HELLO | 01

ANTTI AUTTI & NICK VISCONTI SLASH & BS ALLEY-OOP HANDPLANT MATT GEORGES SAAS FEE

HELLO!

OUR JOB, OUR PASSION, ALL DAY LONG!

You know when you have a fixing for so-mething? Whether it’s a sport, a hobby or anything else…the time you spend slips away. You can kill yourself for 12 hours in a row or burn the candle at both ends and find yourself as a zombie the next day, but you will not re-gret it. Ever.

At Northwave and Drake we have the fortune that work and passion coincide. Working on our obsession for the whole day, and we get paid for it! From the researcher in the R&D laboratory deeply screening every single ma-terial, through the designer impressing all his creative spirit on the boards, bindings and bo-ots, to the new entry, eager to shine, we get up in the morning with a smile and go home happy; because snowboarding is the thing that we love. And our goal is to make this passion even more memorable. We do this, because we believe that the road to improvement never stops and we think we know which way to stri-ve. We do it for you, because we are devoted to the board and the adrenaline feelings that conveys, just like us. So that everyone can ex-ploit the maximum.

So simple? Without the best researchers in the industry, up to date on the latest discove-ries, always looking for that extra oomph that will revolutionize the preconceived concepts, perhaps even by taking cues from far in spi-rit areas, but always devoted to the highest technology, we could spend a lot of nice words. And then be teased by you, because you know better than anyone else when a product works or not. You are the real test.

So check for yourself, feel the truth of what we say. Touch our creations and graze the plea-sant sensations that only an object created by passion can give you.

BONELESS MATT GEORGES LES 2 ALPES

06 | NICK INTERVIEW

all the brandsi work with have a reckless abandon for snowboarding.

BS ALLEY-OOP HANDPLANT MATT GEORGES LES 2 ALPES

ciao nick, tell Us soMetHing aBoUt yoU, and How yoUr passion for snow-Boarding started. Growing up outside of San Francisco during the mid 90’s I was grip-ped by Northern California skate culture. my eccentric zest for action sports and life was only propelled by my parent’s passion for the mountains, specifically Lake Tahoe. Natural-ly as soon as I was exposed to snowboarding, my skate roots and outdoor active lifestyle collided and I found my true calling. I quickly adopted snowboard lifestyle and clung to the culture.

wHat was tHe tUrning point for yoUr career? Instantaneously after my first time ripping and dipping down the mountain, I was hell bent on two life dreams, a professional snowboard career and University education. The journey to capture my dreams has span-

ned the timeline of my life and I went through many stages which developed and refined me physically, mentally and spiritually.

did yoU ever regret tHis cHoice? Through snowboarding I have lived, loved and learned much about life. Life is such a bles-sing and whether snowboarding, school, or anyone’s personal pursuits it imperative to fo-ster the gift. Snowboarding has allowed me to experience Gods creation through all senses. Now fully flared for Jesus Christ and my life radically changed by him, my snowboarding has taken on new shape and form. Just as we see in unique urban settings and vastly creati-ve mountain scapes, the world is a snowboar-ding heaven with no bounds.

How do nortHwave and drake Help yoUr snowBoarding expression?

What is because of my desire to reflect cre-ation, I need boots and bindings that will support my riding style that seeks to inspire, innovate and create. The beauty of snow-boarding is that we get to create what our imagination can visualize. That’s why my boot and binding combination is crucial for my snowboard reality. Without Northwave and Drake that allows this, my snowboarding wouldn’t be possible. Through this process, my hope is to inspire action sports and youth culture. All the brands I work with have a shared reckless abandon for snowboarding and a mission to live in exhilaration. more than anything and simply put, I am thankful for the talents and work ethic that I have been blessed with, alongside the amazing people I have been afforded to work with and desire to create a modern day renaissance in snowboard culture!

FS SLASH MATT GEORGES HINTERTUX

ciao antti, tell Us soMetHing aBoUt yoU and How yoUr passion for snow-Boarding started. I’m Antti Autti from Rovaniemi, Finland and have been snowbo-arding since 1995. Growing up in the Arctic Circle, you are surrounded by nature and one of the first things I did when I started snow-boarding was riding around the trees. Local resorts did not have good jumps or pipes, so my buddies and I would go out of bounds and build our own. Every weekend however, we got the chance to go and ride at a big-ger resort that had jumps and a pipe built. It was from then on that I found my love of riding the pipe. During the week I would ride out of bounds at home and then at weekends, hit the pipe. With that combination, I found myself riding both aspects of snowboarding equally, until I started to do competitions.

How was tHe iMpact witH a coMpetiti-ve environMent? I’ve never had a problem with the pressure or a crowd, so I was basically just shredding for myself during every contest and enjoying it. I suddenly found myself winning contests such as X-Games, Toyota Big Air and World Champs…it was all time!

yoU got everytHing froM tHese con-tests. and tHen yoU decided to leave coMpetitions. wHy? After doing contests for so long I felt that I had only seen a small fraction of things snowboarding was able to offer. Trave-ling from contest to contest season after season didn’t let me evolve as a snowboarder the way I wanted. Through those rare moments riding powder outside the parks and pipes I found the love for natural terrain. I felt that I had a strong calling into the real mountains. It really felt like

I just wanted to get back to the roots and be this young kid who grew up riding in the trees!

wow! BUt yoU Had tHe faMe, prizes… wHat was tHe crUcial MoMent wHen yoU realized tHat coMpetitions li-Mited yoUr riding expression? Fate came into game in 2010; I was injured while I was preparing for the Vancouver Olympics. A two-month period off the slopes gave me time to think what I wanted from snowboar-ding. Luckily at the start of the season I had established Anttisworld.com to showcase my life as a pro rider through blog posts, photos and online videos. The channel was in place and it was the perfect timing to announce a partial retirement from the competition sce-ne and focus my talent and determination on becoming a better all round snowboarder.

BS 720° MUTE MATT GEORGES HINTERTUX

The very first thing that comes to my mind is when we entered in the RV for the first time and only saw 2 beds and 4 seats. There were 6 people in the crew, not mentionning all the boardbags etc. But then the owner looked at us and said the RV is only for 4 people… As we were not allowed to drive around like this we were very concerned about the Swiss border. They are not known for being nice and mellow, specially with snowboarders so we started driving in really Small villages at night, trying to catch a very Small border where we were sure not meet any angry customs officer. For a while we really felt like some mexicans trying to pass the American border, hidden in the back of the RV. Or maybe it’s when we drove all the way down from the mountain with smooth summer tires on a crazy icy road with 50cm of fresh snow…

did yoU know all tHe riders on tHe toUr? wHat was yoUr iMpression on tHeM? I’ve known Alvaro, « the guy in charge » for a very long time and Victor since he was a little kid, even if we never really spent too much time together in the mountains before. I just met Antti this summer in New Zealand and that was the first time I met Nick. Well I have to say it’s a solid crew! Each of them have their own perso-nality and style of riding which create a good di-versity. They are all experienced riders and work hard to get the shots! Of course being on the road for a long period in such a tiny space can be hard sometimes but there’s nothing bad I can say about them, even if I’m french, I would love to give them some sh#t but really I can’t find anything.

wHat’s yoUr favoUrite pHoto froM tHe toUr and wHy? This big powder spray from Al-varo is one of my favorites. You can see it was a big explosion cause he is breathing straight when he gets out. I like the way he is getting out of the frame, full speed, into my direction. Lots of energy, sunny day, lots of fresh snow and all that in the middle of october. Not too bad for the beginning of the winter!

Hey Matt yoU’ve Been sHooting pics for a long tiMe now! wHat Makes a good pHoto, sUBject, coMposition, ligHt? Yes indeed, I started shooting almost 10 years ago.A good photo is a personal feeling and I really believe there are no rules. Yes a good photo can be sharp, nicely framed, rightly exposed, but unfortunately it’s not always enough because a good photo can be also blurry, unsharp and over-exposed at the same time.To me, a good photo is probably something that you will remember. Every day you can see thou-sands of photos on the internet good and bad! But at the end, how many photographies do you remember? maybe 1 or 2 maximum, right? Then if you remember it, I would say that is a good pho-to! maybe not for me, maybe not for your friends. Just for you! Usually everyone will remember a photo that is original, creative, standing out from the mass and certainly that has been made with LOVE and HARD WORK! But not always... Again there are no rules.

try to descriBe yoU style of pHoto-grapHy, wHat represents yoU tHe Most? I was lucky enough to discover photo-graphy during an analog era and I learnt how to work and develop films in a darkroom etc. Not so long after, the digital era arrived to the mass and then I had to learn again another side of pho-tography with all those new digital tools. At the end, of course it’s just photography but the tran-sition was not easy for everyone and I was at the right age to absorb everything I could and was able to have one foot in each world. That being said I believe my style is a mix between the old and the new techniques, but I definitely feel like more a hand crafter than a digital master. I like to create things using chemical products and diffe-

rent papers rather than using Photoshop Tools. Regarding the style I believe it’s important to not have just one and make it evolve with years of experiences.

if yoU coUld only cHoose one caMera, wHicH woUld it Be? I would keep my first ca-mera, borrowed from my parents, a NIKON Fm2 with a 50mm 1.8 lens. Small, easy to carry, all manual and unbreakable!

tHe nortHawave/drake caMp oUt toUr MUst Have Been pretty crazy! wHat’s tHe MeMory tHat sticks oUt tHe Most? Hey roli, How are? wHat are yoU Up

tHese days? Hey! I’m very good thanks! You know school just started and is already pretty busy, but I’m in preparation for the season and I’m really looking forward to shred again!

please introdUce yoUrself. my name is Roland Hörtnagl, I’m 17 years old and I’m from Innsbruck, Austria.

wHen did yoU start snowBoarding? The first time I stood on a board was 2006 and I’m riding in park since 2008.

wHere do yoU UsUally go snowBoar-ding? It’s pretty different, in Fall I mostly spend my time in Hintertux and in Winter I prefer the Seegrube in Innsbruck, because it’s pretty close to me and has a pretty fun park. It’s also a free-ride paradise. I also like mayrhofen, due to the setup of the park is pretty sick and you can do a high amount of runs, because the lift is short and fast! And the pro kickerline is just amazing.

wHat kind of scHool are yoU going? I’m attending a school that specialized on winter sport, which is called “Schigymnasium Stams”.

In this boarding school I’m able to combine education and snowboarding very well.

How do yoU like it? are yoU tHe only snowBoarder? I really like it, because the institution is organized very well and there are a lot of opportunities to get fit for the winter. I have a coach there who’s specialized in snow-boarding, who drives with me to my contests and photo shoots. The last three years I’ve been the only freestyle snowboarder in school, but now there are 5 other Dudes. We really push ourselves in normal and snowboard training.

wHat do yoU do on yoUr free tiMe? In my free time I’m doing slacklining and sometimes I try to skate, but this doesn’t have a good end.

wHat are yoUr parents tHinking aBoUt snowBoarding? my parents like snowboar-ding, even if they don’t do it. They do what they can to support me with it and I really appreciate this!

wHat are yoUr plans for tHis winter? my plans are to improve my trick skills and to ride a lot of contests national and for sure in-

ternational, but I also want to do some filming and photo shoots.

are yoU stoked to Be on tHe dra-ke and nortHwave teaM? I’m su-per stoked to be on the team, I really like the boards, bindings and boots. Everything is really sick and comfortable to ride!

wHat are yoUr goals for tHe season? I want to learn as many new tricks as I’m able to and to have good results at the BEO’s and the O’neill evolutions. Of course I want to have fun and hope that I don’t have any injury.

wHicH terrain do yoU like to ride? I like to ride kickers and rails, but when there’s pow somewhere I would just shred pow.

woUld yoU like to tHank anyone? At first I really want to my family, because they support me financial and do everything that I’m able to live my dream of snowboarding. Se-condly I really want to thank my sponsors Dra-ke and Northwave, Billabong and Arnette that they support me on and off slope!!

A cutting-edge partnership for a super-hip snowboard kit.

strong attitude in the world of active sports is the main reason why mOmODESIGN was cho-sen as the ideal partner by Northwave, in order to develop a revolutionary project with a high level of innovation.

This exciting collaboration, which further con-firms the propensity of Northwave to establish strong and original partnerships, has allowed the development of a new concept for the snowboard world, a super-custom kit compo-sed of high-end board, boots and bindings.

Northwave Hard & Soft Goods Product mana-ger tells us: “We started this project with mO-mODESIGN with the aim of creating a chilling set for the most aggressive and demanding riders. Combining the experience of Northwave in high performance products with the made in Italy design of mOmODESIGN was a real in-sight! If you expect the top from your snow-board gear and you love a technical approach to snowboarding with an essential and eye-catching style, this stuff is for you!”

The same feeling of deep understanding emerges from the words of mOmODESIGN Head Designer: “Through this collabora-tion with Northwave we were able to pur-sue a new challenge in the field of winter sports. A compelling and complex project that involved the best resources of our de-sign center, particularly those specializing in the materials R&D and helmets design”.

Focus of the project is the three elements of the kit: boots, board and bindings. Each ele-ment has been completely restyled: Northwave and mOmODESIGN style center have studied materials, finishing and colors to give a brand new interpretation of these accessories, with a strong sense of made in Italy. The common thread is the ultra-cool mOmODESIGN style: logo in the foreground and essential contrasts to create an iconic product.

Drake board and bindings share the same mO-mODESIGN graphic motif that emphasizes the two logos, thanks to a black/white optical ef-

fect and to the classic red lines of the milanese brand that gives the whole set an aggressive racing touch. On the snowboard, the topsheet stands out with the graphic contrast between the mOmODESIGN logo and the technical lines of the original board design. In addition, the cir-cular logo directly injected into the structure of the bindings’ highback really rocks!

Northwave boot by mOmODESIGN, a reinter-pretation of the high performing Prophecy model, foregrounds an ultra-technical fa-bric made of extremely light nylon and car-bon fiber, essential to combine lightness and extreme strength. The soul of the boot is enhanced by the mOmODESIGN logo and by inserts, graphics and finishes that well in-terpret the dynamic and material stylistic fea-tures of the brand: style meets performance!

The result is the legendary snowboard kit “Northwave & Drake by mOmODESIGN”: all-round performance and biting aesthetics, to make sure you never go unnoticed!

Boots, board and bindings signed by the re-nowned Italian design studio mOmODESIGN. A kit for riders with a racing and hyper technical soul, looking for high standard products featu-ring an unmistakable design.

Thrilling news at Northwave: a cool partner-ship with mOmODESIGN to create a snowboard kit specially designed for the most advanced riders. In fact, the famous “made in Italy” de-sign studio has been chosen by Northwave as the ideal mate for a really exciting challenge: designing a snowboard line that combines the company’s technical know-how to the futuristic features that has always distinguished the mO-mODESIGN projects. A real blast!

mOmODESIGN is known for its original projects in the field of lifestyle accessories, and the use of highly innovative materials. Research, in-novation and creativity are in fact the corner-stones of the design studio philosophy, whose mission is to constantly anticipate the market trends and spread Italian design worldwide.

trick tip | 1514 | trick tip

When you try   a backside lipslide (backlip) you first need to learn how to do a frontside boardslide. Once you have the fronside bo-ardslide “on lock” you can start trying some backside 50-50. Once you have those two tricks you can mix them together and do a nice backside lipslide.

First you need to find out the right speed for the feature you choose to ride. When you approach the rail remember to be parallel to it. On the kicker make a nice ollie in order to come over the rail with your board. Once you are above the rail twist your lower body 90 degrees. After that make sure you land flat base on the rail.

Once you are on the rail you can start spotting the landing. Keep your back leg kicked out and style it as you prefer. Once you get to the end of the rail pop out of it and land on your front-side edge, stomp, and ride away. Once you got it you can try some combinations! Enjoy!

Nothwave and Drake’s “Camp Out” Tour 2012 was a Euro hallucinogen trip! The drug reference was nothing less than a metaphor to describe the excess that the team went through. We may all have a screw loose for attempting a tour like this, but our bindings were eager and we left the European Alps front more worn-out than ever!

This unique experience has bonded the new team, Antti Autti, Victor De Le Rue, Nick Vi-sconti and Alvaro Vogel tighter than Super-Glue! We travelled from the Alps from east to the west, stopping off at the best glaciers

in Europe. Hintertux offered a perfect park with super nice kickers and tons of fun jibs, Saas Fee had a perfect pipe and side hits galore whilst Les2 Alpes was just a unique experience; a private glacier session just for the team! With a perfect groomed jibpark, we couldn’t have ended the tour in a better way.

A big shout out to everyone who helped us along the way… friends with snowchains just when you need them, plugs for our bat-tery chargers, showers for our dirty bodies and warm coffee for our souls… without you all this would not have been possible.

BlUntThis particular shape improves overall control of the bo-ard by keeping the full contact length, but shrinking the actual board size. The shape comes with a straight cut on the tip and tail areas, which makes the board shorter than a regular board. This reduces weight and improves rotation. The end result is a lightweight, playful board, ideal for freestyle maneuvers but great in all other types of terrain.

Delivered from the Smiley concept, it offers a reverse free camber shape creating a constant arch from tip to tail which comes in 6mm higher when compared to a regular snowboard. Boards ride smo-other, minimizing edge catching on take offs and lan-dings, allowing great nose and tail presses and taking sensation to a whole new level. When it’s applied to a freeride oriented model like the Green Battle it gives an outstanding glide and lift in soft and deep snow.

directionalThe tip of a directional snowboard is different from its tail. The tail is usually narrower, shorter, and flatter that the tip of the board. Stance is offset toward the tail of the board. These boards are primarily meant to be ridden in one direction.

classic caMBerDeveloped for riders that want to keep that stable and secure feel when they are riding super-fast or going big. Classic Camber provides a flawless amount of pop and all the rest needs no explanation.

variocaMBer Brand new camber-line with transition into nose and tail which adapts dynamically. It gives you the right confidence in hard turns and at the same time leaves the board playful and forgiving at low speeds.Amazing all-mountain camber, it helps you in the powder by lifting the nose out of the snow and it is awesome in flat tricks because it shortens the contact points on the edge.

triple rockerTake the best from tradition and innovation. Have your cake and eat it too! Rocker between the feet to give you a loose ride and camber under the bindings to provide you with perfect control and super pop. With additional rocker outside each foot to lift the tip and tail completely off the snow. This board is forgiving in landings, awesome in jibbing and at the same time reactive and responsive.

skate caMBerSon of the Variocamber technology, but much more jib oriented. It comes with a flat area between the feet, perfect for hitting the rails and sliding the boxes, but without losing the pop because of the two cambers out-side of the inserts. It becomes flat again to be perfect for presses and leave the board forgiving.

HyBridTriax on top and biax on bottom, strategically combined to ensure freestyle versatility and carve control. Improved edge hold with extra poppy tip and tail.

BiaxGlass fibers are positioned at 90° off-axis to transmit soft torsional stiffness for an easy carving ride.

wood veneerWhy have wood just inside your stick? Our new natural topsheet adds that lively behavior you were looking for and the lightness you need. Touch it and feel the warmth that only a Skate deck could provide before.

BaMBoo topsHeetOur Eco-friendly program this year makes even more headway! The Green project for the Battle board is enhanced thanks to a new top sheet and sidewalls totally in natural bamboo. The usage of this material is not just due to an environmental awareness, but also for its natural properties. It is resistant, light, flexible, waterproof and ecological.

detUned edgesOur freestyle - jibbing boards come straight from the factory with pre-detuned edges on tip and tail. This prevents the snowboard from catching edges, and gives an extra buttery feeling while riding. If you’re going to hit boxes, rails, or walls, this is the perfect feature for you!

strUctUrnPatented stone-grind base finish that we proudly offer on most of our Drake boards. A Structurn base glides much faster and further than an ordinary, unstructured board. Like dimples on a golf ball, a Structurn base has a series of elongated grooves that break down the friction between board and snow for improved gliding results. The base is drastically different in wet or slushy conditions where Structurn has the advantage of riding further and faster than other bases. It works great in all snow conditions.

gUM wallsWe inject 1mm of shock-absorbent rubber between 2-layers of ABS plates and over the board’s sidewalls. The rubber protects and provides dampening in different riding conditions. It also absorbs vibration and enhances durability. Whether hitting rails in the park or carving in icy conditions, the Gumwall construction helps enhance your ride by providing stability and superior edge hold.

carBon rodsA single centered carbon strip positioned from tip to tail covering the entire length of the board, offering a symmetrical power transmis-sion and a powerful pop without tampering the torsional stiffness of the table. In other words; more flex, pop and reactivity to your ride.

doUBle carBon rods Double the liveliness of your stick! This is the evolution of the Carbon Rods, featuring two light carbon stripes positioned in the center of the board, but slightly separated. In this way, you get the maximum reaction level and a little more aggressive level of torsional stiffness. Take pop to next level even in flat tricks.

grapHiteSintered base with added graphite, it’s the fastest type of snowboard base: tests proved that it reduces friction and it ameliorates the smoothness over the snow by 20% over traditional sintered bases, plus adding a higher capacity to hold wax. This is because the graphite reduces the static electricity and the accumulation of dirt on the inside, owing regard to its excellent capability as an electrical conductor.

sintra 8000The finest P-Tex material grounded together with Nano carbon particles, heated, pressed, and then sliced to offer the fastest base in our collection. Nano additives hold heat, and then discharge. The process breaks the surface tension of snow and reduces friction. The result is an extraordinary running base with the highest level of wax absorption.

sintra 6000much faster than an extruded base, but with the maintenance benefits that an all-sintered could only dream on: the trade-off between the two has never been so intimate to perfection. The new Sintra 6000 base tech stands for its performance and wax retention: we push technology to the limit; don’t accept anything less for your riding.

ext 4000Highest quality P-Tex compound. This high-density base proves to be lightning fast and tough.

perforMerFeaturing top quality aspen wood that gives boards a light, flexible feel while remaining responsive and sturdy. This strong, durable core ensures immediate responsiveness in any condition.

preMiUM popCore made from the finest quality poplar wood. Its most important feature is its low density homogeneous throughout the entire board. This is created by narrow veining that gives the board a unique feel. The core transmits energy throughout tip and tail, and gives the rider a feeling of being fused to the board. Designed for all-terrain boards with freestyle aspects.

HIGHBACK DESIGNs

carBonWe decided to make the decisive breakthrough and create the most performing highback ever. We searched, and selected a highly technical carbon fiber and a special layer of Feather®, an innovative super advanced material. The combination of these two materials creates a highback providing a totally new sensation to your riding. Lighter and more flexible than a common carbon made highback, it astonishes for its resistance to impacts and compressions, has capacity to handle nearly every tension, and above all has such a feather light weight you won’t even notice it!

polycarBonate Polycarbonate is a durable and highly responsive material with high impact-resistance, thus making it ideal to absorb all your jumps, even in the hardest and most electrifying conditions. It’s distinguished by its see-through characteristics, thanks to its translucent properties.

UretHaneThe urethane wheel forever changed the history of skateboarding and helped bring the sport to the limelight. But what about the world of snowboarding?! We studied this material for a long time to provide you with our newest design, the Urethane highback! Are you looking for a flexible highback for presses, spins, and sliding? Here it is, give it a try!

infiniteFor you, here’s our brand new dual density strap that breaks the trade-off between comfort and performance! The design of the internal frame is based on the Infinity Symbol, and it guarantees powerful energy transmission. At the same time, a larger strap on the outer part smoothes the contact point, and thanks to its gel cushion in the joint zones, provides superior comfort.

gtThe new GT strap offers the right amount of comfort and lightness that you need. GT ankle strap has been developed for riders that like to push hard all day long without pressure points.

asyMMetricalThe essential translated in a strap. We minimized the construction for a greater energy transmission in the side push, providing a more enveloping position on the outside. The right features to excel in jibbing thanks to the asymmetrical design providing an incomparable freedom of movement internally, and delivers all the power externally. Leave everyone speechless in press and during your tricks.

preMiUM MfcComfort, response, and flex in a luxuriously constructed strap. New internal padding for extra flex and cohesion with the boot and binding interface. Featured on the Fifty binding, which is our best “value for the money”.

MfcAn established dual-density, comfortable, 3D shaped ankle strap that improves control in every condition.

UltratHinminimal structure to keep your boot’s toe snug in the binding while dramatically reducing weight. All convertible straps fit flat across the toes, but also have the option to be positioned to go over them.

HyperflexThis revolutionary strap ensures perfect fit over the toe of the boot. Its two flexible wings go around the toes, automatically forming a gapless bond between strap and boot, which keeps them secure in the binding. They can also be positioned in their original mode across the front of the toes.

MfcControl and comfort in a simple but effective structure.

Mg12Take the quickest, and most efficient ratchet in the market, appreciated for its ability to slide five ladder steps every crank and its ergonomic shape to fasten the ratcheting and releasing operations. Then reduce the weight by 25% using magnesium instead of aluminum and add even more precision with the new metal button release. You have yet to try the best. Mac 5Probably the quickest, most efficient aluminum ratchet in the market. It slides five ladder steps every crank and is ergonomically shaped for smooth ratcheting operation and release.

Mac 4Fast, lightweight, aluminum ratchets for advanced performance.

UltiMateThe only disc in the market that allows you to mount on 3 & 4-hole patterns, and channel boards using only 2 screws. Designed to en-hance the board’s natural feel and provide a secure mount at the same time.

classicThe original Drake disc that mounts on 4-hole and 3-hole pattern wi-thout any hassles! Don’t waste time looking for ways to rig a custom stance. The classic gives you the option to personalize your Drake binding setup with any board brand you ride.

natUral cant plUsThe Natural Cant Plus pad sets the new standard for comfort and performance. Its outside angle fulfills the gap between the external part of the foot and the binding, providing a perfect feeling of balance and comfort even with the widest stance. It features the Plaxmol Heel cushioning in PU to absorb shock and vibrations maximizing the dampening for high impact landings and making it more comfor-table; in addition, the toe ramp delivers perfect side edge control.

natUral cantCustomize your riding stance maintaining the natural riding position in order to facilitate the natural inclination of the legs! It features the Rebound heel absorber low density cushioning to increase in the heel area the absorption of the vibrations and the dampening in landings. Thanks to the new Natural Cant pad the riding flavor will smell differently.

oMnicHroM ligHtThe Omnichrom, on a diet. The same proven performance of the Drake Omnichrom base-plate and heelcup has been enhanced thanks to a lightened bridge heelcup. Assuring the same reactivity and improved flexibility, the Omni-chrom Light reduces the overall weight by sha-ving unnecessary material from the bridge and baseplate. Leave the extra weight to the others!

BioMap A collection of asymmetrical highbacks that provide maximum energy transmission from body to board while also ensuring correct stance support. That’s why our highbacks are designed with Biomechanical technology, to be anatomically compatible with every rider’s calf and keep your leg in the right position, transmitting power directly to the board without wasting any energy.

delta ligHtEngineered with the highest quality aluminum and fiber reinforced nylon. This ultra-light weight baseplate was designed to enhance response and board feel. The weight on this baseplate was dramatically reduced by remo-ving heavy plastic and replacing it with an EVA dampening pad. Delta-Lite has an all new con-tact pad placed directly on the board to better dampen and take riding to a whole new level. A versatile, all-terrain performance baseplate that’s fully customizable for superior fit.

ligHt fraMeGood news for the lightness addicted! The Light Frame family keeps the same benefits of a full frame highback without the weight! It’s a perfect mix of torsion and response: it gives you more lateral movement while allowing a progressive response in the lon-gitudinal axis, translating to a highly reacti-vity highback and giving you greater control over your board. This guarantees that it is comfortable and forgiving with no compro-mise of the support, while dramatically re-ducing the weight of the highback.

deltaThe original Drake concept at its purest. A pre-curved aluminum heel cup directly con-nected to a nylon/fiberglass baseplate, crea-ting flawless, solid assembly. Designed from the perfect blend of nylon and aluminum for responsiveness and dampening. Together they create a soft, forgiving baseplate ideal for be-ginners and freestyle enthusiasts. Fully custo-mizable, and includes a variety of heelcup and toe ramp adjustments to ensure perfect fit.

ladyfit A collection of highbacks specifically concei-ved for a woman’s biological makeup, con-structed with a shorter, rounded top for extra support and the best possible fit. Unique also in the look, because it combines an excellent flex and response with an outstanding dedi-cated design with that girlish touch you’ll be stoked!

boots TECHCLOSURE SYSTEMS

540° Heel retention systeMThe boot laces pass through pre-curved lace loops which helps the lace mi-nimize its friction. When the laces are pulled to close the boot, they are at the same time pulling the webbings where the lace loops are linked. In this way the webbings shrink around the ankle, increasing heel stability. They can do this operation in a perfect way thanks to the fact that the webbing is passing throu-gh a hole from the side of the boot directing the pressure of closure all over the ankle area. The more the lace is pulled the more power will be transferred in the ankle area, increasing the heel retention performance and foot stability.

tecHligHtFor our high-end model we have developed a new construction in order to get lightness and performance at the same time. Using a very light and resistant carbon-fiber based material and adding seamless protection parts only where needed, we have obtained a hi-tech shell that provides great response for all-mountain riding combined with a radical weight reduction!

doMain reinforceMentThe Domain Reinforcement continues evolving, reaching a new level of flex. This advanced structure has been specifically redesigned in the outsole construction to gain an even more efficient power transmission and a great support in all-mountain riding. Thanks to a reinforced TPU arch that embodies the foot from the sole up to the calf, you will have a perfect connection with the binding and board, and all the progressive support you might desire!

flex windowThe ability of creating a boot which is able to flex in a progressive way required years of studies, experience on the snow, and many labo-ratory tests. The Flex window enhances the comfort and mobility of the foot, and it perfectly represents the balance between the power of transmission and a progressive flex. The side parts of the collar area slide on the upper transferring the power in a constant way avoiding any possible overlapping between materials which could lead to a waste of energy.

tHerMo weldingWe’ve been the first in the world of snowboard boot production working on Thermowelded Piping. This technology brings Northwave distinct advantages both in terms of enabling us to integrate different materials and maintain an ‘element beating’ seamless outsole. This is particularly important in the ankle zone where there is no interruption of the upper boot technology bringing you, the rider, and progressive support from the heel to the calf. The visible asymmetrical y differentiates the three zones: it provides a stronger support on the outside for increased control when pressing, buttering and spinning; more flexibility on lateral inner boot; and lighter still above.

360° Heel Hold systeMA complete wrap of the ankle… anchored to the heel of the boot, laces run through a brass or nylon loop to wrap around the heel to lock the ankle in place.

sUper lace slA Speed Lacing System that allows the closure of two different boot areas, the quarter part and the collar part, in order to allow you to select the perfect feeling on each part and improve comfort and foot stability. Your boot will be closed quickly and will stay tight and perform all day.

BoaSuper tested and appreciated, the worldwide recognized single BOA closure makes the leap in combination with our 540° heel retention system. The fast micrometric and immediate closure granted by the BOA system, performs at its’ best thanks to the ideal foot retention and the absence of hotspots that only our system can provide, further increased by the super strong BOA laces. There is strength in numbers.

t-trackAn innovative lacing system. It is the fastest closing system in the snowboard market, allowing a simple and immediate opening and closure procedure. You just need to do few simple operations.

LF BINDING

LET THE PASSION BEGIN!

COD: 71131010/60COL: green

The LF board is a great choice to introduce kids to the snowboard world. Thanks to the flat cam-ber shape, a zero rocker makes it catch-free by keeping the tip and tail edges lifted off the snow. The slightly set-back stance of this board provides an excellent feeling from the very first shred. With a soft flex due to the biax fiberglass, and an easy to repair extruded base, EVERYTHING IS BUILT TO INSTILL CONFIDENCE FOR THE FIRST TImE RIPPER!

sizes: XS

The LF bindings are a lightweight, double-component, with a sim-ple tool-free adjustable mono-strap. This easy response bin-ding allows for plenty of flex and comfort. Bindings are fully mi-crometric-adjustable in order to adapt with rapidly growing kids. And of course, the graphics per-fectly match the artwork of the LF board and boot: LET THE PAS-SION BEGIN!
