You know what they say about big feet? The answer is… ‘it sucks if massively when you’re shopping for a snowboard’. Well that used to be the case! Introducing the fatter brother of the Figment, the Artec Phenom is sufficiently wide to eliminate any toe drag, even if you have clown shoes, but still incredibly responsive thanks to the Omega sidecut.
The Phenom Combines an Ultra Wide shape with Omega Sidecut. The Result is an all terrain Freestyle board that has a super wide midsection for stability and the elimination of Toe and heel drag while still maintaining its precision edge to edge capabilities.
“I am power. Pure energy. Power is freedom and I am free. First I look at the Mountain. Then I am the mountain. The Mountain is me. Because we are of the same mind and focus we are one, bonded within the grand infinite dynamic. And because I am the Mountain I know its secrets. I have its stability and its strength. I am the Mountain’s master. But possibility is coupled with its opposing force, and so I must accept that the mountain is my master too. When it calls to me I must respond. I cannot escape the mountain’s love and I remain within the distance of its shadow fall. I come when it calls. I will always be one with the mountain, united for life. Artec is my process. Artec is power. Revolution of design.”
