Work grade steel scraper with sharpened edges, for removal of excess material from bases. Also useful when undertaking base repairs with repair candles or P-Tex.
Material: Work Steel Our Opinion A part of the home workshop kit, a steel scraper helps with base repairs, removing excess material & protecting the base when you are heating up repair candles. Be careful of those sharp edges though! Is This For Me?A requirement if you are planning to make any repairs to the base of your skis or snowboard. Also handy for removing plastic 'hairs' from the base prior to waxing.

Solid construction methods such as the hardened Snag Free base material & Armadillo Plates are signs that Stepchild takes board manufacture & durability seriously. It’s about the only thing they do take seriously, however the 2 year warranty on defects in materials & craftsmanship backs this up. The Dirtbag is low-cost but it isn’t ‘cheap’. Low key graphics & simple (yet solid) construction keep the costs down so If you’re looking for a low cost board then you can’t do better than getting one made by a true ‘by snowboarders for snowboards’ brand like Stepchild. Specification: Profile: Zero Camber Running length: 1200mm Waist

Width: 250mm Sidecut radius: 7.7m Setback: Centred Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 4 (Specification based on the 153cm board) Note: Topsheet colours are size specific

Features: The highly flexible yet durable Armocore combines poplar wood stringers with an advanced wood derived composite which makes up the core. This strength & flex is well suited to park riders & jibbers. Snag Free Base Material has been hardened during the pressing process, this makes the base more durable & easier to maintain & is applied to all Stepchild snowboards. An additional diamond shaped layer of fibreglass re-enforces the binding insert area. These Armadillo Plates help to prevent inset blowouts from high impacts & heavy landings. Future Glue is a standard on all Stepchild boards due to its unparalleled strength in bonding the base to the core. Specifically chosen to allow for more torsional flex Biax Fibreglass is made up of interweaving vertical & horizontal fibreglass stands. I like the approach taken by Stepchild. They definitely have a focus on fun & don’t take themselves too seriously. They make simple boards, that are well built (in Austria), at a price that means you still have some change for a lift ticket & maybe even enough to pay your rent. The zero camber profile makes the board extremely forgiving as well as incredibly agile. It turns on a six-pence & is a dream when it comes to butters & presses. You can’t help but have fun spinning, sliding & jumping every hit in sight. Is it for me? The flat profile & low flex rating makes for a pretty soft ride. If you prefer buttering around the resort & hitting rails in the park than charging everything at mach-10 speed then the Dirtbag is the board for you. It would make a fine board for both indoor & dry slopes
- handy for us British snowboarders & has such a favourable fun-to-price ratio that you should probably have one in your quiver anyway.

The winner of a number of awards this season the Latchkey has everything going for it. The true-twin shape lends itself to freestyle but the rocker profile means it’ll float on those days when the park is buried with the fresh stuff. Specification: Profile: Reverse Camber Running length: 1180mm Waist

Width: 249.5mm Sidecut radius: 8.0m Setback: Centred Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 4 (Specification based on the 153cm board) Note: Base & topsheet colours are size specific

Features: The award winning Kicker I Core is made using sustainably sourced poplar & is milled by computer. It is soft yet snappy making it suitable for all areas of the mountain. Snag Free Base Material has been hardened during the pressing process, this makes the base more durable & easier to maintain & is applied to all Stepchild snowboards. An additional diamond shaped layer of fibreglass re-enforces the binding insert area. These Armadillo Plates help to prevent inset blowouts from high impacts & heavy landings. Future Glue is a standard on all Stepchild boards due to its unparalleled strength in bonding the base to the core. Specifically chosen to allow for more torsional flex Biax Fibreglass is made up of interweaving vertical & horizontal fibreglass stands. The latchkey had one of the best reactions from all the boards we tested this year. Despite its simple construction it just feels good, really good. Classed as a freestyle board based on its twin shape & forgiving flex, the Latchkey will suit beginner & intermediate resort riders who will appreciate how forgiving it is & how much there is to be had riding it. Is it for me? If you’re a freestyle rider that likes the ‘looser’ feel of rocker then the Latchkey offers what you need at a great price. Likewise the Latchkey is progression friendly so if you’re fairly new to snowboarding then mastering those turns & riding switch couldn’t be easier. It has enough versatility to take you through the park & the occasional powder day.

The award winning Latchkey has been upgraded for this winter with the addition of Kevlar strips to increase both response & pop. It also features the new weight-saving Light Kicker core with XTC graphic application. The result is a board that’s still extremely forgiving, but is capable of popping higher & riding harder than before. The 2014/15 Latchkey comes with added fun. Specification: Profile: Reverse Camber Setback: 0 Flex: Soft-Mid Size  CM Effective Edge MM Waist Width MM Rider Weightkg 151 1165 247 41-66 153 1180 250 50-75 156 1200 251 55-82

Features: Featuring a reinforced mellower Reverse Camber profile with raised contact points to deliver a soft responsive ride. The True Twin shape is twin in every way. Identical nose & tail, sidecut & stance ensures the board rides exactly the same regular & switch. Putting the sustainably sourced Poplar wood core through & extra computer controlled milling process strips away excess material, meaning the Light Kicker XTC core is extremely light & doesn’t compromise on strength & durability. XTC is the process in which Stepchild apply the top graphic directly to the fibreglass in order to reduce a layer of construction & increase weight-saving further. A Biax Fibreglass weave combines two stands of fibreglass to provide a combination of mellow flex with high energy response. The reverse camber model features two full-length parallel Kevlar strips to increase pop & response. This also improves flexibility & strength without compromising the weight of the board. The authentic camber version features one Kevlar strip. The Extruded Snag Free Base has strong impact qualities so is perfectly suited to hitting man made features in

The Sucks is at the core of the Stepchild range & has won multiple awards over the years under many different guises. For 2014 we see upgraded Triax fibreglass to give this true-twin camber board added snap. Specification: Profile: Regular Camber Running length: 1190mm Waist

Width: 250mm Sidecut radius: 7.9m Setback: Centred Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 4 (Specification based on the 155cm board) Note: Base & topsheet graphics are size specific & base colours may vary

Features: The award winning Kicker I Core is made using sustainably sourced poplar & is milled by computer. It is soft yet snappy making it suitable for all areas of the mountain. Snag Free Base Material has been hardened during the pressing process, this makes the base more durable & easier to maintain & is applied to all Stepchild snowboards. Structurn are elongated dimples on the base of the board. This patented base structure is scientifically proven to make the base run faster in all conditions. An additional diamond shaped layer of fibreglass re-enforces the binding insert area. These Armadillo Plates help to prevent inset blowouts from high impacts & heavy landings. Future Glue is a standard on all Stepchild boards due to its unparalleled strength in bonding the base to the core. Triax Fibreglass uses three strands of interweaving fibreglass to deliver a stiffer torsional flex while also increasing the response. I’ve got a Sucks from a couple of seasons ago & it’s still my go-to board for park days. I like the precision of camber when approaching rails & setting an edge on landing. The Triax fibreglass update has increased the torsion stiffness a little, giving more power off the edges when it’s ridden a little harder. I enjoy all aspects of snowboarding & carving corduroy piste is up there with my favourite things to do. That is another thing that the Sucks definitely does NOT suck at. Is it for me? For intermediate to advanced park riders that want the benefits of camber: solid edge hold & loads of pop, & don’t want to sacrifice that for the looseness of a rocker or flat profile. Also snowboarders that enjoy riding the piste that are looking for the same characteristics.
