Darrell Mathes’ pro model the “Display” is for the rider who feels just as at home on a backcountry mission as they do at a street spot. The Display’s “Frame Camber” profile features flat camber underfoot which offers a skate inspired feel while the gradual rise toward the tips allows the board to float in powder with ease. Carbon Stringers and Aramid Strips provide strength and stability while the stiffer core offers a responsive feel without sacrificing the comfortability and playfulness you need for hot laps through the park.
NOTE FROM THE ARTIST: I wanted to create a graphic that felt visually graphic, brought together the digital and physical world, and played with the idea of “Public Display.” Each number and silhouette on the base of the board is tied to a color wheel that lives within the Public Art Domain (art that is free to use and view publicly). Each color wheel can be viewed online by typing out the URL on the front of the board that corresponds with the number. The final number is a little Easter egg for anyone taking the time to type out the URLs. - Will Tuddenham
Biax Glass
All PUBLIC Snowboards are made using Biax fiberglass. Biax fiberglass creates a consistent and smooth flexing snowboard tip to tail while allowing the board to stay nimble and predictable.
Urethane Sidewalls
Urethane sidewalls are used in all PUBLIC boards for their superior dampening properties compared to the industry standard ABS and P-tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are more durable against impact on rocks or rails to prevent your board from delaminating when you get caught slippin’ in the park or backcountry.
Sintered Base
Rather than melting polyethylene pellets together (extrusion), sintered bases are manufactured by crushing the pellets together under high pressure. This makes a sintered base more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion-resistant. In other words it makes the board faster and more durable!
Carbon Stringers
A 20mm wide carbon fiber stringer running tip to tail to increase overall pop and response without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot. Carbon stringer is the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.
Aramid Stringers
Aramid stringers are strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased durability, dampening and a dose of added pop! Aramid fibers are used to make bulletproof vests so you know every board made with Aramid stringers will be more durable and hold its pop longer, season after season.
Poplar Light Core
A premium version of our tried and true Poplar core. We’ve strategically placed super lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core to reduce weight but maintain a snappy feel. Strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks at the binding line and increase insert retention.
