Carbon Strips add pop and longevity to the board maintaining its pop and stiffness longer
while keeping the center of the board softer.

Aramid Stringers

Aramid stringers are strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased
durability, dampening and a dose of added pop! Aramid fibers are used to make bulletproof
vests so you know every board made with Aramid stringers will be more durable and hold its
pop longer, season after season.

Sintered Base

Rather than melting polyethylene pellets together (extrusion), sintered bases are
manufactured by crushing the pellets together under high pressure. This makes a sintered
base more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion-resistant. In other words
it makes the board faster and more durable!

Carbon Stringer

A 20mm wide carbon fiber stringer running tip to tail to increase overall pop and response
without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot.
Carbon stringer is the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.

Urethane Sidewalls

Urethane sidewalls are used in all Public boards for their superior dampening properties
compared to the industry standard ABS and P-tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are more
durable against impact on rocks or rails to prevent your board from delaminating when you
get caught slippin’ in the park or backcountry.

Biax Glass

All PUBLIC Snowboards are made using Biax fiberglass. Biax fiberglass creates a consistent
and smooth flexing snowboard tip to tail while allowing the board to stay nimble and
predictable.

Core types:

Poplar Core – Our Poplar Core is made of 100% FCS certified poplar wood. Popular
is the most common type of wood used in snowboard cores for its unbeatable strength to
weight ratio and is why we make the majority of our boards with this core.

Poplar Light Core – Poplar Light is a premium version of our tried and true Poplar
core and uses 100% FCS certified wood. We’ve strategically placed super lightweight
paulownia wood throughout the core to reduce weight but maintain a snappy feel. Strips
of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks at the binding line
and increase insert retention. The Poplar Light Core is only used on our highest-end boards.
