DESCRIPTION
The wizard of boardz
Scandalous love child of the iconic 420 and PYL boards, the Hybrid immediately got attention with last year’s release from anyone that knew anything about its parents. It has the shorter/wider surface planning of the 420 and employs the Tapered UnderBite outline originally unveiled on the PYL. Floaty and maneuverable with confident edge hold and responsive snap out of turns, we’ve created a perfect hybrid of these two boards that has constantly grown in popularity.
Mark Kowalchuk designed the graphic : “The snow wizard is a nod to last years Hybrid having trees and being in the pow and trees. The idea is that this forest wizard is conjuring more snow. The norther lights are just lighting the way in the night.”

FEATURES:
CAMROCK
The response of camber with floatability of rocker. By combining camber and rocker you allow the board to be both responsive and floaty. The camber is between your feet as a spring keeping your contact points on the ground as you go in and out of turns allowing you to keep that edge hold longer. Once compressed the camber will accentuate the rocker and lift the nose out more allowing it to float.
TAPERED UNDERBITE
More floatation and total edge control. Similar looking to “wings” or channels on a surfboard, it functions a little different on snow. Each side of the board’s effective edge is segmented into 3 distinct parts that step horizontally inward rather than tapering.
POPLAR/PAULOWNIA/BAMBOO
Creating a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, lightens it up by replacing 30% of the Poplar with Paulownia and then inserts two bamboo stringers down the full length for added pop and response.
