Some of our models, exist in different flex stiffnesses in order to get as close as possible to custom products, perfectly fitted to your riding style, experience and built.
Our flex patterns are named as follows: STD (for standard), + is for medium stiff, ++ goes for stiff.
The stiffer the board is, the better it is for a heavy built, or someone riding with an agressive style.
At the opposite, a softer board is made for lighter riders (both men and women) or more fluid riding styles.
- All 5'2" models come with STD flex pattern.
- The 5'5" are available in 3 flex patterns (STD, +, ++)
- The 6' comes in 2 flex variations (+, ++)
- The Split models are just a bit softer than a ++ flex
- The X-Light are particular because although they remain flexiblen they have an increased and great pop with all the carbon included. However the flex stiffness is similar to a + model.
- The 6'3" is a powder weapon, made for very fast runs. It's flex pattern is pretty stiff. But as the board is super long, it remains flexible! We consoder its flex stiffness somewhere between + and ++.

Comparing with other shapes
Our shape concept is based on a rather short edge length, combined to a long nose profile. It provides great accessibility and maneuverability on pists, while giving an excellent floatation in deep snow. As a matter of fact this long nose will not affect your riding on groomed at all, but it will increase you acceleration, floatation and speed as soon as the snow gets deeper. No other shape provides such a great versatility.

Our 5'2" shapes that measure 158cm are as playful as 149 cm boards with a classic shape. Yet in powder they ride way much better than all 160cm freeride decks.
Based on the same principle, the 5'5" models that are 165cm high, are as maneuverable as 156 twin decks.
The 6' (178cm) equals to 163 cm freeride decks, and our tallest 6'3" is as easy to ride as a 174cm board.
Here is a small drawing that sums up these differences.
Choose the right size
1 - Board of your size: all mountain freeride program
2 - Board shorter than you: all mountain freestyle/freeride program, more playful
3 - Board taller than you: freeride program with increased floatation in powder
Example with a rider who is 1m80:
- He rides a 6' (1m78) for a freeride program
- Will ride a 6'3" (193cm) for big powder and pure off-pist conditions
- Will ride une 5'5" (165 cm) for the most versatile use
Example with a girl who is 1m62:
- If she rides the 5'5" (1m65), taller than her, her program will be clearly freeride oriented.
- With a 5'2" (1m58) she'll still have great floatation in deep snow, but the maneuverability will
be increased.
