PRODUCT DETAILS
When we introduced the PASSPORT - the feedback from our Team riders, Retail partners, and the conversations we’ve had in the liftlines (Whattup Alpental and Brighton Locals?!) - we knew we had a winner. The waist width, sidecut, camber profile, and taper were spot on - but some riders we spoke to were looking for something a bit more robust for higher speeds and steeper terrain, and we said…”let’s make some prototypes.” We did, they were okay, so we made some more, and some more, and they f#cking ruled. The result of proto round #3… the COMMONWEALTH - using the same shape and geometry that has made the Passport successful, with a more “beefed up” feature set for riders looking for something a bit more demanding. Our A1 Core gets wrapped in a heavier weight tri-axial fiberglass, which is then layered in our patented Spectral Braid™️ - a piece of technology that we developed that allows you to fine tune the tip-to-tail flex of the snowboard independently from the torsional flex - it rules, we promise. We topped it all off with a wax infused sintered 4001 base to make sure you’re not getting stuck in the flats. We believe that everyone should be able to experience the mountains - so the Commonwealth was designed and tested for all-genders. Starting at a 146 and sizing all of the way up to 166W-, this snowboard’s construction, waist width, and flex profile is scaled to meet the needs of the riders for each respective size.
- Wax Infused Sintered 4001 Base: Built using the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 holds wax longer than other Sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer.
- A1 Core: Lightweight, snappy, and durable, our A1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber - Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia. Aspen-dominant to highlight the snap and response of this wood, weve combined it with Bamboo at 30 underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. Weve also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail help to reduce swingweight.
- Snophobic Topsheet: Helps eliminate snow build up while touring up and riding down.
- Triax Glass: A fiberglass weave intersecting at three angles provides extra torsional stiffness and overall strength.

PROFILE:
Camber
Camber- Best for carving and maintaining control and stability at speed on groomed runs or hard-pack with a lively responsive feel.
Rocker- Designed for quick turn initiation with a loose, surfy feel ideal for freestyle riding and fresh powder runs.
Flat- Versatile for various riding styles with balanced maneuverability and stability.
Hybrid- Is a combination of bends in the profile of a snowboard that change the riding characteristics for different terrains and conditions.
FLEX:
7 Flex
Soft Flex- 1-3 Flex. Forgiving and easier to apply pressure to while riding.
Medium Flex- 4-6 Flex. Versatile and responsive in varying conditions and terrain.
Stiff Flex- 7+ Flex. Less forgiving allowing for pressure to transfer edge to edge for a quick responsive board at high speeds.
RIDER LEVEL:
Intermediate-Advanced
Beginner- From a first-time rider to learning the foundations of carving and stopping.
Intermediate- A rider that has mastered the basics wants to explore riding different terrain or increasing speed.
Advanced/Expert- An experienced rider that can ride difficult terrain in any conditions.

BASE TECH
- Extruded Base - Found on most beginner and freestyle snowboards. Durable and made to be easier to repair and maintain.
- Sintered Base - Absorbs and holds wax better for more custom tuning resulting in faster performance but does require more frequent wax application.

MOUNTING
SHAPE
- Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail to ride the board in either direction and balanced freestyle riding.
- Directional Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail with the binding inserts set back for more surface area in the nose and versatility when riding in different snow conditions and terrain.
- Directional - The nose is typically longer and/or wider than the tail for float in powder and downhill riding.
