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
