Carbon Bedrock Inserts
Lightweight carbon-backed inserts provide dependable pull strength while allowing the board’s intended flex pattern to remain consistent beneath the rider.
Dura Light Base
A lightweight 0.2 mm base material balances low weight with the strength and protection required for regular freeride sessions.
