Board Information

Riders who want an amazing, unrivaled jib board will seek out the Manual. The shape is perfectly symmetrical with a long running length and short nose and tail. The Manual’s short tips reduces “hooking” the nose or tail when jumping onto rails and obstacles. The long running length means you can downsize about three to four centimeters from your normal size board. Shorter means lighter and in turn; easier to ollie. The Biax glass delivers smooth flex for kicked-up pressing, from street jibs to the terrain park fun boxes.

·      Core: GNARTM - Wood is good. The GNAR™ is a basic core with a superior feel. Lightweight and flexible with an incredible amount of pop. This core is snappy and responsive for total freestyle fun.

·      Laminates: Biax- This is the foundation from which every other laminate configuration is derived; basic and completely functional. This construction offers time-tested, catch-free response and stability through its 0º/90º fiber orientation.

·      Base: Free Base- This base is the smooth under surface of your snowboard that, when combined with gravity and inertia, allows you to glide effortlessly down the snowy hill. And as it’s name implies, the Free Base comes free with purchase.
