DESCRIPTION
AIRTIME, SOULTURNS & TRENCHES
The overhauled Transition Finder has slightly less taper than the original, and is now more than ever a true transition-magnet. It’s the ultimate melting-pot of freeride, freestyle, and carving. It complements a surf-inspired riding style and allows you to ride creatively all over the mountain. It’s a solid all-rounder and very adaptable for all types of riding, terrain, and conditions – from resort groomers and powder fields all the way to parks and pipes.
The reduced taper enhances its freestyle capabilities and makes it a pleasure to set on edge. The medium flex and an early rise in the nose make for a playful ride all-around. The longer diamond tail provides stability for stomping landings, spinning off of natural features in the backcountry, and popping off of side-hits.

CAMBER PROFILE: The Transition Finder features our FLOAT CAMBER, which curves into a rocker shape in the nose.

The camber under-foot offers extra pop for air-time and great stability for carving on-piste, while the early rise in the nose allows for an easy initiation of turns.

This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorise riders and their preferences. Our philosophy of snowboarding is to try new shapes, lengths, widths, and to keep an open mind for alternative riding experiences; however, we do have some limits to consider so that your board will work as it was designed to.
Your weight plays a major role in how the board will flex, and your shoe size will affect toe and heel drag when turning. The below size chart is for reference only, as our recommendations may vary depending on your stance and riding ability.
