Snowboards / D1 Series 5'5
The 5’5 is our quiver killing daily driver. This is the board you grab everyday, and it doesn’t matter if it’s pristine morning corduroy, sidehits with friends, intimidating icy steeps or bottomless pow, you’ll have the best board imaginable for the day. It defines the notion of versatility, delivering great performance in all snow conditions.
We call this our shortboard as it's snappy, fast & rides much shorter than its length would imply. You’ll have the maneuverability of a 156 yet enjoy both the carving stability and float in powder of a much longer board.
Compared to the rest of the line, the 5’5 hits the sweet spot combining the freestyle fun vibes of the 5’2 and the big line stability of the 6’+. If that wasn’t enough, for further customization, we have three different flexes available. Choose one according to your weight and riding style: the regular 5’5 for a more freestyle flex, the 5’5 + for a stiffer all mountain ride, and the ++ for our stiffest flex, that will please former hardbooters and snowboard x racers. Choose a tab below to read more about each flex:
The 5’5 has a medium flex through the nose and waist for increased torsional flex (and for enjoying a few sneaky butters when no one is looking). Don’t worry though, the 5’5 keeps the firm tail of the 5’5+ to power out of carves and stomp those cliff drops. It’s the best of both worlds.

Dupraz D1 5'5
Let's talk technique...
Length
Better lift, without the sensation of length, this is the advantage of the Dupraz shape.
This 165 rides like a 156that's our commitment !
As you can see the length in contact with the snow is identical for these 2 boards. Clear advantage for the Dupraz, which gains in bearing surface, so useful in many conditions...
Profile and camber
Thanks to the famous Aquasmooth Rocker (from which the entire snowboard and ski industry was inspired), the spatula guarantees the absorption of the irregularities of the terrain and an almost instantaneous de-icing in powder snow.
Construction
Nothing beats a good and solid wood core combined with tri-axial fibreglass, rubber reinforcements above the edges, which ensure the glueing between the steel of the edges and the fibreglass. But they also serve as shock absorbers. The whole thing is assembled with a sole and thick edges to allow you to maintain your board for a long time!
