Type: all-mountain snowboard
Flex: 7 (uit 10)

Profiel: Cam Rock
The Alfa has camber under the bindings and flat in between for stability and pop, without being too aggressive. The Alfa also has rocker in the nose and tail for easy turn initiation and exit. This wavy curved shape gives THE Alfa its versatility. It doesn’t focus on any specific terrain, but excels everywhere.

Shape: Directional twin
The nose and tail shape are the same in both directions, but the nose is longer than the tail because you’re standing a little back from the center. This makes THE Alfa very all-round, stable at any speed, and easy to turn.

Kern: Bamboost lite core
The center of a board with a mix of different (performance) zones made from FSC bamboo, beech and paulownia.

Toevoegingen kern:
Titanal volt plates: Titanal is a technical material that stores energy. A metal alloy that provides smoothness, great dampening, and stability to our boards.

Carbon fiber stringers: A dose of carbon that adds stiffness, liveliness, and more powerful rebound.

Biax Fiberglass: Biax Fiberglass is providing longitudinal stiffness with torsional forgiveness, for a stable and smooth feeling and easy turning.

Topsheet fiberglass: Triax fiberglass
Triax fiberglass: Triax Fiberglass has 3 layers, this makes the board more energetic and delivers maximum power transfer to the edges.

Base: Graphite carbon recycled sintered base
The finished product is a superstrong, lightweight, and porous base. The porousness holds wax better and longer. Carbon and graphite additives make this base super-fast gliding too.

Edge lift technology:
Our boards are 3D pressed with a subtle lift (max. 1.5mm) of the base and edges at the corners. This raises the contact-points just off the snow. With THE Edge Lift Technology, you’re less likely to catch edges when riding. This makes it easier to make turns with more natural turn initiation and exit, you’ll have a smoother ride, more fun to learn new tricks, and it provides extra floatation in the powder.

Multi-grip technology:
Multi-Grip technology means extra contact points on the heel- and toe sides for extra grip in icy conditions. Think of it as snow-chains on your car tires. But Multi-grip technology is extremely subtle at just under 1mm bumps on the edges underneath your binding areas. It’s almost invisible to the naked eye and unnoticeable in softer snow, but it results in smooth rides with extra grip in harder snow.
