It all started with one simple goal- to design and build a better snowboard. No rules. No limitations. The focus was not about lifestyles, cultures or snazzy graphics. Our aim was entirely technical.
After four years of research and development, we finally achieved what we set out to do. Through innovation and experimentation, we came up with a board that will:
Fit better.
Feel lighter.
Go faster.
Cruise smoother.
Turn quicker.
Edge harder.
Carve sharper.
Jump higher.
Land softer.
It does all that without chatter, and without heel or toe drag. Our design makes the riding so easy, most experienced riders will actually have to relax their riding style to get greater performance out of the board. For people who have never snowboarded, our design makes it easier to learn and master.
Finally, it is easy to store (you can hook it on a bike rack) and you can hold it with one hand. Did we mention it is lockable too?
Our design is such a radical departure from the conventional snowboard design, we decided that we can no longer call it just a snowboard. So we named it "The Whip."
The Whip F-117 is our first and the only model available for the 08-09 season. Due to the brand new design and the relatively complex construction of The Whip, production will be very limited. Only a few hundred boards will be produced this season. Each board is carefully hand crafted and will have an individual serial number. We are currently accepting pre orders. Shipping will start in January 2009.
