Snowboards / D1 5’5 Series
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:

Let's talk technical...
Length
Meilleure portance, sans la sensation de longueur, tel est l’avantage du shape Dupraz.
This 165 rides like a 154, c’est notre engagement !
As you can see, the length in contact with the snow is identical for these 2 boards. A clear advantage for the Dupraz, which gains the load-bearing surface that is so useful in so many conditions...
Profile and camber
Grâce au fameux Aquasmooth Rocker (dont toute l’industrie du snowboard et du ski s’est inspiré) la spatule vous garanti l’absorption des irrégularités du terrain et un déjaugeage en poudreuse quasi-instantané.
Construction
Rien ne vaut un bon et solide noyau bois combiné à de la fibre de verre tri-axiale, des renforts caoutchouc au dessus des carres, qui assurent le collage entre l’acier des carres et la fibre de verre. Mais qui servent aussi d’amortisseurs. Le tout assemblé avec une semelle et des carres épaisses pour vous permettre d’entretenir votre board et ce pour longtemps !

superior
D1 5’5″ X : ce modèle intègre des fibres de carbone tressées en très haute densité, de part et d’autre du noyau. Ces fibres recouvrent toute la surface de la board.

Rien ne vous empêchera de carver comme un malade! … j’ai rarement pris un tel pied en freeride! A recommander!!! Surtout si on vient de l’alpin comme moi 🙂 (Rider specs : 180cm – 78 kg – Avancé)
Fast service and advice from Dupraz, top notch, real pros!
J’ai été bluffé par la difference entre la taille de planche et le ressenti sous les pieds (plus courte).La sensation surf est vraiment trés agréable… (Rider specs : 179cm – 70 kg – Avancé)
I found myself having a great time on crowded concrete slopes, with a feeling of security on the ice, and I quickly gained confidence in this board. I'm also surprised by the switch possibilities, it's like riding a twin tip... (Rider specs: 184cm - 73 kg - expert)
