The Rome do-it-all board

The Rome Freaker cannot be pigeonholed. It shreds with you everything from park, to sidehits, deep euro-carves on hard slopes and deep powder.
The secret of this all-mountain snowboard is the combination of Fusion Camber for stability, Bamboo Hotrods for snap and pop and the Directional Twin shape. Bring freestyle to your freeride runs and rock any terrain.

Riding style
A board for every terrain and every rider. Carving turns on the piste, surf turns in the powder or creative runs in the park. With this board the good times never end.

Shape
The Directional Twin shape has the advantage that the nose is slightly longer than the tail, giving you more float in powder. However, the nose and tail are the same width, so even switch riding is no problem.

Profile
The Fusion Camber profile combines a classic camber between the bindings with a rocker in the tip and tail. This creates a playful and forgiving riding experience while maintaining the pop and precision of the camber.

Flex
The medium-stiff flex makes the board perfect for just about anything. Not too hard for the park and not too soft for hard powder runs.

Construction
The Pop Core includes two zones of lightweight woods combined with poplar wood for a buttery smooth ride with high power flex. The Sinterstrong Base is easy to repair, with good wax absorption. A low-maintenance base for every rider level. HotRods are thin tubes made of carbon, bamboo or fibreglass and are embedded in milled channels in the wooden core of the board. The flex and pop can thus be precisely placed and changed.

Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.

Very good

I chose this board to be a jump board next to my DC Ply backyard/jib board. This board kills it with edge control, with agressive camber and pop. However this is quite much to handle so take this in mind that it is not a beginner board. I weigh 70 kg which is quite ideal for this model but it takes still a lot of energy to move this board.

It is a powerful board and you will understand after riding it how Rene flies so high with it. I enjoyed with this board that it made exactly what I wanted it to do - it goes straght and with a lot of speed and then its up to you to be able to handle it. It is a progressive board and I am sure it will make me a better snowboarder as I have to take charge. It is not a loose board but I loosened up a bit after 4 sessions.

Take this board if you can handle that 7 flex and want to fly to the moon from every kicker, big or small. It is not easy to butter that is true but for a good butter you will need speed anyway. I was surprised that I enjoyed rails as much with this board for it being a 25.4 mm wide, which is somewhat wider that I am used to riding (25.1-25.2). I think it has the best edge hold that I've had on any board (Huck Knife, The Outsiders, PLY, Outerspace Living, Dropout, The Sleepwalker...)

About me:

I am Jussi and have worked at Blue Tomato for 2 years. I am a Snowboarder with over 8 years of experience, mainly riding Freestyle. I am 180 tall and I bought this product in size 155 cm .
