Graduate Series Camber Snowboard

Academy Snowboards 2022 Graduate Series Traditional Camber Directional Twin All Mountain Snowboard

On designing the Graduate snowboard, Chad Otterstrom said, "I designed the graduate series with the idea of building a board that will ride everything jumps, lines, pow and pipe. The camber profile with early rise nose allows you to generate speed quickly, hold an edge, and turn on a dime. It's an aggressive profile and flex, but you have complete control over this snowboard when you ride it and that's what I love about it."

Technology

• Regular Camber Profile: 0 degree progression from center, 7-8mm
• Sintered 4501 UHMW: Sintered Ultra High Molecular Weight base has excellent wax absorption, resulting in greater speeds without compromised durability, making it easy to maintain and a top choice for serious riders
• Sandwich Construction: Tip to tail wood core "sandwiched" between layers of fiberglass and base material with specially formulated ABS sidewalls; time tested performance with excellent torsional stability, edge hold and durablility
• Stainless 10mm Inserts: 10mm stainless steel inserts are super strong, light and won't rust; half spaced insert patterns allow the rider to dial in a perfect stance
• Tip to Tail Wood Core: Lightweight Canadian Aspen wood cores run from the length of the board providing maximum strength, consistent flex patterns and ensure maximum longevity
  
• Directional Twin: Identically shaped tip and tail combined with a set back stance provides for easier switch riding and maximizes maneuverability
