poppy and reactive flex through the length, but without overly stiffening up the torsional flex and compromising the Wonder’s easy going nature. Keeping things smooth, Salomon integrate their Royal Rubber dampening blocks into the sidewalls, isolating the feet from vibrations. The sintered base gives a super fast glide across a wide range of conditions.

Yes and Helen Schettini have totally redesigned the Hel, with an all-new shape and the most up to date technology available.

This is one high performance board that has the ability to tackle the most extreme terrain. Built around a fully directional shape it features the freeride inspired directional cam rock profile. This combination of long rocker in the nose, camber through the middle and short rocker in the tail gives the perfect riding characteristics for free riders. The new Under Bite edge profile places dents along the edges under both front and back feet directing the rider’s energy out to the board’s contact points and into the centre of the sidecut improving turn initiation and exit whilst stepping-up edge hold through the rest of the turn. The new Poplar wood core with Bamboo stringers running nose to tail gives a powerful flex through the length increasing both drive and power whilst the bi-ax glass structural layers create a responsive torsional flex without sacrificing any of the boards more playful nature. The high grade sintered base gives a super fast glide in all snow conditions.

The Fate is aimed at intermediate riders who are looking for a responsive yet easy going board for riding the whole mountain. Whether it’s cruising the piste, hunting out powder stashes or even lapping the park, the Fate takes it all in its stride. Built around a versatile directional twin shape it delivers a balanced yet responsive ride no matter where you take it.

The secret to the Fate’s versatility though, is the combination of RoofChop camber and Dual Digressive side cut. This low positive camber with a flat centre zone dissipates the rider’s energy evenly along the edges.

This works in harmony with the innovative sidecut shape to improve the edge hold, whilst still giving a slightly more playful and forgiving freestyle feel. Internally the Powerlite Poplar and Beech core is milled with the Reflex core profile, this creates a lively flex through the length but thanks to the Bi-Lite structural layers it does this without sacrificing any of the board’s friendlier nature. The sintered HP base is both super fast and super tough.

TSA CLOTHING

SNOWBOARD OUTERWEAR We take clothing seriously here at The Snowboard Asylum because it doesn’t matter how much you’ve spent on a shiny new hardware set-up, if your clothing sucks, so will your riding day. In fabric technology, waterproof is easy (plastic bags are waterproof), breathable is easy (cotton is very breathable) but waterproof & breathable is more complex. Remember that without good breathability, body vapour condenses on the inside of a waterproof jacket and you will quickly become wet and stay wet.

Waterproofing or water resistance is rated using a ‘hydrostatic head’ test where a fabric’s resistance to water pressure from a vertical column of water is rated in millimetres… giving a water resistance rating of, for example, 10,000mm.

Breathability or MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate) is measured by the rate at which water vapour passes through a square metre of fabric over a 24 hour period. This gives a breathability rating of, for example, 10,000g/m2/24 (often abbreviated to 10,000g). You will see us abbreviate fabric performance further to 10k/10k for example… but you will understand what this means now won’t you!

Our entry-level clothing will have minimum waterproof/breathable values of 5,000mm and 5,000g, mid range clothing fabrics rate 10,000mm/10,000g with the best performing fabrics delivering 20k/20k. GORE-TEX test their fabrics using a different method but they outperform most on the market and deliver waterproof and breathable levels far above 20,000mm/20,000g. Note that sewing a garment together puts holes in the waterproofing. Manufacturers combat this by factory sealing the inside face of the seams using narrow waterproof tape. Mid range clothing will have all critical seams sealed whilst top end clothing will be fully taped.

If you spend a lot of time riding deep snow in variable and wet conditions and hike in the backcountry a lot then you need a fabric with a high waterproof & breathable rating. Look to wear a layered clothing system of wicking base layers to drive moisture away from your skin and out through your outer layers, a mid layer fleece or in coldest weather Primaloft or down fill jacket, topped with a high performance waterproof and breathable outer layer. GORE-TEX fabrics rule in this high-end outerwear category.

If your aspirations are less extreme and you rock the resorts a couple of times a season and play on the pistes and lift accessible off piste, then you can rely on any of the clothing in our range to deliver the performance and looks that you’ll want.

Under your outerwear a clothing system is still the best way to go, wicking base layers (thermal underwear) are always better than a cotton tee and a thin synthetic mid layer is much better than a cotton hoodie.

Other than all of this waterproof/breathable performance and layering systems tech talk, there are some basic features to look out for: On your jacket a hood is a welcome feature when the wind howls on a long lift. Pit zips are great for dumping hot moist air when you are hiking or overheating your way through your first lessons! An inner snowskirt can stop snow shovelling up your back when you slam.

Inner security pockets and stash pockets help you keep things safe and sorted, whereas outer pockets keep things handy but make sure they have good flaps or water resistant zips.

Pants should fit well but be roomy enough for snowboarding’s all day rigours… and they don’t necessarily have to fit beneath your buttocks! Pockets are good but don’t overload them. Make sure the inner snow gaiters fit comfortably over your boots.

A nice feature on some pants allows the hems to be cinched up so the bottoms of the pants don’t get trashed in the après-ride bar floor soup or muddy car park.

KIDS’ SNOWBOARDING Bataleon Mini Shred £275.00 (inc Bindings) At last Bataleon have integrated their acclaimed triple base TBT technology into a kid’s board. The new Mini Shred is based around a twin tip chassis and features the park friendly Twin TBT base profile.

This innovative design splits the base at the tip and tail into 3 zones.

The wide centre base section gives the board a stable and buttery feel whilst the 2 side base bevels lift the edges clear of the snow for a hook free ride. But more importantly, ensure that the edge engages more efficiently through the turn, making this one of the easiest riding boards available. However, thanks to the unique characteristics of triple base, Bataleon can still use a traditional camber, so not only is it simple to ride, but it’s poppier, more responsive and more stable than a traditionally rockered kids board. Internally, the combination of full wood core reinforced with Beech stringers and forgiving bi-ax glass laminates delivers the perfect performance for beginners all the way through to more experienced riders. Comes complete with matching Grom Binding.

Sizes: 110 (50 - 73kg), 120 (54 - 77kg), 130 (57 - 79kg) Code 820515

KIDS’ HARDWARE

Those days when your only choice of snowboard was little more than a toy are thankfully long gone, today kids have a choice of products that can take them from the very early stages of snowboarding pretty much all the way up to boards that are on a par with full sized high end snowboards.

For this season we’ve expanded our kids’ range so that there really is a board for everyone.

Burton Riglet £50.00

Burton After School Pack £175.00 (Board, Binding, Boot) The After School special Package is a one stop shop to getting your kids into snowboarding. Based around an easy to ride kid friendly twin tip board it comes pre mounted with the single strap Grom binding. This has been designed to facilitate super easy entry and exit making sure you don’t have to spend all your time clipping your kids in. Also included, is the super comfy Mini Grom boot. This supportive boot is super easy to get into and fasten up.

Sizes: 80 (11 - 20kg), 90 (54 - 77kg), 100 (57 - 79kg) Code 820569 + 821515

The ultimate kid’s learning board. Teach them the basics on almost any sliding surface. Snow, carpet, or even grass, the Burton Riglet board lets you bring the learning experience home from the mountain… year-round! With a built-in Riglet reel, safe and forgiving edgeless construction, and grippy EVA foot pads, kids can quickly jump on and develop basic skills in your own backyard while you pull them across any low-friction surface. Inserts make it easy to add bindings when it’s time to take the next step.

Sizes: 90 (16 - 25kg) Code 820568

Burton Riglet Reel £25.00 Attach this nifty reel to the nose of the youth Chopper or Chicklet, and you have a quick and easy way to pull your li’l one around while they get used to standing sideways. Better yet, at the mountain, you can use it to easily chauffer them back to the lift to maximise their shred time.

Code 808520

Burton Chopper/Chicklet + Bindings £175.00

Burton Process Small + Bindings £200.00

The Chopper and Chicklet have been specially designed with a beginner-friendly catch-free convex base, and forgiving freestyle flex to make it super easy for even the lightest weight riders to master turning and stopping. With a playful flat profile from nose to tail that’s extra stable for better balance and board control, these boards make it easy to progress your riding but still have enough performance in reserve to take your skills to the next level. Coming complete with the acclaimed Mission Small bindings this is one board that makes a great introduction to the joys of snowboarding.

Sizes: Chopper 110 (25 - 34kg), 115 (27 - 39kg), Chopper 120 (29 - 39kg), Chicklet 110 (25 - 34kg), 115 (27 - 39kg), 120 (29 - 39kg) Code 820570 (Chopper), Code 820571 (Chicklet), Code 822507 (Mission Smalls)

The new Process small is equally happy cruising snowdome rails as it is hitting bigger park features, making this the perfect board for riders looking to push their freestyle skills to the max. Built around a freestyle friendly twin tip shape, it utilises the Flat Top profile. This blends the effortless feel of rocker with a more stable ride for launching airs and landings with confidence. For this season the Super Fly wood core features the new Fillet-O-Flex. By milling a few mm off the cores profile, the board gives a softer and more playful flex without compromising power, pop and stability. Now add the catch-free Scoop shaping at the tip and tail to build confidence and you have all the tools in place for a great performing board that will let riders push their skills to new heights.

Comes complete with Mission Small bindings.

090-091_Helmets_Layout 1 04/09/2015 10:22 Page 90

RIDER ESSENTIALS

Helmets are firmly established as a valuable part of kit for snowboarders. This has been reinforced by recent design improvements so that they perform better than ever with increased venting, new safety features and greater comfort. Legends like Jeremy Jones and Terje Hakonsen now work with leading brands to develop exactly what they want, and every budget is catered for with quality offerings. They may not be for everyone, it’s a personal choice, but those who care about their safety should be considering one.

Construction There are 2 main types of construction in snowsports helmets that meet CEN1077 (European Safety Standard) and ASTM2040 (American Safety Standard), these are in-mould and hard shell. Variations exist, such as combination constructions like those from Sweet that include carbon fibre.

In-mould construction uses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet’s impact-absorbing EPS foam liner, for good durability without excess weight.

This combination of shell and liner results in a better ventilation system.

Hard Shell helmets use a durable ABS shell and a lightweight EPS liner bonded together. This type of helmet tends to have less vents but they’re great value and hard-wearing.

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is not a construction as such but a safety feature integrated in to the build. MIPS reduces rotational

forces on the brain caused by angled impacts to the head. In a MIPS helmet the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When the helmet is subjected to an angled impact, the low friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, absorbing much of the energy.

Sizing When considering what size, try to ignore the word ‘medium’, ‘large’ and look at the actual figures in cm. It is worth trying a few different makes to see which suits your head best.

Some manufacturers add levels of customisation and adjustability to particular models for even better comfort and fit.

Venting More vents will normally equal more powerful cooling if your head warms up, but you should also consider whether the vents are open or if there is rider controlled venting that can be adjusted while on-the-move.

Sweet Protection Grimnir £330.00

Sandbox Classic 2.0 Snow £90.00

Independently tested as one of the safest snow helmets on the market, the Grimnir is Terje Haakonsen’s pro model. Built with a carbon fibre shell for strength, weight-saving and high impact resistance, it uses an Impact Shields EPS liner for maximum shock absorbance. MIPS reduces rotational forces from oblique impacts.

Bern Team Baker £60.00

Combining an in-mould construction with an Aramid Bridge makes Jeremy Jones’ pro model a lightweight helmet that still has great structural stability and dispersion of impact energy. Adjustable ventilation helps with air flow and cooling; MIPS increases protection from oblique impacts and the rotational forces on the brain they produce.

Not only does the Team Baker look fresher than many other styles but, as it meets snow, bike and skate safety certification, it can be used all year round. The thin ABS shell is combined with an EPS foam to make the signature low profile shape whilst keeping the weight down.

Trying On When you try a helmet on, it should fit firmly and snugly on your head. Align the front of the helmet above your eyebrows and tighten the chinstrap, make sure there are no unwanted gaps between the helmet lining and your head. In addition, check that the back of the helmet does not press the back of your neck. It may be worth trying the helmet with one of your favourite pairs of goggles to be certain they fit well together.

BACKCOUNTRY SAFETY One of the greatest risks we face when riding off piste or out in the backcountry is that posed by avalanche. Statistics show that in the event of an avalanche burial, the buried victim’s greatest chance of survival is to be located and uncovered within 15 minutes. The avalanche victim’s greatest chance of survival is through an efficient and rapid search and rescue operation provided by the victim’s properly equipped and prepared companions on location. The minimum requirements for riding in the backcountry are a transceiver, shovel and probe. The advent of Airbag Packs has added an additional level of security when riding away from patrolled terrain.
