With all of the bigger picture turmoil in the world, the last thing anyone wants to hear is complaints about how snowboarding has changed and how things were so much better back in the day when.

When chairlifts crawled like sloths up the hill and your leg ached by the time it reached the top? Stop your whining and get stoked!

If you can t find happiness when you re snowboarding, chances are, you can t find happiness period. There s no better feeling than shredding with friends or family.

2 With all of the bigger picture turmoil in the world, the last thing anyone wants to hear is complaints about how snowboarding has changed and how things were so much better back in the day when...when what? When many resorts didn t even allow snowboarding on their slopes? When snow parks with rad features, perfectly groomed jumps and half-pipes didn t even exist? When chairlifts crawled like sloths up the hill and your leg ached by the time it reached the top? Stop your whining and get stoked! Snowboarding has never been easier, equipment has never been better or more user friendly than it is now. If you re not having fun that s a you problem that needs fixing. If you can t find happiness when you re snowboarding, chances are, you can t find happiness period. There s no better feeling than shredding with friends or family. The shared joy of being in the mountains, reconnecting with nature, enjoying the freshest of air, amazing views and the stoke of making your first turns of the day should cure anyone suffering from the woes of the daily grind live to work, work to live. The best trips are often the last minute calls from a friend inviting you to take a day off to go shred because it s going to be epic! The break in your routine will do you good life is too short go! You will only regret not going. You will only regret hearing how epic it was when you still have plenty of sick days left at the end of the season.

There s simply no substitute for a solid wood core in the construction of snowboards for durability, longevity and lasting performance.

It s one reason why you see so many older model Santa Cruz boards still being ridden today.

Santa Cruz offers different shape options to meet varying rider and performance needs.

9 There s simply no substitute for a solid wood core in the construction of snowboards for durability, longevity and lasting performance. That s why all Santa Cruz Snowboards feature our tip-to-tail wood core construction. Over time, nothing else maintains the shape and flex better for the life of a snowboard. It s one reason why you see so many older model Santa Cruz boards still being ridden today. Laying down heavy carves on groomers, pressing in/out of snowpark features, flexing off kickers and into pipe walls Santa Cruz boards are built to last. Our reputation is in our ride since Santa Cruz offers different shape options to meet varying rider and performance needs. From Rocker shapes that work with you offering quick edge to edge power transfers for easier spins and rotations off jumps to traditional camber shapes for stability when speed carving down the mountain and threading the pipe. We actually care and pay attention to consumer feedback, talk with our rider s about their demands, testing and refining what works, fine tuning shapes, flexes and profiles that deliver real rider benefits, not marketing hype and BS buzzwords. Wide shapes meet the needs of riders with bigger feet or those looking for a little extra floatation in back-country powder. High molecular speed base Solid tip to tail woodcore Cambered boards are here to stay and are the go-to shapes for stability and reliable edge control for experienced riders and all-terrain snowboard enthusiasts. The preferred shape of our pipe riders, there s no substitute for camber when taking on transitions and trying to maintain speed. Many advanced riders choose camber shapes for these reasons and favor camber boards for half-pipe riding as well as for attacking natural terrain features. Available on the Rock Hand Competition, SRX, Da Bomb, Asymetric AXX, Powslayer. Axial woven fibreglass Reinforced stainless steel inserts Rock hard steel edges Resilient and impact absorbing elastomer Scratchresistent topsheet Impact resistant ABS sidewall Our Combo-Camber shape offers improved floatation in powder with a slight incline at the nose and tail that helps the rider stay on top while maintaining exceptional maneuverability. The mid section camber adds significant pop to the board and helps maintain continuous edge contact on steep, groomed slopes while remaining responsive and stable when initiating and landing difficult tricks.
