Good Boards are new to the market for this season. Based in Germany and heavily supported by German shops you’ll be hard pressed to find these limited production boards outside of Europe. The Apikal is the softest board in the Good line and is available with two different profiles, the 59 and 162 use a profile with rockered tips and camber between the feet as well as a 10mm setback stance and a standard directional shape. The 165 and 170 have traditional camber for power out of turns and edge hold with a 30mm setback stance and 10mm of taper for float in the deepest of powder.

Manufacturer's Description:

The go-to board for anybody seeking a versatile and easy to ride directional all-mountain snowboard. The Apikal leaves elegant lines and always maintains absolute control. Double Rocker used in the shorter boards raises the contact points and makes the board more playful. The longer sizes have a tapered shape perfect for freeriders and classic camber for that tensioned feel and to provide incredible edge hold and lightening quick response.
