Tech Specs
The Distortion is built on SIMS MOD 2 Core, a poplar and Paulownia wood core with two tip-to-tail bamboo stringers running under the inserts. Two carbon stringers, our Double I-Carbon Wide layup, run parallel outside the bamboo stringers. We cap the Distortion with our Tri-Tex fiberglass laminate, our most advanced 3D matrix. Together these elements produce loads of pop and smooth rebound out of turns for all-conditions ripping.
SIMS Flexible Thin Tip tech reduces material for less swing weight on aerial rotations. We finish the Distortion with a Premium Racing base.

CAMBER PROFILE
Transform Camber
Transform Camber combines the best of both flat and traditional contours, offering the secure edge hold of conventional camber and the loose flexibility of flat camber for a lively, intuitive ride that feels free yet controlled.
WOOD CORE
MOD 2
This Core combines poplar wood and Paulownia wood native to North America. Paulownia wood is the second lightest, strongest and supple of the woods commonly used in Snowboarding.
BASE
Premium Racing
This base utilizes a high-density, high-speed base material chosen for its molecular weight, which delivers unrivaled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability.
TIP TECHNOLOGY
Flexible Thin Tip
In addition to lightening the tip by thinning the tip, in addition to good buoyancy and handling with powder, it has the effect of reducing the swing weight with the spin system during tricks.
FIBERGLASS LAMINATE
Tri-Tex
This is our most advanced matrix; a 3-way lay up that combines Light fiberglass at 0º, 45º, and 90º degrees, ensuring unquestionable pop, rebound, flex, and torsion in our highest performance boards.
CARBON LAY-UP
Double I - Carbon
Two tip-to-tail carbon stringers through the center of the core increase torsional rigidity for increased response and control.
