Rome Snowboard Design Syndicate

CONTROL CORE MATRICES

Flex With Pop—something that we design into our boards in a wide variety of ways. Our core design has always been one of the ways that we optimize smooth, feel-good flex with a high energy-return pop that is distinctive to a Rome board. Through the design process, we also control for lightness and 100-day durability.
