Split S “SS”
The “SS” comes complete with the Voile™ Splitboard Interface. 3B™ is the only factory authorized snowkite split board manufacturer. Skins, Bindings and Poles sold separately.

Features:
Deep Rocker- The board is deeply rockered from tip to tail. It allows you to get more pop, also enabling easy turns from heel to toe side. The rocker keeps the nose up, eliminating leg exhaustion.

Hip Side Cut- Hip from tip to tail! Reverse side cut and the only board on the market that has got it this hard. Our shape makes edging easier so you can stay on your line going upwind and it helps your transition from heel side to toe side. 3B’s shape improves directional tracking keeping you right on the path, wherever you want to go. This radical shape does the work for you… like nothing else available.

Target Flex- The board is designed with different flex areas to maximize pop and edging. No other snowboard has a balance of round flex and stiffness where snowkiters need it.

Radical Knife Twin Tips- The nose and tail are designed to cut, drag and build up. Typical Popsicle stick snowboards have too much shovel, which slows you down. Our shape allows you to cut through soft/hard snow conditions and keep the board floating on top of the snow. Rounded nose and tails don’t cut it.

Wide Center- The wide waist “33cm and 30.5cm” also help you to plane on top of the powder! It makes it easy regardless of how fast or slow you’re moving. It allows you to edge on your heel and toe side deeper without feeling the drag caused by your boots and bindings.

Split Boards- “Split S option, The SS” 3B Equipped with Voile™ Hardware makes for the ultimate backcountry snowkiteboard. Split down the middle for when you need to skin up to the wind line or skin out if the wind dies. Nothing comes close to 3B “SS”

3B™ Snowboards are the most advanced shapes on snow.

Tests have shown that ABoards 2009 kite+snowboard suits well not only advanced riders but also beginners and intermediates. Beginners will enjoy the board when making first steps in snowkiting or relaxingly cruising down the slopes of snowboard resorts. Rippers will find it equally great in snowboard parks without a kite or when performing freestyle tricks with a kite in the mountain wilderness.

The new board has balanced flex to ensure good pop and pleasant landings, however in central part of the board along both edges there are special stringers embedded into the core so that the board can keep the grip on the edge at higher speeds and loads while riding with kite. The board has special base cover to withstand high loads. Top sheet is from new type of glossy material to ensure excellent look and durability.

All boards have transparent technology window on top where core is visible. Core is mixed type wood and stringers. Waist parameters: 147cm (252mm), 155cm (258mm), 158cm (264mm). Stance width 52-68cm.

Highlights:

True 2 in 1 winter board
Tuned for kitesnow & snowboarding
Twintip with centered waist
100% strong wood core
All zones snow riding

The technology inside the Velocity –

• Posi + Rocker – The Velocity has a positive rocker, and this upward curve across the board helps with initiating turns at slow speeds and prevents edges from grabbing when riding flat.
• Posi + Side Cut – The positive and progressive side cut gives the Velocity its unique shape while providing plenty of contact between the edge and snow. The Posi + Side Cut allows the board to cut through and float over the snow efficiently while tracking very directly.
• True Flex – The Velocity has a constant flex pattern that extends from tip to tail allowing the deck to flex extensively, giving a natural and progressive carve to every turn. The constant flex increases the pop for improved freestyle, and acts like a shock absorber when traversing unfriendly snow conditions.
• Shovel Nose – The tips have been trimmed down in width to reduce the tendency for them to grab when on edge.  These tips slice through the snow keeping the board above the snow and tracking directly, resulting in less vibration and a smoother ride, unlike a traditional snowboard that is constantly plowing and crashing thru the snow.
• Phat Ass – The Velocity has a 30cm wide Ass preventing toe and heel drag. It is also one of the reasons the Velocity feels so good in powder, due to the increased surface area the board rises to the surface easily to float on top, even at slower speeds.
• 164 cm Length – With the thinner nose and wider body, the Velocity rides like a smaller snowboard, despite its impressive length.  At 164 cm, it offers the perfect size for eating up rough surfaces, cutting cleanly across ice, and staying on top of deep snow.
• Materials – The Velocity is a high quality snowboard built in the USA. Constructed with a sintered base and a solid wood core laminated to our specifications. Triax and Biax laminates mixed with resins designed to reduce weight while retaining maximum strength.  High-grade stainless steel inserts and carbon fiber stringers round out the Velocity adding up to one of the most well built boards on the market.

Its a 100 % carbon board so its super light. And (it has a) 13 in radius (sidecut) on the heelside and 9 in (sidcut on) the front.” Like all good kitesnowboards / snowkite-boards, this is a true twin-tip with a 50/50 foot balance. It is 158cm long and is full of skulls—pretty sinister.
