What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Research is everything I want in a freeride board. It´s lightweight, responsive, and handles like a dream in powder and on hardpack. The directional shape and Carbon V tech make it poppy, agile, and smooth."

The PUBLIC Research Snowboard is the ultimate tool for freeriders looking to explore every inch of the mountain. With a directional shape and 8mm taper, it effortlessly floats in powder while providing razor-sharp edge hold on hardpack. The Mountain Alert Camber profile adds control and pop, with early rise in the tip and tail for easier transitions and smoother turns. Reinforced with Carbon V stringers in the tip and tail, the board offers unmatched response and snap. The Poplar Light Core ensures a lightweight ride, and the sintered base guarantees speed. From deep snow to fast groomers, the Research is built for riders who want a versatile, powerful ride.
