2023 Instrument Snowboard

For some of us, each run at the resort is like listening to a jazz band play a live show – it’s spontaneous, making decisions on the fly of where to carve, slash, and how fast to roll into the next side hit.

Product details

This directional snowboard features a directional camber line and utilizes our Volume Shift™ design to add the correct width to the board for laying trenches on groomers. A longer radius in the tip of the board eases turn initiation, while a deeper sidecut underfoot helps to rail turns. The Instrument features a 3/4” inch setback and 10mm of taper to help it plane out in the deep stuff, and it features a hard, fast Sintered 4000 base.

Inside, our sustainably sourced S1 core is equal parts durable and damp underfoot. Carbon Torque Forks™ extend from the insert pack to the contact points for responsive power transfer, and the entire package is wrapped in our ICG™ 10 Biax Fiberglass – featuring tip-to-tail carbon stringers for increased pop and extra stability for when it gets rowdy.

NEW! S1 Core – Smooth flexing and durable enough to pack a five-year warranty, the S1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber – Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia. Aspen and Bamboo work together to highlight the snap and response of this wood and a Bamboo-dominant underfoot section at 30° to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. We’ve also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail to help to reduce swing weight.

ICG™ 10 GLASS WITH CARBON:

Integrating Carbon Fiber stringers that run the length of the board into our fiberglass increases the snap of the snowboard without adding unnecessary rigidity.
