Rome Service Dog Snowboard
Man's best friend in deep powder
Let the service dog off the leash and feel its power. The board is playful yet responsive, ideal for quick turns in tight terrain. The Free-The-Ride-Camber profile in combination with a big 3D nose, lets you float through bottomless powder and is also a lot of fun in the park.
Riding style
All-Mountain/Freeride for advanced riders - This board is perfect for fast turns on the piste and in the backcountry. It offers plenty of float in deep powder and reliable performance and agility in challenging terrain.
Shape
The tapered directional shape is perfect for all-mountain and freeriding. The nose is slightly wider than the tail and provides for controlled turns in any terrain. The offset of the bindings in the direction of the tail (setback) makes the nose a little longer for even more uplift in powder.
Profile
The Free-The-Ride Camber profile comes with a positive camber in the tail, a flat camber on the front binding and a rocker in the nose. The positive camber offers pop and good edge hold. The flat section allows for easy and quick turn initiation. The rocker in the nose increases buoyancy in powder. The Diamond 3D profile is essentially a 3D shaped nose. Just like the shape of a spoon, this uplifts the contact points off the snow to prevent catching edge and increase uplift in pow. Without compromising stability, pop or grip on hard snow.
Flex
The medium flex makes the snowboard hard enough for powerful turns, but still soft enough for a playful ride.
Construction
The PowerSlide Base is a high quality extruded base. Quick and easy to maintain. 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. In the case of the Service Dog, bamboo HotRods were installed for a playful driving experience.

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.
