Board Art by Mike Parillo (@mikeparillo): Magical mirrored prismic refractory Orca interpretations as seen through the mind and hands of Mike Parillo. This year’s Orca eye patch base is that of our beloved local K-Pod resident “K-12 Sequim” mother of last years “K-37 Rainshadow Orca. Mervin is located in Sequim in the “Rainshadow” of the Olympic Mountains so these Apex salmon eaters are near and dear to us.

Profile:

Hybrid Camber

The perfect rocker/camber hybrid. Shortened rocker between inserts and camber underfoot with rockered tip/tail for control/precision/float.

Central rocker builds in carve, edge hold, and float. Cambers builds in stability and control. Full contact and control in all conditions.

Shape:

Directional Tapered

Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.

Flex:

6 - 8 (Scale 1-10)

A powerful Surfing machine.

Base:

Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
