The Boards Company THE Down Town Delta 155 Snowboard

Dit is hem dan, het eerste, enige en echte Down Town snowboard! Een alleskunner, de rally wagen onder de snowboards, THE Down Town Delta! Perfect voor het carven van bochten op de piste. Een tikkeltje breder, dus ook geschikt voor de Hollandsche grote voeten. Carbon, kevlar en basalt stringers over de hele lengte voor stabiliteit, maar mét demping. Multi-grip in de staalkanten, voor extra grip op ijzige pistes. Camber tussen de bindingen voor pop en controle. Rocker in de nose voor wat extra float in poeder en om het af te toppen: een supersnelle grafiet & carbon base.

Om het af te toppen heeft Jay van Vuig er een print geïnspireerd op de apen van Down Town op gezet en is de topsheet mat doorschijnend, zodat je ook de palownia, berken en vuren houten kern kunt zien.

Type: All-mountain snowboard
Flex: 6 (uit 10)

Profiel: Powder Camber
THE Delta is flat between the bindings for stability and pop, has a camber blending into a longer rockered nose for float and easy turn initiation and a short camber in the tail for energetic turn release. This profile makes THE Delta a fun groomer carver and powder slasher, excelling in turns at any speed.

Shape: Tapered directional
The nose is substantially longer and wider than the stubby tail, for stability at higher speeds, quick turns and for an easy float in powder snow. Its stance is also set back, which allows you to ride the Delta shorter than your usual snowboard. THE Delta provides the ideal combination of powerful turns and a surfy feel.

Kern: Goodwood Lite Core
Goodwood Lite Core’s mix of woods provide boards stability and a perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility.

THE Goodwood Lite Core comprises four different FSC certified woods: Beech, Paulownia, Poplar and Spruce. Beech is a hardwood that provides stiffness. Paulownia is very lightweight, but almost as strong as hardwood. Poplar wood is a highly sought-after material for snowboards. It’s semi-hard, strong and flexible. Flexible spruce grows comparatively fast, making it also the environmentally better choice.

Toevoegingen kern:
Carbon kevlar basalt fiber stringers: A two- and three-layer fibreglass wrap that is lightweight and provides strength. Fibreglass is a durable material that increases board life.

Biax Fiberglass: Biax Fiberglass is providing longitudinal stiffness with torsional forgiveness, for a stable and smooth feeling and easy turning.

Topsheet fiberglass: Triax fiberglass
Triax fiberglass: Triax Fiberglass has 3 layers, this makes the board more energetic and delivers maximum power transfer to the edges.

Base: Graphite carbon recycled sintered base
The finished product is a superstrong, lightweight, and porous base. The porousness holds wax better and longer. Carbon and graphite additives make this base super-fast gliding too.

Edge lift technology:
Our boards are 3D pressed with a subtle lift (max. 1.5mm) of the base and edges at the corners. This raises the contact-points just off the snow. With THE Edge Lift Technology, you’re less likely to catch edges when riding. This makes it easier to make turns with more natural turn initiation and exit, you’ll have a smoother ride, more fun to learn new tricks, and it provides extra floatation in the powder.

Multi-grip technology:
Multi-Grip technology means extra contact points on the heel- and toe sides for extra grip in icy conditions. Think of it as snow-chains on your car tires. But Multi-grip technology is extremely subtle at just under 1mm bumps on the edges underneath your binding areas. It’s almost invisible to the naked eye and unnoticeable in softer snow, but it results in smooth rides with extra grip in harder snow.

Pow Savers:
Pow Savers are extra inserts to set your bindings back and to transform your board into a powder board. When using the Pow Savers, your board’s nose will be longer and the tail shorter, meaning it’s much easier lifting the nose. You’ll be glad for them when you wake up, and outside it’s covered in a fresh coat of powder. It also avoids back-leg burners and nose-dive cartwheels.
