The Shank is stuffed with a new piece of technology called the No Hang up Rocker, which is Romes answer to the Burton Nug Tech. The board has a 4-5cm length drop which allows for a true length, but with a shorter effective edge, which means for all mountain playful fun this board absolutely kills it. Packed full of carbon Pop Rods this board really enables the rider to have maximum fun, whilst still having a stable control.

- Carbon Single Barrel Quickrip Sidecut Skatecore Profiling Butterout Transition Zones Glossary Super Pop Core Matrix Three zones of low-density wood with extended segments of poplar create a light, smooth transition of flex & a snappy reply of pop that is embedded in the boards like the Crossrocket, Shank, Agent Rocker, Lo-Fi Rocker, & Gold. Straight Triax 30 Laminate The laminate that covers all the bases from the park to all-mountain peaks, the 30-degree off-axis fibers set the personality of the board to flex into low speed butters & pop into high speed takeoffs. Provides some extra kick in a slash & maintains your style while getting creative on & off the trails. Sinter True Base Durable structure with wax absorbing traits that create a fast moving base that can hold up to the abuse of park lines & keep up your crew in tree lines. Basalt Impact Plates Directly under the bindings is the most vulnerable area of any snowboard. With extreme amounts of force being directed towards the baseplates, compression & stress needs to be eliminated & absorbed as much as possible. Made from Kevlar, Basalt or Glass, Impact Plates reduce compressions by 2 times. Hotrods
- Carbon Single Barrel One rod of preloaded energy in the nose & another in the tail that takes power from your bindings & snaps it through your turns & hits. Pure ollie & nollie power without unwanted torque. Quickrip Sidecut Advanced sidecut geometry giving a short playful feel at slower speeds & a longer fast, stable feel at higher speeds. The Mid-Board contact points end the running length at slow speeds & add grip at high speeds. Skatecore Profiling Take stock skate lines from park-to-park. A softer profile in between the bindings & a stiffer nose & tail makes the board feel like a skate for turning & ollieing. Same tail-slide feel on & off the mountain. Butterout Transition Zones Smooth as butta; this drawn out transition zone is a playful take on our classic design, creating a play-a-round freestyle board, guaranteed to fuel your snowboard addiction.
