DC Womens Ply

Stockist: Snow + Rock
The DC Women's Ply is a new creation that has been built for DC progressive team riders. This easy to ride and extremely confidence-inspiring freestyle board features ‘Lock & Load’ construction, a new approach to regular camber, which draws on the pop of camber and adds in flat sections outside of the feet that load up the tail for mega ollie-pop.

Ride OMG

Ride OMG
Price: £370
Stockist:Snow + Rock
The Ride OMG is an advanced yet forgiving all-mountain freestyle twin board that will push your riding and help you progress. Using Ride’s latest Hybrid Twin Profile, which combines Micro Camber under the feet with a slight lift of the contact points, the OMG is stable when carving fast and on landings with a playful, more forgiving and easier to press feel.

Burton Dejavu Flying V Snowboard

Burton Dejavu Flying V Snowboard
Price: £335
Stockist: Snow + Rock
The Burton Déjà Vu Flying V all-mountain board packs in some of Burton’s best features, making it an absolute steal for riders looking for a lot of board for their money. It features Flying V tech that blends the best of both camber and rocker to give the board spring and suspension in turns, less edge-catching and easier float in powder.
