Description
ALL MOUNTAIN / DIRECTIONAL
Matt Biolos’ surf inspired resort ripper. The Rocket features a brand new floatier nose shape, progressive elliptical sidecuts paired with a powerful set back camber and stance to create the ultimate hard pack carving power trenching machine. An easy initiating and extra floaty early rise nose and powerful poppy tail rip through the storm and shine in every condition on the mountain. A mid-wide outline has lots of planing surface, explodes through no toe drag power turns and floats the soft stuff. A firm flexing, sustainable Aspen/Paulownia wood core, rugged sintered base and eco-sublimated graphics will have you blasting around the mountain all year long. This Rocket is balanced to perfection and always ready for lift off.

Flex
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Rocket Power
If you want a board that is fast and responsive but feels like you are gliding down a wave this is the board for you. This board was my daily driver every time it snowed, the big nose made it float over any snow surface I was riding that day. I even would ride it in the park on days I wanted to mix things up. The rocket was perfect for riding anywhere around the mtn as well as any snow condition you came across. I would 100% recommend this board.

CAT MASTER
Took that board to my latest cat trip and it RIPS . Hold so well during powder turns and you will never think you have that much POP in powder than with that board. Lightweight and stiff enough for a powerful ride .

Awesome Powder Board
I'm 6' 2", 175, size 12 boots and I got the 157.5 as a powder board. I've been riding it in up to 12" of fresh powder and it's awesome. It's nimble, stable, fast. Just took me a minute to get used to the camber profile coming from a rockered board. I really like this board!! There were moments after dropping off stuff I swore I would tomahawk, but it kept me on top of the snow really well.

Radical Rocket!
I had a friend tell me the Rocket made him hate all his other snowboards, and that he now has 3 Rockets. I was like “ok sure, we’ll see.” He was right. After riding this board I literally am contemplating hanging up the rest and calling it good. This board is the most fun, and interesting ride. Rides longer than it is when you need it to, on a crusty groomer, or perfect corduroy, but is sooooo easy to pop through the trees on. It’s quick edge to edge, and cuts through PNW cascade concrete like a hot butter knife through..well..butter. It makes that wet heavy snow feel effortlessly light. This board is highly underrated. Get one. But I can’t promise you won’t have buyers remorse...for spending money on any boards you bought before this one.
