Stepchild Simon Chamberlain Snowboard

This twin shape rocker comes with a poppy Kicker III core flex. Simon Chamberlain's pro model is 8 years in the making and comes with the new impact absorption park formula sidewalls and a snag free base. The Armadillo plate binding reinforcement helps prevent insert blowouts. The new Simon Pro Model also comes with a whopping 28 inserts to pretty much mount any stance you like. This board will get you into some steezy Simon presses in the park and also throw a good pow roost.

The 2011-2012 Stepchild Simon Chamberlain Snowboard key features:

Rocker 6mm: Reverse Camber - This board is pressed to resemble the bottom of a rocking chair. The rocker gives the board an easy riding feel as it is "pre-flexed" going into turns. It works well for parks, jibs and powder days.

Kicker III Core - This is a poplar wood core with beech rails and beech insert strips. Tip-to-tail fully computerized milled and profiled poplar core gives a smooth and consistent flex pattern. The denser Beech wood re-enforced rails give the board stable edge control and a poppy flex. The insert strips are for compression strength where the corners of the bindings normally crush the wood core. Stepchild uses 4 strips of high-density beech to increase the strength in this critical zone.

Armadillo Plate - A diamond shaped extra layer of fiberglass is placed over the inserts to help prevent insert blowouts. The unique diamond shape strengthens the board around the inserts without interrupting the flex pattern.

Park Formula Sidewalls - These sidewalls are made of a material known as Philan which is lighter and harder than rubber but provides very similar impact absorption. It is much like the material used in a skateboard bushing. The park formula sidewall is meant to take a serious beat down.

Snag Free Base - These bases are hardened in the press by a temperature control system that cooks the base harder as it sandwiches the board. The base material comes out of the press much harder than it went in. Snag Free bases have no die cuts or joints in the base material which is usually how the board will snag.
