Armada

An all-mountain snowboard shape with a freestyle flex.

The Sicko is insane. A perfect blend of response and board feel for linking creative lines while providing additional float on deeper days. Tested, refined and ridden by Alek Oestreng.

Traditional camber with early rise nose

Construction + Core

BAMBOOSTERS CARBON STRINGERS: Bamboosters are our proprietary 3D carbon wrapped bamboo stringers that are strategically placed in a milled out section of the core to enhance response and pop in the boards longitudinal flex while preserving the existing tortional flex.

TITANAL IMPACT PLATES: A thin Titanal plate is placed in a milled out section of core with strategic flex pattern cut into the alloy.

POP-LOWNIA BAMBOO CORE: By utilizing a poplar/paulownia/bamboo blend, strength is paramount with just the right amount of stiffness, while sacrificing nothing in weight. We added bamboo stringers in the contact points to provide a stiffer flex while pointing it or railing turns at terminal velocity, while the bamboo stringers add pop when it’s needed most.

HYBRID GLASS MIX: Biax layup on the top of the board and Triax layup on the bottom of the board, providing a perfect blend of responsiveness, explosiveness and compliance.

Base + Edges

SINTERED BASE: Our sintered base holds wax exceptionally well, for riders who wanna rip full-speed all over the resort. Composed of PTEX3000, a high end HDPE that is ultra-high in molecular weight and allows the boards to glide extremely well in all snow conditions.
