Like taking to the autobahn in a specced out Benz, the UNW8 is all about dispensing with the concept of speed limits entirely. Top-shelf construction techniques, powerful flex and aggressive geometries enable ballistic assaults across the full spectrum of mountain terrain, and once you’ve gone all in, Antiphase 3.0 ensures turns flow smoother than a Bond one-liner.
Like a shot of endorphin condensed into a beautifully-crafted snowboard, this board is geared towards popping higher, carving deeper, straightlining longer and unweighting faster. Crank everything up to 11 with confidence on the UNW8.

Full Pop Camber, designed for maximum edge hold and explosive pop. Full Camber is best suited to high-end shreds where performance is paramount. It’s hard work to ride well, but being slingshot out of carves and launched high above the coping is all the reward you’ll ever need.
