THE PLY perfectly blends the playful nature of a skate-inspired freestyle board with the ride anything versatility of an all-terrain charger to deliver a high performing board that turns the whole mountain into one giant fun park. Built around a versatile twin tip shape, it utilises DC’s responsive Lock and Load Camber profile; this ensures that not only do you get all the feel and balance you could ever need, you also get a responsive ride under your feet that gives you the confidence to take your riding to the next level.
Rider Style
Riders of all ability levels who are looking for a freestyle-inspired all-terrain board that that is equally happy playing in the park as it is cruising around the mountain.
Shape Overview
Built around a balanced twin tip shape, the PLY delivers all the control and feel that even the most creative freestyle rider could ever need. However, thanks to some smart design at the transition points, that balance and feel doesn’t come at the expense of all-terrain versatility.
Profile
To help give the PLY that all-terrain versatility, DC utilise their innovative Lock and Load Camber profile. This combines traditional camber through the mid-section with longer flat zones to the transition points. This clever combination creates a flat stable platform that gives the board its unique balance of skate like playfulness and responsive and dynamic ride.
Internals
Heading up the PLY’s high-quality construction is the lively Stratus wood core. This responsive FSC certified core combines poplar with two beech stringers running through the centre section. This gives increased strength through the insert zones, but more importantly, it adds extra pop through the length of the board. Combine that with the playful bi-ax weave glass fibre structural layers, with Bio Resin matrix, and you get that perfect balance of all-terrain control and freestyle feel that has made the PLY such a success.
Base
Keeping with the PLY freestyle roots, DC fit it with their easy repair True Base. This high molecular extruded base needs minimal maintenance to keep its speed.

Profile - Hybrid
Hybrid cambers are generally made up of a combination of different profiles throughout the length of the board. These allow designers to dial in very specific performance criteria.
Shape - Twin Tip
True Twin boards are as their name implies true twins. From the centre point of the board they are identical going out to both tip and tail. With a centred stance these boards are totally balanced front to rear. The advantage this gives is that the board will perform identical going both forwards and backwards. Additionally the balanced weight gives the board more rotational control as it has less of a inertia.
