If you were going to task anyone to build an all terrain snowboard you couldn’t really get anyone better than Regis Rolland’s Apo. Bearing that in mind helps you to understand why the Line is such a storming board and why if you’re looking for a freeride focussed board at a great price this should be at the top of your list. With a fully directional shape and flex mated to a combination of camber between the feet and rocker in the tip and tail, this is a snowboard that will conquer even the gnarliest of terrain with ease.

The new MTD has undergone a complete transformation which has bought this all terrain freestyle classic bang up to date. Its twin shape with directional flex features Apo’s new Dual Rocker profile. This blends a rocker from the centre of the board with cambered sections under each foot to create a looser feeling ride that delivers great response and stunning on edge performance, perfect for intermediate to expert riders who want the rock solid response of an aggressive all mountain board with the reassuring performance of a park slayer.
At long last our very own Tyler Chorlton gets his own board and boy what a banger it is. Aimed at riders who are looking for a high performance snowboard that will destroy absolutely every single bit of terrain that the mountain can throw at it, it really is a true powerhouse of a board. Based around a responsive twin tip shape with directional flex the TC features the new W Rocker Camber profile to deliver a truly versatile and responsive ride. If you want a board to take from the biggest park lines through to blasting super fast groomers then Tyler’s board really should be at the of your list.
