INNOVATION

Crown LE

HAS IT BEEN TEN YEARS ALREADY? WE’VE BEEN LISTENING TO OUR DEALERS, INNOVATING, AND EVOLVING THE ENTIRE WAY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE’VE EARNED LOYALTY BY PROVIDING RIDERS THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO HAVE THE MOST FUN AND TROUBLE-FREE EXPERIENCE ON THE MOUNTAIN. AFTER ALL, THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.

PALMER. 03

PREPREG = DURABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND LONG LIFE. IT’S THE ONLY PERFORMANCE ENHANCING PROCESS THAT RESULTS IN A CONSISTENT RIDE FROM ONE SEASON TO THE NEXT. IT’S PART OF OUR “JUST BUILT BETTER” PHILOSOPHY AND IT’S WHAT MAKES OUR BOARDS OUTLAST THE COMPETITION. FOR THE DEALER, IT’S TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES YOU MONEY AND SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. FOR THE CONSUMER, IT’S A FLAWLESS RIDE.

THE WORLD’S FINEST CORES ARE THE HEART OF PALMER CONSTRUCTION. EVERY MODEL HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC CORE–DIFFERENT IN WOOD TYPE, SHAPE, AND COMPOSITION WITH ULTRALIGHT HONEYCOMB. WE TAKE SPECIALTY ORGANIC WOODS LIKE POPLAR, BEECH, AND OKUME LAMINATES AND MILL THEM INTO A PRECISION CORE THAT DISTRIBUTES FORCE AND FLEX EXACTLY WHERE IT SHOULD. EACH IS THEN KILN-DRIED THREE TIMES FOR PERFECT CONSISTENCY AND LOWEST WEIGHT.

THIS YEAR WE’VE GOT THE MOST PROGRESSIVE BOARD COLLECTION IN OUR HISTORY. NOW ADD PRICE-POINT CONSTRUCTIONS. “PRODIGY”, “FLASH” AND WOMEN’S “JADE” OFFER A HIGHER STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE AND FUN TO POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMERS, WHILE HOLDING TRUE TO PALMER’S BENCHMARKS IN INNOVATION.

GLOSSARY. 43

2000 ISOSPEED Screen printed bases for high speed, easy repairs, and maximum wax absorption. 4400 ISOSPEED Ultrasonically cut inlaid bases for high speed, easy repairs, and maximum wax absorption. Fast tough and fixable. 7200 HIGH SPEED BASES The inlaid 7200 graphite bases have computer-controlled stone ground finishes. CAP SIDEWALL Cap sidewall construction is the most expensive to produce but combines the advantages of both sidewall and cap construction to distribute maximum power to the edges! ID-2000 sidewalls overlap the steel edges completely and guarantee maximum durability, precise edge grip and vibration dampening. CARBON Carbon fiber strips give a board additional liveliness, more pop, strength and edge grip. CARBON POWER TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY (CPT) We place carbon fiber in special configurations to modify the boards longitudinal flex, torsional stiffness, and improve power distribution from the bindings to the edges of the board. FULL SIDEWALL Easy to fix DUAL SIDECUT Deep sidecut from the widest point in the tip and tail to inserts and a shallow sidecut between the feet. HONEYCOMB Nomex™ Honeycomb core made of impregnated aramid fiber is ten times lighter than wood and has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Because Nomex™ is not affected by moisture, corrosion does not occur like it does with cores made of aluminum or paper. Our honeycomb is filled with 99% air.

HRC-48 Steel edges for a powerful and long lasting edge grip. KLOTHOID SIDECUT Klothoid technology allows our engineers to control the centrifugal forces you experience as you go around a turn at any point. This unique multi-radii shape technology allows us to blend together as many different sidecut radii as needed to achieve the highest performance. UHMW PLASTIC LightweightTIP and TAIL protectors for high impact ding resistance and lowest swing weight. PREPREG/NCF (NON-CRIMP-FABRIC) PREPREG Prepreg adds the perfect amount of glue exactly where it is needed and not a drop more. It ensures durability, long life, and consistency in flex and ride. Where other manufacturers use wet lamination to save money, Palmer maintains its commitment to quality using high end NCF Prepreg in all boards. Prepreg allows us to deliver a finer product, helps in maintain a safer workplace for our employees and minimizes our impact on the environment. WOODCORES Vertically laminated beech/poplar or Okume woodcores for high strength, low weight, and optimal flexural properties. Tailored to each board’s exact specs. Every model has its own special woodcore – different in wood type, shape, and composition. No slop. No slack. 3D WOODCORE Three dimensional shapes milled into the board’s woodcore saves on weight puts strength where it is needed, and directs more power to the edges. POWER LINK SYSTEM (PLS) PLS increases leverage over the edges and makes you ride better– a recommended upgrade for any board. TITANIUM Titanium offers the unique racing features of high power, dynamic rebound, incredible stability, and excellent dampening.

TRI-RADIAL SIDECUT The most advanced sidecuts in the industry. Three radii are blended together for smooth turn initiation, stable ride on edge, and quick, powerful exit snap into the next turn.
