Amplid UNW8 - 2013

A true flagship all-mountain snowboard, the UNW8 is stiff, responsive, lively, stable, powerful and expensive. Inexperienced riders should run a mile, but physically strong and experienced snowboarders with a hankering for railing carves on hardpack and weightless airs out of the pipe, might just have found their dream ride.

Manufacturer's Description:

We turn less into better

Vaporweight just got ligther: The UNW8 is the ultimate high tech weapon for clinically destroying all terrain. Lighter and livelier than you can imagine, it is the zenith of 20 years of board design and materials development.
We squeezed Amplid’s flagship weight saving, high performance materials and technologies into the Paradigma’s proven directional shape. The Paradigma just got vicious! Carve trenches into slick-ass hardpack, fire out of turns like someone packed C4 under your bindings and hang weightlessly 10ft out of a superpipe. The vaporweight UNW8 is defining new levels of response, edge hold and pop, without compromise.The world’s lightest white-knuckle ride.
