Impact Plates™

Thinly milled Titanal aluminum plates integrated under the bindings deliver a 2.5-times increase in strength against compression damage. A Rome-exclusive technology.

PowerAmp Technology

In our Airpop core matrices, we map bamboo laminates into targeted regions of the core to increase power and amplitude. In some mapping patterns, we control for ollie height and increased pop off the lip of a jump. In others, we control for added torsional kick for freeriding.

• Centerline Twin Mapping: added ollie and nollie pop, without unwanted torsional stiffness
• Torque Mapping: pre-curved bamboo loads up with energy for our highest level torsional power
• Dual Inline Mapping: placement of inline bamboo near both rails adds a touch of torsional pop while seriously upping longitudinal amplitude
• Centerline Tail Mapping: power in the tail for slashing cornices and clearing ropes more easily, without unwanted torsional stiffness

AC Technology

We mill thin air channels into specific regions of our high-end cores to keep them light under foot.

Targeted Density Control

Targeted Density Control is our design approach where we located woods with specific densities for specific benefits on the hill.

• LDC: Light boards are better. Low Density Control is used to strategically implement low density woods for even more weight reduction in 2009.
• HDC: In High Density Control, we place wood species that increase stiffness along the edges for higher edge grip, and in the insert region to increase strength.

Airpop Core Matrix

The core that powers our high-end boards. Defined by all four of our premier core technologies: PowerAmp Technology, increased LDC technology, AC Technology and Impact Plates™. Creating boards that are lighter, poppier, smoother and stronger. Featuring four different mapping patterns of PowerAmp Technology.

Superpop Core Matrix

Lightness, with a ton of snappy flex. The use of LDC technology (more in 2009) keeps this core light, while the Impact Plates™ increase strength for the abuse of riding everyday.

Pop.2 Core Matrix

Premium wood integrated with HDC technology along the rails creates a feel that is smooth-flexing, poppy, and super solid on edge.

Pop Core Matrix

Lightweight, responsive wood gives the boards in the meat of our collection a dynamic feel. Lighter than the TTT Core Matrix.

TTT Core Matrix

Wood flexes better. Running it tip-to-tail ensures that every board out of the Design House has a lively feel.
