Designed for Exploring.

The Trooper Pro is a directional powder snowboard made to ride short. The Trooper is built for all conditions. Ridden short, the generous waist fits your boots and bindings without toe or heel drag. Taper and hover camber sink the tail and lift the nose when it gets deep, and the tapered pin tail keeps it nimble everywhere else.

Medium flex. There's no plastic topsheet: the top layer is Phonon pre-tensioned fibreglass with 11 carbon stringers woven in, plus tri-axial fibreglass, over a poplar and paulownia core, a sintered ISO Speed 7500 base and 95A SmoothRide urethane sidewalls. The 156 weighs 2.4 kg (5.4 lb). 4x2 inserts.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

• Powder: Size up for maximum float.
• All Mountain: Run your normal size to bomb everything.
• Freestyle: Size down for tight turns and hit runs.

Sizes 152, 154, 156 and 158. Waists run from 265 to 270 mm, and rider weight runs from 65 to 90 kg (140 to 200 lb) across the range.

The Phonon manufacturing process leaves small variations in the finish, which give each board its own character.
