The Flow Drifter Snowboard
Sorry, the Flow Drifter has been sold out until October 2011.
The Flow Drifter is designed to take on all aspects of snowboarding, whether it be powder, park, pipe, or rails, making it one of the most badass snowboards you can ride on the mountain. Flow’s Dual-Transitional sidecut utilizes a combination of two different sidecuts in one. Together, these sidecuts allow for rough terrain riding, high-speed forgiveness, and smooth transitions while jumping.
The 2011-2012 Flow Drifetr Snowboard features...
- ABILITY- Good intermediates to expert riders
- TERRAIN- All Mountain / Freestyle. Anything that gets in its way.
- SHAPE- The DT Sidecut utilizes a combination of two radii. First, a tight radius for quick, responsive carves is blended into a mellow radius right before the nose and tail of the board for rough terrain, high speeds and the forgiveness you need while jumping.
- CAMBER- I-ROCK reverse camber is perfect for nose presses, buttering boxes and agile maneuvering through the park.
- CONSTRUCTION- The new Whiskey Rocks tech increases agility while adding pop and grip. Four Basalt plates beneath the heel and toe areas directs the rider's energy to the board's key control surfaces and doubles the breaking strength to increase edge hold in all conditions with a Cadillac feel. The Whiskey Shooter uses 4 precured carbon plates with a unique shape that tapers into the tips in a reverse "V" for the most pop without chatter while freeing up the nose and tail for any transition, rough terrain, and heavy pressing.
- CORE- Flow's lightest and most responsive core gives you the highest strength-to-weight wood construction known. Focused response where you need it, and more low-to-mid-density woods in specificlocations throughout the board increase strength while decreasing weight, and make your ride all that much easier.
The 0/+30/-30/90 fiberglass & carbon orientation increases pop with the majority of fibers running tip-to-tail giving you stability and torsional freedom between the feet while distributing binding pressure over a larger area from the 30 degree axis fibers for a more natural flexing ride that can't be reached with Triax.
- ROCKER- I-ROCK reverse camber is perfect for nose presses, buttering boxes and agile maneuvering through the park.
- BASE- Speed, wax absorption and durability are the main ingredients of the Sintered 4000. This is done through focusing on quality over speed-robbing additives. For an even faster base, the Graphite Sintered 4000 only has speed on its mind.
- ABOUT SIZING... Many shops will say your board should be between your nose and chin. If they say that, run out of there. Flow has a sizing chart on the back of each board. They recommend a certain weight range for each length. So who are you going to believe? Some sales person or the manufacture? When between sizes, the rule to follow is the more aggressive you are, the longer you go.
153 cm- 105 - 150 lbs.
156 cm- 125 - 165 lbs.
159 cm- 135 - 185 lbs.
162 cm- 135 - 195+ lbs
Our comments- If you like to attack the whole mountain, you're the first one to the bottom and not afraid to try anything, get this board. The Flow Drifter rips!.
