CHANGING OF THE GUARD
The Rival, designed by Juliette Pelchat, is a high-performance board for women who charge. With its versatile MidBite profile, it offers stability and responsiveness. The artwork, created by Crystal Legoffe, draws inspiration from tattoo culture and 90s grunge fashion, giving it a cool and playful vibe. Juliette and the designer aimed to create a design that embodies the spirit of the cool older sister. Get inspired and unleash your radness with the Rival!
OUTLINE
MIDBITE
MidBite blends the response of a narrow waist width with the stability of wider nose and tail.
The MidBite steps the outline of the board inward 1.5mm just inside the insert pack. This step remains (rather than bumping back out like the Basic) down about 1/3 the length of the sidecut until just inside the next insert pack. This single long disruption of the sidecut between the bindings cheats the waist width narrower, providing quicker edge-to- edge response. Meanwhile, from your binding out to the end of the sidecut we maintain a board width that is a stable platform for popping, spinning, and landing.

SINTERED TRUE
Just like it says. Pellets or course powder is pressed until it forms a solid. There are several suppliers for our entire industry and they each have different codes for them, depending on the color and transparency. These codes can make it seem like you’re getting many different kinds and grades of sintered but they’re all pretty much the same as far as you and I will ever tell. True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions.
