Rome Design - 2010
Super light, high spec worldwide annihilation! For snowboarders that don’t like to mess around looking at anything but the highest spec rides on the market. The Design’s Airpop core, Carbon Biaxial laminates and Dual Inline Power Amp mapping mean it’s livelier than a bag of stem cells. For advanced all-mountain freestylers who need an explosively powerful and responsive snowboard.
Manufacturer's Description:
In the ‘60s, counter-culturists like the Merry Pranksters experimented with all kinds of mind-altering substances in an effort to attain a state of enlightenment. Roughly 40 years on, the SDS, having spent many years experimenting with various insanely light materials like pure carbon laminates and strategically placed bamboo, has arrived at an enlightenment enabler of its own—the high-tech Design. This time instead of popping a pill that could leave you drooling in a cup for the rest of your life, you strap into the world’s lightest board and pull into a tube on the Design.

This board is absolute crap in powder as the tip is too low. Feels like I have a 100 pound weight on my front foot when I am in deep snow. I have ridden for 20+ years and this is the only board I have ever ridden that sucks this bad in powder. Great on hardpack or cut up powder.
