Rail it, float it or send it, The YES. Optimistic Snowboard's mid-wide waist width coupled with a deep aggressive sidecut and underbite edges set you up for a turning experience like no other! Response, stability and edge hold in any snow condition. This thing floats and handles choppy conditions better than just about anything else out there. Enjoy the shorter swing weight by riding it a few centimeters shorter than your normal board to unlock its true versatility or run it at your normal length to really experience the solid edge hold. The number one board ridden in the masters class of un-sponsored riders at the Baker Banked Slalom! Flex Rating (1 = soft, 10 = most responsive) 9 Suggested Use Powder, Freeride Camber / Rocker Style 765 Camber R0.2-C0.4-R0.2 mm Slightly dialed-up rocker with a responsive camber. Shape Directional UnderBite UnderBite edges re-distribute a rider's weight in such a way that it enhances turning ease and edge hold. Creating divots inward at the binding area reduces and disrupts the surface area of the edge that has contact with the snow while the board is turning. This increases the edge pressure by distributing your weight/energy in the areas where you need it - from the binding out, and through the center of the board where the carving arc is taking place. This segmentation of the sidecut into 3 key zones focuses your body weight onto areas that initiate, hold and release turns. Core Material Carbon PowerDrive 2.0 Poplar/Paulownia Evolving over the years, the PowerDrive core is always about maximizing the power and energy of any given shape. The Optimistic begins with the same light, snappy Poplar and Bamboo core featured on the Standard and Ghost. Then, two custom programmed channels are milled about 30mm in from the edge, running parallel to and matching the sidecut dimensions. Inserted into these channels are pre-bent bamboo stringers wrapped in carbon. The end result is a highly responsive core that precisely matches and compliments the outline of each board. From intuitive turn initiation, solid edge hold and explosive release, the PowerDrive core is constantly active. Construction The YES. Snowboards Lifetime Warranty YES.

Pellets or course powder is pressed until it forms a solid. There are several suppliers for the entire industry and they each have different codes for them, depending on the color and transparency. These codes can make it seem like you're getting many different kinds and grades of sintered but they're all pretty much the same as far as you and I will ever tell. True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions.
