Signal Hammer Series - 2010

Summary:

Matt Hammer’s been a busy boy. He’s created two boards to fill his and your board bag; a 151 with the 3 stage park rocker for park and street jibs and a 155 with Signal’s Wavelength rocker/camber profile, an all-mountain core profile and a directional shape with carbon fibre reinforcement for hitting big park and backcountry booters.  Good news which ever Hammer you choose.

Manufacturer's Description:

“I’m really excited about these three new snowboards. Each board is a brand new shape for me as well as Signal. The 151 is available in two forms of construction: One in a three stage rocker for the ultimate jibbing around the park, and the other in a traditional camber for high-speed, quick reactions, and with pop and stiffness to launch off the biggest park jumps. The 155 is available with Signal’s newest technology, the Wavelength. This board has camber in the center out to your feet with rocker from the bindings out to the tip and tail. It allows you the stability of a stiffer board as well as the float and fun of the Park Rocker. I’m really excited to be able to ride a board that’s small and has the same width of my park board, but that can float in the deepest of snowy fields. On snowy days I need a board that can ride deep snow, but still react quickly on hardpack. My 155 Wavelength is perfect for that!

This is the first year that I have had a tip to tail graphic and it is by far my most favorite to date. Every piece of the graphic is part of a story that begins on the tail and leads up to the nose.  For the final touch, I’ve squared off the tip and tail that adds a whole new dimension to my pro series.”

All Hammer Pro Models— both 151s and a 155— are built with the same ingredients. They all have Crown sintered base material, full length poplar cores, PBT top material and Biaxial glass on both the top and bottom of the core. Additionally, the 155 has carbon torsion bars. Though all of the boards are built with the same ingredients, they have different flexes because of the of the tailored core profiles that are unique to each board.
