Beta APX Snowboard

Directional boards are designed to travel forward. The Shape differs from front to rear, whilst the flex, sidecut and stance are setback from the centre. Directional boards have a longer nose and shorter tail; this increases lift and float. The setback stance and flex enhance carving performance.

Swallow Tail splits the board's tail into two sections with a gap between them. This gap helps sink the tail of the board in deep snow by releasing the pressure of the snow so it has little float, allowing the nose to rise. It can also whip out the back of the turn, as the forks deflect more than a traditional tail shape.

The Drop Out is derived from the shape of a bird of prey's tail. It generates more control when up on edge, but also allows for extra agility and deep, tight turns.

A 3D curved nose helps the board roll smoothly from edge to edge, creating a natural, surf-like flow through each turn.
