The Alpha is the speed addicts choice. The short nose and tail lengths combined with a long effective edge to board length ratio allows fast lengthy carves at ludicrous speeds. A full traditional camber profile ensures stability and grip on the toughest of snow whilst the worlds hardest sintered base ensures unmatched speed in all conditions. Our carbon X layup is placed over the triax fibreglass layer for rapid edge to edge response and power transfer.

A carbon X layup is placed under the fibreglass layer to increase pop, snap and drive out of turns without adding overall weight compared to traditional fibreglass only constructions. By extending the X shape from contact to opposite contact the Alpha is increased in rigidity for unbeliveable edge to edge response. Carbon also adds flex memory, supporting the camber shape so the board remains lively over time and use.
The Alpha is one of the most physically striking boards in our collection with its sharp lines that scream aggression, and a refined, dynamic shape inspired by nature and icons of automotive power. Infatuated by their aesthetic and addiction to speed, we took elements from these beautiful supercars and translated it into not only the Alpha's shape, but also the screen prints and foil hits which create the unique graphic.
Strong, faster, easier and designed to help dial-in the perfect stance for you. The Channel® gives you the ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings.
Infused urethane sidewalls which reduce vibration and impact, similar to how urethane skateboard wheels create a smooth ride on rough concrete. Dampening the ride, reduces board chatter and leg fatigue and provides the ride with the smoothest ride ever.
