PRODUCT DETAILS
PRODUCT DETAILS
The PUBLIC Research is the most freeride focused board within the Public snowboard line. The overall directional shape and 8mm of taper makes this board float effortlessly in powder and rail turns on hard-pack while maintaining some freestyle DNA that PUBLIC is known for. This board is packed with all the best technology, such as Carbon V and tip to tail carbon stringers. Combining this new tech with a tried and true Poplar Light Core and super fast sintered base gives you an unmatched freeride board for exploring the entire mountain.
- MOUNTAIN ALERT CAMBER
- A directional version of our tried and true Alert Camber is built around a majority camber profile for edge hold, control and pop. The tip and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.
- POPLAR LIGHT CORE
- Poplar Light is a premium version of our tried and true Poplar core and uses 100% FCS certified wood. Weve strategically placed super lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core to reduce weight but maintain a snappy feel. Strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks at the binding line and increase insert retention. The Poplar Light Core is only used on our highest-end boards.
- CARBON V
- Carbon Stringers are strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased response from the binding to the contact point. This gives the board endless snap in and out of turns and an overall increase in pop.
- URETHANE SIDEWALLS
- Urethane sidewalls are used in all PUBLIC boards for their superior dampening properties compared to the industry standard ABS and P-tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are more durable against impact on rocks or rails to prevent your board from delaminating when you get caught slippin in the park or backcountry.
- SINTERED BASE
- Rather than melting polyethylene pellets together extrusion, sintered bases are manufactured by crushing the pellets together under high pressure. This makes a sintered base more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion-resistant. In other words it makes the board faster and more durable!

PROFILE:
Rocker-Camber-Rocker

Soft Flex- 50-80 Flex. Forgiving and easier to apply pressure to while riding.
Medium Flex- 80-100 Flex. Versatile and responsive in varying conditions and terrain.
Stiff Flex- 100+ Flex. Less forgiving allowing for pressure to transfer edge to edge for a quick responsive board at high speeds.
RIDER LEVEL:
Intermediate-Advanced
Beginner- From a first-time rider to learning the foundations of carving and stopping.
Intermediate- A rider that has mastered the basics wants to explore riding different terrain or increasing speed.
Advanced/Expert- An experienced rider that can ride difficult terrain in any conditions.

- Extruded Base - Found on most beginner and freestyle snowboards. Durable and made to be easier to repair and maintain.
- Sintered Base - Absorbs and holds wax better for more custom tuning resulting in faster performance but does require more frequent wax application.

SHAPE
- Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail to ride the board in either direction and balanced freestyle riding.
- Directional Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail with the binding inserts set back for more surface area in the nose and versatility when riding in different snow conditions and terrain.
- Directional - The nose is typically longer and/or wider than the tail for float in powder and downhill riding.
