The Alfa snowboard
Alfa is the Jones Mountain Twin of THE snowboards.
True 3D nose (spoon shape) true Twin Tip snowboard with sine wave MagnaTraction training like Jones, Yes and Libtech snowboards.
Own the whole mountain, all the tracks, all the fun details of the landscape - Alfa is the definition of a "you can go anywhere, you can do anything" type all-mountain board. No matter what you want to do somewhere else tomorrow, this board can be your one and only choice. THE Alfa can be easily controlled on all snow and track types. It has optimized edge control (Magnatraction) to ensure a smooth ride. It will have no problem cornering and slaloming at low speeds, and it will keep itself stable at high speeds even at 70-90km/h. Whether it's the tenth or the ten thousandth time you're out on the snow, THE Alfa is always under your feet with unparalleled benevolence.
THE Alfa is an all-mountain true twintip snowboard that knows everything the snowboarding world can build today - and we think it's for everyone who shoots with a twintip (duck) setup. It was built to perform great at all levels, regardless of your style or terrain. With THE Alfa, you can explore the entire mountain without compromise. It takes corners with ease even at slow speeds and remains stable at high speeds, including driving on icy slopes. THE Alfa is for all snowboarding levels.
THE SHAPE:: Cam Rock. The nose has a 3D spoon shape, similar to Jones snowboards, gently spooned. This way, there is little danger of getting stuck on the track (Edge Catching) and the front takes it great in soft snow.
The Alfa is cambered under the bindings and flat between the bindings for stability and pop without being too aggressive. The Alfa also has rocker in the nose and rear for easy cornering and exiting. This undulating camrock shape gives the Alfa its versatility. It is not only designed for one special terrain, but performs excellently everywhere.
The shape of the nose and tail is the same in both directions (Twintip), but the nose is longer than the tail if you stand a little further back from the center, which is possible. This makes THE Alfa very versatile, stable at any speed and easy to turn.
