Snowboard Technology
Lock and Load Camber is a new approach to "traditional" camber featured on the Mega and PLY Series. We started out with a traditional camber throughout the midsection of the board, and then we lengthened the traditional contact points of the board to create a flat, stable platform for locking on, and loading up the tail for huge ollies. The skate inspired camber profile has allowed us to create an entirely new feeling of power and stability in these boards.
The board is flat through the center and has a +1.5mm of positive camber in the tip and tail. Combine this with the DC's revolutionary Camber Core, you get the feel and pop of a full camber board while maintaining the forgiveness and pow float of a flat board.
Simply put, Anti-Camber means the board is flat between your stance, and curved away from the snow outside the stance. We adjust the length of the flat spot, and the amount of Anti-Camber to determine how the board is going to perform. A long flat spot is fast and stable, while a shorter flat spot is more maneuverable. Likewise less Anti-Camber translates to more power and drive, while more Anti-Camber makes the board more playful and forgiving.
Everything comes full circle and we knew it would with camber. It was only a matter of time before kids ditched their bananas and came back to camber. Snowboarders everywhere love traditional camber because it naturally offers explosive ollies and powerful turns by inherently loading up the tip and tail. Through the Anti Camber madness, we have kept traditional camber in two of our heritage, high end models, the Iikka Pro and MLF.
There are several key ingredients that go into making the perfect snowboard, but in the end it's the overall feel that is most important. The Feel-O-Meter will help you choose the best board for your personal style. We highlight three key factors to help you determine what kind of ride you're looking for: Flex, Maneuverability, and Camber.
DC's Camber Core is the secret ingredient that allows us to give our anti-Camber boards the pop of a traditional Camber board, yet remain fun and playful. This unique feature helped our boards win several awards last season. by adding a unique arch shaped profile to the wood core, the fiberglass takes on a completely new geometry, like that of a bridge. We've integrated this "arched fiberglass" shape into the anti-camber zone to give the boards more pop and added resistance when flexing the tip and tail. This also gives our anti-Camber boards the stability of a traditional camber board.
After receiving rave reviews and awards Radius To Flat has earned its spot on every board in our line. The flat surfaces at the tip and tail of the board provide lift in powder to keep you floating in the deepest snow, while the radius blends in perfectly with the sidecut to create effortless transitions from edge to edge.
The Structurn Base™ structure is scientifically proven to be a faster base in all conditions. Just like the dimples of a golf ball break tension and make it fly farther, these small dimples in our base break water tension and allow your board to glide faster, turn easier and allow you to ride longer.
