Whether you are into freestyle tricks, big air or just freeriding, the Empire will expand your possibilities. The Empire snowboard is a true twin tip with a Dual Transitional Sidecut, Structurn and Energy Plates. Featuring high strength to weight ratio wood core, the Empire is designed for a smooth ride in all conditions. The core is profiled to deliver an even response to long periods of edging which is unique to snowkiting. The Quadrax orientation of the lay-up distributes binding pressure over a greater area, because the 30-degree axis fibers add extra torsional stiffness. The stainless treated steel edges and Crystal EzCare base all make for a snowkite board with the highest durability.

• PROFLEX CORE
  Specially profiled to provide a kite specific reflex, the Empire core is made up of 2 different poplar woods for an excellent strength to weight ratio (for hard landings and extra pop).
• LAMINATE
  Quadrax Glass with 0/+30/-30/90degree fiber orientation, is specifically designed for snowboarding to control tortional twist and to add pop (reflex).
• ENERGY PLATES
  An extra layer of biax glass is placed under the toe/heel area of the binding for added compression strength & to disperse energy from the binding.
• DUAL TRANSITIONAL SIDECUT
  Very mellow radius towards the tip/tail for better stability at speed & for more freedom on
  take-offs/landings, while the center of the sidecut is tight for quicker turns at slower speeds.
• MICRO INSERT PATTERN
  4X2 insert pattern so you can get any stance you want.
• KITE SPECIFIC TUNING
  2 degree edge profile convex base, low camber are designed to maximize performance and freedom.
• Crystal EZ CARE BASE WITH STRUCTURN
  The fastest all condition base finish in the world. It’s good in all snow conditions. The tiny dimples (similar to a golf ball) are pressed into the base, to break up suction and improve glide. The base material features a super hard, abrasive resistant material for added durability & low maintenance.
