“My board is like the fancy version of the Jib Board. It has some carbon fiber in there for even more pop and stability when going fast. It also has a faster, harder base. I thought it made sense to have a legit wizard on my board because hopefully he will help me invent some new tricks this season. Wizards rule everything, but I’m pretty sure there are no wizards in Iceland because we are all Vikings!”

“My pro model is an asymmetric board, which makes it easier to stomp tricks on the heelside. I am so damn pumped on it and the shape makes you feel badass. I mostly ride it for park, but it’s a really good all around board, no big deal. I went for a mellow Back To The Future inspired theme for the graphics. The idea behind my cheese-grater-hammer-dental-floss-pick logo is just a combination of random things I really like, and I actually have them all tattooed on my body.”

This is our classic jib deck with a little camber update. It now has zero (or flat) camber because we think it makes the most sense for jib boards. The graphic story continues on though. Remember last years’ graphic where the skeleton guy was going up the chairlift? Well, this is the aftermath. He’s gotten himself buried and dismembered in an avalanche on the way down. It’s a reminder to always check the avalanche conditions before you go jibbing.

This is our go-to park board that has a little stiffer flex and more stability to hold up to jumps. It’s still awesome to jib though. People were stoked on the ‘T-Rex Unicorn Fat Human Pig Riding a Magic Carpet’ and the ‘Mayhem in the Classroom’ boards we did so we decided to blend those graphics together. It turned into a dinosaur party. Maybe they partied too hard and died out that way. Who knows?

This is a new board we decided to make for bigger riders, powder, fast riding and just straight sending it. It’s more of an all mountain freestyle board. It comes in bigger sizes so now all you big guys have no excuse to not ride a Lobster! We went for a mellow graphic for this one, just nice and simple. It’s gonna be fun to send it in the backcountry with this thing!

TRIPLE TRIPLE BASE BASE TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY

Triple Base Technology (3BT) is all about blending the benefits of camber and rocker into a design that actually works. 3BT divides the nose and tail in three sections: a toeside base section, a centerbase section and a heelside base section. The toeside and heelside base areas are gradually uplifted starting outsde of the binding area. The total uplift distance and angle starts at zero under the bindings and gradually increases towards the widest points of the board. This design produces remarkable changes in the way the board rides.

3BT 3BT FLAVORS FLAVORS

The board keeps a camber backbone so it has loads of pop, suspension and control. The tips further boost pop since their concavity focuses and amplifies ollie pressure. Turns are easier, edge-to-edge transitions are swifter and edge hold is more solid. The angled sidebases generate the playfulness, forgiveness and reduced edge catch that rockered designs are praised for. The boards haul ass because when pointed straight there is less edge drag in the snow slowing you down. The hull shaped nose acts like a ship in powder, planing and floating on top. The benefits are unreal, really. Don’t be afraid to send it on 3BT.

FLAT

TURN INITIATION

ON EDGE

When riding flatbased only the centerbase section is on the snow so the board travels fast and straight with no hooky movement or edge catch.

With a tiny amount of pressure and angle, the sidebase(s) starts to engage near the bindings, but the pressure remains constant along the contact edge.

When on edge the 3D shaped sidecut forms a complete arc with the snow, offering unparalleled and powerful edge hold.

CAMBER CAMBER AND AND ROCKER ROCKER IN IN ONE ONE 3D 3D SHAPE SHAPE

Our JIB 3BT shape is tuned with a true twin shape, soft flex and the widest centerbase in the range for locked in presses, stable slides and powerful ollies.

This design features the longest section of edge uplift that starts around the bindings and extends outward, offering a loose, buttery, forgiving feel and less hang-ups.

PARK 3BT is a true twin shape great for all kinds of park riding, from kickers and jibs.

The centerbase section is wide and the camber is close to being flat to keep those presses legit. The slightly wider sidebases make these boards more stable at high speeds—just what is needed for solid kicker riding. This combination of center and sidebase geometry makes PARK 3BT perfect for boards that need high-speed stability without losing any jib capabilities.

Our all mountain 3BT FREESTYLE shape is the most versatile in the line. Its twin-ish shape, more aggressive camber profile, medium centerbase width, and longer contact length between the feet produce a powerful ride with freestyle tendencies and powder float. It’s ideal for riders that like to charge the whole mountain, from powder to park.

Our ASYMMETRIC 3BT shaping is a twist on our twin design that differently balances your body’s build on the board with a shorter edge uplift area on the heelside, which offers better heelside stability.

The toeside edge, where you have more control and leverage over the board, has a longer uplift section for a loose, playful feeling. The board shape remains completely twin; it’s only the uplift that is asymmetrical.

Under the weight of the rider the camber is loaded, but the edges are lifted at the tip and tail contacts points. It’s like camber and rocker at the same time.
