Product Description
Twenty-five seasons in and the Black Snowboard of Death keeps earning its name. A finely balanced directional shape pairs a Thermopolymer Hover Core with new Fairmat Carbon Amplifiers for a high-powered build that carves hardpack with authority and charges into variable snow with confidence. The Alpine V1 camber profile delivers explosive pop, stability underfoot, and float at the nose. Built for the advanced rider who demands versatility without compromise.
Product Details
| Rocker Type | Alpine V1 Directional with Flat Kick Tech: mid-body camber runs longer through the tail for pop and stability on hardpack, flat tail section, and reverse cambered nose for increased float and landing power. The Flat Kick Technology tightens the tip profile radius for forgiving reverse camber transitions and better planing on top of powder. |
| Shape | Directional with 0.8" setback; available in standard and Wide versions |
| Sidecut | New Age Progressive with Death Grip: progressive sidecut incorporating a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection, creating a contact point that applies pressure and retains control throughout the turn |
| Core | Thermopolymer Hover Core: ultra-lightweight select grain wood core strips (Paulownia, Poplar) enhanced with bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels. Extremely light and strong with excellent dampening properties |
| Additives | 4 x 20 mm Fairmat Carbon Amplifiers (NEW for 26/27): advanced carbon amplifier material for lightweight, high-performance construction |
| Laminates | HolySheet Tri/Tri Fiberglass: triaxial fiberglass on both top and bottom of core for maximum strength, durability, and performance · Magic Bean Resin: 60% bio-content plant-based resin with renewable agricultural raw material, low process temperature, poppy and extremely durable |
| Base | HyperDrive ADV XT: custom formulated proprietary sintered base with exceptional anti-friction properties from high molecular mass and specialized processing aids; increased thickness (ADV XT) for enhanced durability |
| Base Tech | Moonshot Omni-Tune: factory-applied race-base stone grind structure that wicks water from the base at a 45-degree angle |

The Black Snowboard Of Death 2027 FAQ
What skill level is this board really for?
The Black Snowboard Of Death is built for advanced all-mountain riders. The directional shape with a mid-body camber and flat tail gives you plenty of pop and stability on hardpack, but the reverse-cambered nose floats in powder. This setup rewards technical riding, so you need to know how to work the board across variable terrain and conditions, not just point it downhill.
How does the shape help me ride different terrain?
It's directional with a 0.8-inch setback, meaning the nose is ahead of your feet. That extra float in powder keeps you planted on the back foot without spinning out, while the mid-body camber under your feet locks the edge on hard snow and keeps the board responsive when you're making quick turns. The flat tail is short and stiff, which trades float for control at speed.
What's inside that makes it so strong and light?
The core mixes lightweight Paulownia and Poplar wood with four carbon strips running tip-to-tail for stiffness without dead weight. The whole thing is wrapped in fiberglass on top and bottom for durability, using a plant-based resin that cures at lower temperatures. The result: a board that's responsive and lively but won't fatigue your legs on a long day.
Will this board do everything I throw at it?
It excels on groomers and all-mountain riding with solid powder performance. It's not a freestyle park board, nor is it optimized for pure jibbing, so if you're building tricks and butters, look elsewhere. But for freeride, variable snow, and pushing speed across mixed terrain, this is where The Black Snowboard Of Death shines.
How do I know which size to pick?
Use your weight as the primary guide: the 156 fits 130-190 lbs, the 159 fits 140-200 lbs, and the 162 fits 150-210 lbs. Wide options (157W, 161W, 165W, 169W) add about 0.8 inches to the waist if you have bigger feet. The stance is the same across all sizes (22 or 23 inches), so pick the length that matches your weight range and boot size.
