For winter 2023-24 we updated the topsheet design and made some adjustment to the nose flex adding double alu-stringers. This dramatically decreases vibrations giving the Shorty an unprecedented calm ride on hard pack.
We also shifted to PU-sidewalls for an even damper ride, and added a very much asked for wide 164, accommodating boot sizes up to size 12 US.
This is a real riders board with its bulletproof construction and timeless design.
SPECIFICATIONS
Core: Ash/poplar with aluminum and paulownia stringers in the nose
Construction: Triax glass with carbon torsion rods. PU-sidewalls.
Topsheet: Bamboo
Profile: Low Camber with Tip-Tail-Rocker. Diamond tail.
Base: Sintered 4001 Durasurf
OUTLINE
The Shorty features the Diamond Tail, a hook-free design combined with a longer nose for the powder performance of a bigger board – Volume Economy Tech. The result is a forgiving and playful design with plenty of performance when you need it.
BOTTOM SHAPE
We build our snowboards with camber and Tip-Tail-Rocker. We distinguish between standard camber and low camber: with low camber, the centre of the board is slightly elevated and the contact points are further towards the centre. The Shorty has 6 mm camber and is one of the easiest boards to manoeuvre in our range.
CORE
At Stranda Snowboards we use ash wood and a minor part poplar in our cores. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar keeps the weight down. New for 2022 is alu-stringers and light weight paulownia in the nose for a smoother ride on groomers and in varible conditions. Choosing a premium material also allowed us to reduce the use of petroleum-based composites. We use a thin layer of bamboo as the topsheet, which adds to performance.
