HISTORY NORTHWAVE DRAKE
Snowboarding is something that radiates from deep inside of all of us; what starts as an adventure or a sliver of curiosity has bloomed into a lifetime obsession with simultaneously vague and precise elation. It’s not the turns, the pow, the slashes, or the parks that fuel our love. It’s anable. It’s the unseen. At Northwave and Drake there is a wealth of talent, experience, and passion.We collectively work daily with our family of the world’s greatest snowboarders, designers, and artists to strive for the unreachable: perfection. With each product, it brings about an offspring with an appetite for the obscure, the ‘impossible’, and the glimmer of a conceivable future of riding and products.We choose to take the path that will lead us toward a new revolution.

TECH FEATURES
SHAPES Twin Tip
FIBERGLASS
The width and length of tip and tail are exactly the same. Inserts and stance are perfectly centered with no set back.
Directional Twin
Tip and tail area on these boards are the same width. Tail is usually shorter than the tip and the inserts are slightly offset toward the tail of the board.
Blunt BASE This particular shape improves overall control of the board by keeping the full contact length, but shrinking the actual board size. The shape comes with a straight cut on the tip and tail areas, which makes the board shorter than a regular board. This reduces weight and improves rotation, and the end result is a lightweight and playful board ideal for freestyle maneauvers, but very versatile.

BINDING TECH BASEPLATES
OMNICROM LIGHT
LIGHT SABER The Light Saber is an evolution of the Delta Light base plate. We reduced the contact points to a minimum in order to give you a better feeling while riding while reducing the weight.The heelcup positioning is totally tool-less: 3 different positions are adjustable with two levers located on the baseplate.The new Light Saber base plate gives you the opportunity to adjust the highback independently from the ankle straps, which results in 13 different customizable combinations to suit your riding style.
The Omnichrom on a diet, our light version gives the same proven performance of its predecessor’s baseplate, while the heelcup has been enhanced thanks to a lightened bridge. Assuring the same reactivity while simultaneously improving flexibility, the Omnichrom Light reduces the overall weight by shaving unnecessary material from the bridge and baseplate.
DELTA LIGHT Engineered with the highest quality aluminum and fi-ber reinforced nylon, the ultra-light weight Delta Light baseplate was designed to enhance response and board feel. The weight on this baseplate was dramati-cally reduced by removing heavy plastic and replacing it with an EVA dampening pad. The Delta Light has an all new contact pad placed directly on the board to bet-ter dampen impacts, and take riding to a whole new level. A versatile, all-terrain performance baseplate that’s fully customizable for superior fit.
DELTA The Delta is the original Drake concept at its purest. With a pre-curved aluminum heel cup directly con-nected to a nylon/fiberglass baseplate, this baseplate maintains flawless, solid assembly. Designed with the perfect blend of nylon and aluminum for responsive-ness and dampening, collectively the construction cre-ates a soft, forgiving baseplate ideal for beginners and freestyle enthusiasts. It is fully customizable, and in-cludes a variety of heelcups and toe ramp adjustments to ensure the perfect fit.
HIGHBACK DESIGN BIOMAP POLYCARBONATE
BIOMAP CARBON FIBER The Biomap Carbonfiber highback is made from Carbon Fiber manufactured with aattention to performance. The asymmetrical design is ergonomically engineered to fit the calf and angle of rider’s legs to maximize performance and response from the board.
The Biomap is a set of asymmetrical highbacks that provide maximum energy transmission from your body to the board while ensuring proper stance support. That’s why our highbacks are designed with Biomechanical technology, to be anatomically compatible with every rider’s calf, and simultaneously stabilizing your leg in the right position to transmit power directly to the board without wasting any energy.
SPADE
LIGHT FRAME
It’s third year in our collection, the Spade highback is an asymmetrical design to give extra flex to your riding and tweaks featuring a new adjustment system that is both faster to change up and more durable.
The Light Frame family of hibhbacks maintains the same benefits of a full frame highback without the added weigt. It’s a perfect mix of torsional flexibility and response by giving you more lateral movement while allowing a progressive response in all movement paths. This guarantees greater control over your board with a comfortable and forgiving feel without compromising support.
LADYFIT A collection of highbacks specifically conceived for a woman’s biological makeup, the Ladfyit is constructed with a shorter, rounded top for extra support and the best possible fit, excellent flex and reactivity with a feminendesign touch.
70 | BindingTech
FULL PRIME The Full Prime highback has fought to revolutionize your riding style with a central spine critical to fortifying the strength necessary to support any pressure put on it. This outstanding highback deliver extra torsional flexibility during turns and rotations.
EYEBACK Perfect for entry-level riders the Eyeback is super light, comfortable, and very versatile.
SPECIAL INTERFACES NATURAL CANT PLUS The Natural Cant Plus pad sets the new standard for comfort and performance. Its outside angle flushes the gap between the external part of the foot and the binding, providing a perfect feeling of balance and comfort even with the widest stance. It features the Plaxmol Heel cushioning in PU to progressively absorb shocks and vibrations on low and high impact forces. Additioinally, the toe ramp delivers perfect side-edge control.
NATURAL CANT EVO The Natural Cant Evo has a total new design and it’s totally toolless; beside that it features the Rebound heel absorber low density cushioning to increase in the heel area the absorption of the vibrations and the dampening in landings. Thanks to the new Natural Cant Evo pad your riding will feel totally different.
NATURAL CANT Customize your riding stance maintaining the natural riding position in order to facilitate the natural inclination of the legs! It features the Rebound heel absorber low density cushioning to increase in the heel area the absorption of the vibrations and the dampening in landings. Thanks to the new Natural Cant pad the riding flavor will smell differently.
ANKLE STRAPS

BUCKLES MG12
MAC 3
The MG 12 is the quickest, and most efficient ratchet in the market, lauded for its ability to slide five ladder steps every crank and its ergonomic shape to fasten the ratcheting and releasing operations. We have reduced the weight by 25% using Magnesium instead of aluminum and added even more precision with the new metal button release.
The MAC 3 is a fast and lightweight, nylon ratchet for advanced performance.
EXTRA HEAVY-DUTY MATERIAL Made of DuPont® DELRIN® 107, an high viscosity acetal polymer used to replace die-cast alloys and sheet metal in the automotive. A material with outstanding performances, high mechanical strength and fatigue endurance.
BOND TOOLLESS Drake presents a total redeveloped concept in binding technology, with our brand new tool less ladder ratchet and ankle strap, which improve security and strength. Our screws are directly injected into both the ratchet and ankle strap, this guarantees that your straps remain where they should be whilst hiking in deep powder or doing laps in the park. Technical, secure, faster and they even look better.
RECEPTOR Maintaining the ratchet alignment in your bindings, the Receptor keeps your gear straight when facing tough elements in the backcountry and ensuring you eliminate potentially hazardous happenings.

BOARD TECH CAMBERS MICRO CAMBER
CLASSIC CAMBER Developed to ensure riders get that stable and secure feel on their board when riding fast or going big. Classic Camber provides the most pop through this classic design.
FLAT
Featuring zero camber between your feet, and rockers on the tip and tail to lift them completely off the snow, the Flat boards are horizontally level. Super easy to slip and slide, this shape makes the board feel loose, soft, and effortless to press and butter to fuel your park creativity.
SKATE CAMBER
DOUBLE CAMBER A combination of both camber and rocker designs, Double Camber boards combine the stable edge contact benefits of camber boards and amazing flotation and flexibility of rockers in a single design. Double Camber boards blends the best qualities of each design to create a more versatile and all encompassing ride.
These boards are horizontally level, with a at base that touches the sides or even at the centre. They feature zero Camber between your feet with rockers outside each foot like a skateboard that lift the tip and tail completely off the snow. Super easy to slip and slide, this shape makes the board feel loose, soft, and effortless to press and butter.
Son of the Pow Camber technology, but with more focus on jibbing, the Skate Camber is flat between the bindings, perfect for hitting the rails and sliding boxes. With cambers on the outside of the bindings, you won’t lose your pop, and flat again on the nose and tail perfect for presses, which leaves the board very forgiving.
CORES PERFORMER The Performer core features top quality Aspen wood that gives boards a light and flexible feel while remaining responsive and sturdy. This strong durable core ensures agile responsiveness in all conditions.
PREMIUM POP The Premium Pop core is made from the finest quality poplar wood. Homogenously distributed throughout the board, its low density is created by narrow veining that gives the board a unique feel. The core transmits energy continuously from the tip to the tail, giving the rider a feeling of being glued to the board. It is designed for all terrain boards with freestyle aspects.
LIGHTWEIGHT POP From tip to tail, the Lightweight Pop core is constructed from light poplar wood. It has the same features as the Super Pop with less weight for higher ollies.
SUPER POP A tip to tail layer of pure solid poplar wood is the soul of the Super Pop core, which is lively, powerful, solid, and extremely durable.
BASES SINTRA 8000 The finest P-Tex material is ground together with Nano Carbon particles, and then heated, pressed, and sliced together to offer the fastest base in our collection, the Sintra 8000. Nano additives hold heat, and then discharge to break surface tension of the snow and reduce friction.
SINTRA 6000 Comprised of the highest quality P-Tex material, the Sintra 6000 base adds extra durability and speed over baseline models to deliver an extra push to your dynamic and progressive riding.
EXT 4000 The EXT 4000 is comprised of the highest quality P-Tex compound for a high-density base that is lighting fast and tough.

STAMINA
The new freeride dedicated CR soles are made in collaboration with Vibram to provide superior grip and stability while hiking to allow riders to traverse frozen slopes and gnarly ascents while mountaineering. Front and rear crampon compatibility makes these soles unique for extremely technical and difficult hikes.Compatible with: • Step in crampons • Strap on crampons • Hybrid crampons
DOUBLE CROSSBOW
VIBRAM
The Double Crossbow system technology is further augmented in the Vibram version, where we add their experience and credibility on outsoles to our unique concepts and construction. Vibram rubber features 30% more grip on ice and slippery surfaces.
74 | Boot Tech
The new all mountain/freestyle Stamina soles prised of an EVA RP compound that makes the material more elastic and responsive than traditional options. With two grip areas, the Stamina soles are lighter.
HYPERSHOCK This outsole guarantees comfort and high performance with maximum weight reduction. Innovative technology designed by Hypershock allows you to find strong holding traction even on the most slippery ice. The crossbow system helps you absorb the impact when hitting the biggest booters.
DOUBLE CROSSBOW The second generation of Crossbow takes the weightlessness and softness of its special EVA compound, and is updated with the ultimate Double Crossbow system, which results in the best performing sole on the market with four different grip areas. The new crossbow system provides a perfect balance of power transmission and cushioning.This particular outsole design is developed to allow maximum flexibility and the perfect feel throughout your foot.
LIGHTSTEP The new Lightstep Outsole is the result of dedicated research and development seeking high-performing materials with a specific weight lower than average sole materials. The outsole is now 35% lighter compared to a traditional snowboard outsole. It can keep a perfect grip thanks to the new structure and new gripping design geometry, which has been built with innovative materials in order guarantee higher abrasion resistance. On top of that, it provides a perfect thermal isolation, protecting feet from the cold outside, and it constantly cushions every vibration and impact.
UPPER CONSTRUCTION CAB5
OPEN
CLOSE
We made our well-known 540 heel retention system last forever, based on the same concept but now working internally. The boot laces are passing through brand new “Super Light� eyeloops, which are 25% lighter and 30% smaller than the previous ones while they keep the same performance, minimizing the friction thanks to their pulleys.This mechanism is a result of lace webbing directly linked to the tongue, the more you pull the lower lace the more you tighten the tongue to your ankle, sticking your heel to the boot with an increased retention and foot stability.
CAB3
OPEN
FLEX WINDOW The ability to create a boot, which is able to flex in a progressive manner required years of research, experience on the snow, and many lab tests. The Flex window enhances comfort and mobility in your foot, and it perfectly represents the balance between power transmission and a progressive flex. The side parts of the collar area slide on the upper-cuff transferring power in a constant way avoiding any possible overlap between materials which could lead to a waste of energy.
CUSTOM FLEX Add and customize variable flex in your boots by inserting two pieces of plastic to match your ideal riding style and comfort.
CLOSE
THERMO WELDING At the forefront with the application of Thermowelded Piping, Northwave has perfected its usage.This technology brings us distinct advantages both in terms of enabling us to integrate different materials and maintain an durable and resistant seamless outsole. This is particularly important in the ankle where there is no interruption of the upper boot technology bringing you progressive support from the heel to the calf. The visible asymmetricaly differentiates the three zones in the boot: it provides a stronger support on the outside for increased control when pressing, buttering and spinning; more flexibility on lateral inner boot; and lighter still above.
Based on the new CAB5 heel retention system, we definitely made a step forward in heel retention for mid-entry boots level. The lower lace is now passing through an internal tape webbing that is pushing the tongue down to the ankle at 45 degrees dramatically increasing the heel rentention. The more you pull the lower lace the more you lock your heel to the boot.
HEEL BUMPER Built into the exterior of your boot, our Heel Bumper guards against abrasion, wear and tear, and will give your boot extra reinforcement over its lifetime.
RUBBER TOE SHIELD Based on the success we had on applying protections on upper to protect against abrasion, we are now also using it on the toe area always to give an extra reinforcement and extend its lifetime.
