Finding one board to conquer it all is tough. Sure it would be nice if we could just have a quiver of boards, but lets be honest, that's not going to happen. So what do you do? Is it possible to find a board that's good in pow, decent on hard pack, fun in the park and somewhat affordable?
It sure is. The 'Quiver of One' series is dedicated to boards that shred the entire mountain. No need to sacrifice performance in the park or in pow, these boards perform in all conditions.

We love that it's a go to board no matter the condition. It's the perfect board to throw in the car when you have no idea what the conditions are or will be. Read More
Making perfect snowboards is all about getting the right balance of weight, flexibility and strength. You need to make sure that no matter how the board is configured, the experience of snowboarding will be of a very high quality. Something that plays an important part in this is the core of the snowboard.
Generally, snowboards are formed of a core, normally made out of some sort of wood, around which is fashioned fibreglass to give the board its shape. Some boarders have a preference over the wood that is used in the core of their board as it can often have an impact on the snowboarding experience.
For instance, if you are looking for a board that will be really quick, you might want to go for something light. This means you might want to consider a core made out of softwood, such as aspen, spruce or poplar. Softwoods are easy to mould, which makes them very useful in making snowboard cores. Read More
