Manufacturing & Technology
How many steps are in the pressing/production process?
Do you hand-tune the edges at the factory?
How do you test for durability and flex consistency
Why do different models have different price points?
How do you ensure consistent flex across different production batches?
Can you explain your "Triax" vs "Biax" fiberglass technology?
Our production process encompasses 20 distinct manufacturing steps as well as 5 stages of quality control inspections.
Yes, each piece is meticulously crafted by hand using artisanal methods.
Our product lines are tailored for different experiences. The Race series is engineered for lightweight efficiency to boost on-course performance, while the Pro series focuses on delivering the superior ride feel sought by advanced skiers, not just outright speed. These differences in material selection and craftsmanship are reflected in the pricing. You can explore detailed technical profiles for each series on our website, where every product lists its full suite of technologies.
Pricing reflects both material expenses and R&D investment. This cost structure varies by model, with advanced/expert boards commanding higher R&D allocations due to their more sophisticated materials and engineering.
We ensure the consistency and high performance of every snowboard through a series of precision processes: we use CNC machining for accurate core shaping, adhere to strict material selection standards (such as uniform wood types), employ automated pressing and heating cycles, and implement rigorous quality control including performance testing. We utilize advanced technology to precisely control all key variables, from the core profile to the laminate density.
Triax Fiberglass is engineered for aggressive, high-speed performance. Its 3-way (0°, ±45°) weave delivers superior stiffness, torsional response, and power transmission. In contrast, Biax Fiberglass features a 2-way (90°) weave, resulting in a more forgiving, versatile, and easier-to-flex feel. This makes Biax ideal for all-terrain exploration and beginner boards, offering a more playful flex compared to the precise rigidity of Triax.
How do you minimize waste during the manufacturing process?
Do you have any third-party environmental certifications?
How does the "camber" shape hold up over time?
How often do you release new graphics or models?
How long does it take to manufacture a snowboard? (What is the production lead time?)
What materials do you use for the core (Wood type, Carbon, etc.)?
We employ efficient nesting during material cutting to minimize waste.
We are committed to sustainability from packaging to product: all our paper packaging is FSC-certified, and each wooden snowboard sold contributes to worldwide tree-planting efforts.
Deformation is prevented through our precision pressing techniques and sustained pressure application, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Our release frequency includes an annual update to product models and quarterly updates to board profiles.
- Each snowboard is fully custom-built from scratch after your order is placed, ensuring personalized fit and performance.
- The standard queue time is 5 to 10 days. Raw material preparation, manufacturing, and quality inspection each require approximately 5 days.
- The total lead time is about 15 days during off-peak seasons. During peak seasons, the total lead time extends to 15-30 days.
- The Vertex series does not contain any wood core. Other series incorporate varying degrees of carbon fiber, depending on the specific model.
- With the exception of the Lan Tour Standard and Lite editions, all other series feature a carbon fiber reinforced construction.
Are your production processes sustainable or eco-friendly?
How do you ensure quality control on every board?
Are your edges full-wrap or partial?
How is the top sheet graphic applied to ensure durability?
Why do snowboards with wood cores sometimes vary slightly in weight?
Our commitment to sustainability includes the use of eco-friendly adhesives today and a pledge to launch products built entirely from sustainable materials.
Our quality is ensured through a multi-stage process: from precise 3D scanning of every board to eliminate tolerances, to advanced image-recognition measurement for performance verification, and finally, a rigorous triple-check by our skilled craftsmen.
it depends on snowboard profile and series. Full wrap edges go all the way around the snowboard and join at one end, this is the strongest type of edge for a snowboard, although it can be hard to repair if damaged badly. Partial wrap edges are where the edges just run along the sides of the board where they will make contact with the snow. Because there is less metal used this makes a snowboard marginally lighter, but because the continuous shape is lost the edges are not always as strong and it can leave the tips of the snowboard more prone to damage.
After graphic application, top sheets receive protective treatments to enhance durability and resistance to impacts, UV exposure, and moisture. These treatments typically include clear coatings that protect the graphics while providing the finished surface that riders will see and touch.
We kindly explain that this is mainly related to the characteristics of wood and environmental factors.
