"The Maverick was spawned from the belief that one board really could do it all. A true quiver killer. Something designed to match the everyday requirements of our team of riders who seek the ability to ride resort in the morning and untracked backcountry lines in the afternoon. From bombing groomers to slashing pow. Stomping backcountry kickers to crushing bumps. The Maverick is the answer. The one that can do it all.
In order to achieve this we went back to basics. We designed a traditional snowboard shape and gave it a twist with a new, modern geometry. A directional twin at heart, the Maverick has a subtle 3mm taper from tip to tail. This noticeably improves soft snow performance without sacrificing balance, precision and the ability to ride switch. A simple 2 inch setback lengthens the nose whilst our Hover Camber profile acts like the hull of a ship, keeping you on top of even the deepest soft snow with ease. At the heart of the Maverick is our full Poplar wood core profiled for a mid flex. Lightweight yet strong, durable yet playful, this gives a versatility that can't be matched.
New for 1819 is our redesigned Smoothride Sidewall. This builds upon our original award winning technology and helps reduce our overall impact on the environment. A more efficient manufacturing process cuts waste without sacrificing the impact and vibration absorbing properties, helping to provide the smoothest ride possible. Fibreglass layups are also enhanced through the use of tri-axial glass that includes a pre-cured layer above the core for more response and torsional rigidity without adding weight. And of course it's all finished off with the Channel mounting system for infinite stance adjustment.
The graphics for the Powder Quiver Series has always been designed to evoke an emotional response. This developed into our signature black on black theme combining textural matte prints over the highest gloss finishes. This creates a graphic with true depth that draws you in and captures your mind. This season a matte centre spreads out to the nose and tail, melting into the smoothest gloss you’ve ever seen."
