Academy Propaganda Snowboard 2020

THE BEST PARK BOARD EVER?

Over the past ten years, the progression of urban and park snowboarding has been nothing short of incredible; what was once seen as pushing the boundaries is now seen as the norm. To keep up with this progression, the evolution of the jib board has been equally remarkable. What was once a soft and lifeless noodle has now become a dynamic, precision piece of equipment. Throughout that time, there has been one board that has continuously evolved, always ahead of the curve, always pushing the boundaries of design and technology. That board is the Propaganda. Aimed uncompromisingly at the urban jibber, this unique snowboard has been at the top of its game from day one. Built around a fully balanced blunt profile twin shape with flat camber, the Propaganda combines state of the art, high-quality construction with all the control and feel you could ever need. This creates a stunning board that delivers the perfect balance of performance in the park and out on the mountain, underlining the Propaganda’s credentials to be the best park board ever.

Rider Style

Park and urban rail riders who are looking for a performance board that will kill technical rail riding but which will also be great playing around on the mountain.

Shape Overview

Over the years, Acadamy has honed the shape of the Propaganda to park perfection. Built around a fully balanced twin tip shape, it delivers the ultimate in rider control and feel. The specially developed nose and tail shape have been engineered to reduce swing weight at the extremities of the board, once again stepping up control while spinning. However, that unique shape has also been developed to create a wider, more stable zone for butters and presses.

Profile

The Propaganda utilises a flat camber profile to deliver the perfect balance of skate feel, pop and stability.

Construction

Key to the Propaganda’s stunning performance is its quality construction. Originating out of the highly acclaimed Never Summer factory, it’s spec list reads is enough to embarrass boards costing a whole lot more. Heading up the high-end build is the tip to tail NS Superlight wood core. This lightweight yet poppy CNC profiled core combines a custom blend of wood species to deliver the optimum balance of strength and performance. To this Acadamy then add structural layers formed from Never Summer’s exclusive Bi-Lite glass, this gives the board its playful feel while the Harmonic tip and tail dampener and Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilisers dampen out the core giving a smoother more controlled underfoot feel.

Base

The Durasurf 4501 Sintered base is extremely fast and will provide unmatched performance and durability.
