Designed with snow and surf lover Christy Prior, the new Ika provides the perfect float and agility for riders looking for a stable and fast ride through deep, low angle pow runs. The tapered swallowtail fish shape offers quick edge-to-edge precision on and off the marked trails and can generate mind-blowing speed and float on the deepest of days. For adventure-seeking riders looking for something new to ride!
"This surf-inspired shape was born from the desire to continue exploring the simplistic joy of turning and carving on a snowboard. Like New Zealand‘s native Māori language, the name Ika is derived from, which embodies the values, beliefs, and connection to the natural and spiritual realms; the Ika encourages a deeper connection to your on-hill experience with the hopes to inspire you to draw out your turns and connect with your own rhythm, feeling and flowing your way down the mountain.“ – CHRISTY PRIOR
FEATURES:
CAM-OUT CAMBER
Cam-Out Camber is basically a Trüe Camber with early and smooth transitions into tip and tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that turns on the spot and is forgiving, even after that 713.5 degree landing!
TAPERED SWALLOWTAIL
The full width nose and narrower tail of our Tapered Swallowtail shapes make the board float evenly through the fluffiest of pow and cut through the occasional crust, while the deeply cut swallowtail reduces the rearward board surface even more for improved control and reduced rear leg burn.
POWERCORE II
The Powercore II is a tip-to-tail poplar wood core with additional beech wood stringers for unrivalled strength, smooth response, and insane pop.
REFLEX CORE PROFILE
A thinner core between your feet on the Reflex Core Profile improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.

Rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.
