Bases Extruded Base
Produced by fusion, it is very hard and even more damageresistant. It’s also the best choice for riders who don’t regularly hot wax their boards – the best sintered base’s gliding properties if left unwaxed are not as good as those of an unwaxed extruded base. > Riot SQD Camber / Riot SQD Rocker / Jibster SQD / Dice / Spade / Dash / Impress SQD / Flavor / Melody / Squad Jr. / Jibby / Rental Rocker
Highly Transparent, Extruded Super-Clear Base
For brilliant colors and almost total transparency! The “Super-Clear” Base is used for all silk-screened base graphics. In addition to this the base is low-maintenance and very durable. > Riot SQD Camber / Riot SQD Rocker / Jibster SQD / Spade / Dash / Dice / Jibby
Sintered PTEX 20188 Base
PTEX 20188 is a sintered, ultra-high-molecular, low-pres sure polyethylene with a unique grain structure and a high carbon percentage. Its high rate of electrical- and thermal conductivity was specially developed for racing. This base is not only extremely fast but also very robust and consequently the best choice for our top freeride boards. We’ve increased the base’s thickness by 20 % compared to other boards. All those stones hiding in the snow now have even less of a chance! > Selecta

Sintered Recycled Base
Whatever’s left over from the regular base production gets processed into pellets, which we grind and sinter. The resulting bases made of off-cuts and by-products offers the same high quality as a regular base, but gives our planet some love. > the black base is made of 100 % recycled material: Vice SQD / Cashew Split / Cashew / Soul Surfer / Yavana
A good stone finish is the best base structure for almost all snow conditions. A stone finished base perfectly absorbs wax and makes the board ride faster. The Völkl Race Lab selects the perfect stone finish for all of our boards! > Squad Prime / Squad Rocker / Selecta / Coal Race / Coal XT / Soul Surfer / Yavana
Structural Finish
In addition to the stone finish our top boards also acquire a structural finish. The structure’s special flat pound pat tern accelerates the board within the first few feet. For maximum speeds don’t forget to brush the base structure after waxing! It’s done best with continuous strokes from tip to tail, applying light, constant pressure. > Coal Race / Coal XT
Natural Wax Finish (biodegradable)
Sintered Base
This base is produced by sintering the formed pores to readily absorb wax. The sintered base is very soft, yet exceptionally damage-resistant. Regular care ensures excellent gliding properties. > Squad Prime / Squad Rocker / Vice SQD / Cashew Split / Cashew / Soul Surfer / Yavana
Fine Stone Finish
VRL is the short form for Völkl Race Laboratory. Darren Powell reached speeds of more than 202 km/h on a Völkl Renntiger snowboard a few years ago! Our renowned race laboratory knows how to create the fastest snowboards around, that’s why our VRL board bases are not ready-made. We know that a base composite made from the best ma terials is the secret behind the fastest and easiest to main tain bases. What’s in there? As mentioned above, this is our secret… We will tell you one thing: the extraordinarily abrasionresistant side strips are made of PTEX 20188. > Coal Race / Coal XT
Climbing Skins – Custom-Fit Kohla-Skins The climbing skins are made for Völkl by Kohla in Inns bruck (Tyrol/Austria) and consist of 65 % mohair and 35 % PES polyester. This combines the great gliding character istics of mohair with the durability and retention forces of PES. On the front, the skins are equipped with the Völkl Skin Pin System and on the back with a “Cobra claw”; they are custom-fit for the Cashew Split boards‘ shape. The provided skin bag is not only handy for the transportation in the backpack, but also offers a side made of soft Micro Fleece that is perfect for cleaning and drying the base before winding up the skins. > Cashew Split Kit
After positive tests in our Race Lab, all Völkl boards now get a finish with HOLMENKOL‘s “Natural Wax”. Good news for all riders who are looking for a biological wax with excellent gliding characteristics. It doesn’t include paraffin, is made of sustainable resources and biodegrad able. Those who want to take extra care of their boards with a green consciousness, can buy HOLMENKOL‘s “Natural Wax” in normal packaging sizes in the specialized trade. > All boards
Die-Cut
Our ultrasound cutting machine cuts out differently col ored pieces of the base, which are then manually put to gether like a jigsaw. A combination of multi-colored base components gives the design individuality and character. > All boards
Back-Screening and Die-Cut
The combination of Die-Cut and silk-screened bases enables us to achieve awesome graphics. By composing colorful and silk-screened bases via Die-Cut we achieve stunning 3D effects. > Squad Prime / Squad Rocker / Vice SQD / Riot SQD Camber / Riot SQD Rocker / Spade / Dash / Coal Race / Coal XT / Yavana / Squad Jr. / Jibby
