Niche Knew Snowboard - 2012

The jib-specific Niche Knew Snowboard is a lethal tool for assaulting rails—both in the park and in the urban landscape—but it is made with environmentally practices and materials that go easy on the environment around us. Using flat camber, the Knew feels skateboard-like and broken-in right out of the package, but also features the pop you need for clearing gaps.

  • Flat camber profile provides the balance between rocker and camber with a ride that's reliable at speed and locks into rails and pops off jumps effortlessly
  • Hemp Hop stringers replace non-sustainable carbon for improved ollie power
  • Basalt-magma replaces traditional fiberglass for a eco-friendly laminate that requires less fiber overall, absorbs impact better while presenting a playful elasticity, and is typically 15-20% higher in tensile strength
  • Snappy Sap bio resin provides an exceeds standard adhesion properties of normal resins, works as a dampening agent against fatigue-causing chatter, and is highly elastic to not prohibit the natural flex of the core
  • Sustainably harvested full-length wood core provides an even, mid-stiff flex from nose to tail
  • Recycled ABS sidewalls provide bomber protection to the core and edges without demanding raw material for production
  • Extruded base made from recycled materials and modified with beeswax

Bottom Line: Destroy the park, not the planet.

Eco Friendly Park Annihilation

By:
December 5, 2012

For all around jib destruction and buttery fun, The Knew is the way to go. Hands down one of the best flat camber boards around. It's dampness and stability at any speed is what really makes this board stand out among the rest.
the best thing about this board? Instead of using fiberglass, this board uses Basalt in its construction. Not only is it lighter and stronger, but basalt repels water instead of absorbing it. What does this mean for you? Boards Delaminating are a thing of the past, kid!

add that to the feeling of knowing you have one of the most eco-friendly snowboards in the market under your feet equal up to some good times on the mountain.

buy this board. You won't regret it.
