Amplid UNW8 - 2011

/images/brands/amplid/logo/amplid_logo.gif

The Amplid UNW8 has a spec as long as ‘War and Peace’: A mathematically correct CAD modelled sidecut, a HEXO2 wood core with honeycomb inserts at the tip and tail, a Nano sintered 7.2k Lightspeed base and HEX MAT prepreg glass epoxy composite laminates with Carbon V-shaped reinforcement for uber pop and instant reponse. All that spec and zero gimmicks. The UNW8 is a serious snowboard for those at the top of their game, beginners and wannabes need not apply.

Manufacturer's Description:

The culmination of 20 years of RnD experience. The futuristic UNW8 is a superlight directional, all-mountain machine.

The new 2010-11 UNW8 is HEXO2-version of our renowned Paradigma, it was conceived for maximum response, even on slick-ass hardpack. Extra torsional stability, for both ollie-pop and precision landings. Incredible edge control, and the ability to exit super-fast out of turns, make this board every expert’s dream.
