Furberg POW Snowboard

Long Turning Radius

It is standard to use a longer turning radius on a freeride ski than on a slalom ski in the skiing industry; however, Furberg Snowboards is the only brand to adapt the turning radius for freeride snowboards. A longer turning radius generates better stability at higher speeds and, more importantly, gives the boards a calmer and more forgiving behavior by distributing the edge pressure over the entire contact length.

 

Flat Camber

For maximum flotation without losing responsiveness and grip.
The slight camber under foot helps to achieve better edge-hold, a more responsive behavior, and ultimate flotation as well as still offering great skinning grip.

 

Long Rocker and Reverse Sidecut Radiuses

When a board is ridden flat on the snow, a long rocker transition will make the nose of the board impact irregularities with a low angle of incidence and slide over with little resistance. Many snowboard brands are aware of this, but only we have combined the rocker with a reverse sidecut in nose and tail to maintain this low angle of incidence when riding the board on edge. The long transitions of the reverse sidecut make the board turn more effortlessly since the typical pressure points at the end of the effective edge do not exist. The overall result is a very catch-free and surfy board.

 

Long and High Nose

Increases flotation and makes the board slide over irregularities in the snowpack with less resistance. The very last part of the nose also has a slightly steeper angle to make touring with our splitboards easier.

Sidewalls – UHMW PE The sidewalls are made of UHMW PE, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. These are highly resistant against abrasion and almost impossible to crack (in contrast to ABS sidewalls).

 

Edges – 2.1 x 2.0 mm Rockwell Hardness 48 The edges are considerably beefier than the industry standard, to be able to withstand harder impacts without cracking or deforming. The edges are fully wrapped around the board for maximum durability.

 

Core – Poplar - Furberg uses 100% Poplar for the perfect balance between weight, strength and ability to hold flex and shape over time.

 

Base – Isoport 7500 Sintered - The base is 1.3 mm thick, which is thicker than the industry standard. This means that you can hit rocks harder without getting core shots and you can stone grind the base more times. Isosport 7500 Sintered is one of the fastest bases available on the market. The thicker base does add a few grams on the weight, but more importantly it gives the board a much longer life.

 

Topsheet - Isosport Texture Polyamide - The Isosport Polyamide topsheet is one of the most durable topsheets on the market. The texture makes the topsheet very scratch resistant and less snow sticks to it. We also make all our topsheets in light colors to further avoid snow sticking to them. Dark colored topsheets get warmed up more by the sun and therefore more snow will freeze to them. This is a simple, yet effective way to save weight without compromising on durability and performance.

 

Composite – Triaxial Fiberglass - Triaxial fiberglass is used to get a good torsional stiffness of the splitboard.

Turning Radius
In the skiing industry it is obvious that you need a longer turning radius on a freeride ski than on a slalom ski. In the snowboard industry Furberg Snowboards is the only brand that has realized this. Longer turning radius generates better stability at speed. But even more importantly it gives the splitboard a calmer and more forgiving behavior.

Transitions – Rocker and Reverse Sidecut
The transitions towards the tips are so long, smooth and gradual on our snowboards, you can’t tell where the nose and the tail starts. Since the pressure gets distributed over a larger section, the snowboard is catch-free and easy to ride. Thanks to the long transitions, the board impacts irregularities in the snow with a low angle of incidence and slides over with little resistance. This gives a less bumpy and more forgiving ride.
