A wide waist and 15mm of taper give the Rome Stale Fish Snowboard the volume it needs to stay above deep snow, but the board doesn't lose itself once the pitch firms up. A Bi-Radial sidecut runs a tight radius at the nose and a wider one through the tail, so a turn starts easy and finishes with real acceleration instead of washing out. Directional Flax Walls reinforce the nose specifically, adding the stability to hold a line at speed on terrain that would rattle a lighter build. Between the float up front and the control it keeps once the snow turns firm, this is a board built to stay composed anywhere the terrain takes it. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I came out of a deep stretch onto a firm, fast pitch expecting to feel the board go loose underneath me. It just locked into the next turn like the snow hadn't changed at all."
