Designed for riders who want to explore carving, the Café Racer blends stability with agility. It’s approachable for those learning how to carve, yet responsive enough for seasoned riders to get aggressive on groomers. With its versatile shape, it even floats in powder when the snow gets deep. If smooth, low carves are your thing, this is the shape for you!
With its stiff, supportive tail, the Café Racer provides stability and confidence when driving through carves. The full camber design, combined with a sidecut built for turning, ensures grip from tip to tail. This board thrives on groomers, holding a clean line at speed, just like a train on tracks!
Bend: Full Camber - The Café Racer features a FULL CAMBER profile, which provides extra stability and maximum grip, as the full length of your edge lies in the snow, while still providing float and speed in soft snow due to a smooth transition into the nose area. We recommend riding this board with steeper positive binding angles and a slightly narrower stance to let the board flex more naturally under your feet.
Core: Poplar Light Wood Core - Lightweight yet durable, delivering a lively flex and steady response in all snow conditions.
Fibreglass: Biaxial Fiberglass - Creates a balanced ride with dependable edge hold and smooth torsional control.
Base: Premium Sintered Base - A proven industry standard that ensures durability, reliable speed, and long-lasting glide.
SIZING
This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorize 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.
