For some of us, each run at the resort is like listening to a jazz band play a live show – it’s spontaneous, making decisions on the fly of where to carve, slash, and how fast to roll into the next side hit. The easiest way to describe it is to simply get into the groove…
This directional snowboard features a directional camber line and utilizes our Volume Shift™ design to add the correct width to the board for laying trenches on groomers. A longer radius in the tip of the board eases turn initiation, while a deeper sidecut underfoot helps to rail turns. The Instrument features a 3/4” inch setback and 10mm of taper to help it plane out in the deep stuff, and it features a hard, fast Sintered 4000 base.
Inside, our sustainably sourced S1 core is equal parts durable and damp underfoot. Carbon Torque Forks™ extend from the insert pack to the contact points for responsive power transfer, and the entire package is wrapped in our ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass – featuring tip-to-tail carbon stringers for increased pop and extra stability for when it gets rowdy.
Shape
Directional Twin – A twin shape for freestyle moves with directional flex for high-speed power.
Radial Sidecut – Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent forward and switch response.
Core
Aspen core – Full-length aspen core with high-density birch strips in the binding area.
FSC-certified wood core
Laminates
Biaxial Low Density Fiberglass – Low-density fibers create lighter boards that retain their playful, forgiving flex forever.
Sidewalls
ABS sidewalls – The molecular structure of ABS can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining strength for energy transfer and cushioning properties for impact absorption.
Base
Extruded base – Offers durable glide with low-maintenance characteristics.
Standard stone finish
Edges
Non-biting edge bevel – Fully mismatched tip and tail edges for a snag-free ride.
Shape
Tapered Directional – The tail width is slightly tapered (2-20 mm). This facilitates turn initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge-holding on hard snow.
Radial Sidecut – Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent forward and switch response.
Core
Aspen Select Core – Each strip of FSC-certified wood is hand-selected to ensure unsurpassed core quality and lightness.
Popster – The Popster core profile tapers underfoot and thickens on the outside of the bindings before tapering again at the tip and tail to maximize the wood’s natural snap and pop. It’s as if your skateboard kicktail is finally connected to your snowboard.
FSC-certified wood core
Laminated
Ghost Basalt Stringers – Basalt strings are sewn into a trail layer for durable pop, control and wet ride at speed, as well as easy handling when you stay calm.
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – European-made layers of medium-density fiberglass guarantee consistent quality, for lightweight, lively boards.
Sidewalls
ABS Sidewalls – The molecular structure of ABS can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining strength for energy transfer and damping properties for impact absorption.
Base
Sintered base – Offers a moderate balance between the speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
Fine stone finish – The fine stone finish helps to accelerate in powder or softer snow conditions.
Edges
All-Mountain Edge Bevels – A 1° bevel for edge hold on key parts of the rib line and a 2° bevel between the feet. This gives very solid edge hold, without snagging.
