The Expat is about as serious as Stepchild get; serious high-end construction mixed with serious politically satirical graphics. This years Expat comes with; bamboo reinforcements in the core, quad-axial glass and Stepchild’s kicker II core. If you’re in the market for a medium/stiff directional twin board that’ll raise a few eyebrows in American resorts but give you the stability and power to outpace Air Force One then definitely check this board out.

Manufacturer's Description:

This is a high end directional twin board. It is designed as a regular camber snowboard with a poplar/beach/bamboo core. Bamboo is one of the strongest and lightest materials on the market. Besides all of the hippy shit companies are claiming about bamboo; it really does help with the strength and pop of the board. The Expat is constructed with high quality quad axial fibreglass and is designed as an all-mountain freestyle board that will hold its ground on any terrain you can throw at it. The Expat comes with 28 inserts for maximum stance options and the base has a speedy structurn finish.
