Totally redesigned for 2016, the Explorer features a new progressive shape and is now available as a solid board. The Explorer's new shape is designed for both pow days or park days as the floaty, freeride nose is matched with a freestyle tail. Directional Rocker makes it easy to butter or stomp and the mellow Magne-Traction provides confident stability riding through tech terrain or unexpectedly rough snow conditions. Though the price is right, the Explorer doesn't skimp on performance features. The Sintered 7000 base is hyper fast and factory waxed with "One Ball Hay BIO wax". The mountain face on the Explorer's topsheet is the Shangri-La Wall in Nepal. Jeremy Jones rode the first descent of the Shangri- La Wall in Nepal filming for Higher in 2013. Photo by Andrew Miller.

Shape + Flex
Directional shape. Directional Rocker. A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
Flex 6/10
