Product description
There’s no one else that deserves this more. When it comes to progression, style, and trick selection, Gabe Ferguson is part of the cream of the crop. With a traditional background in freestyle snowboarding (Gabe went to the Olympics to ride halfpipe) and his upbringing at Mount Bachelor, Gabe’s ability to bring freestyle tricks and sensibilities to natural terrain is unmatched. The Antidote is a perfect complement to Gabe‘s all-mountain and backcountry riding style. A directional twin with a more aggressive flex, the Antidote is packed full of technology to enhance the riding experience. This directional twin is strapped with technology, most notably, our patented SpaceGlass technology found in the tip and tail. Weight reduction and a more rigid material allows for quicker spins and better edge pressure at the contact points. Recess3D technology removes excess material from the board, minimizing swing weight and chatter while also adding visual depth to the top sheet. The Antidote’s most defining feature is its 3D Base Contour. Just 3mm of contour with 3D shaping deflects snow, eases turn initiation and plows through chunder when things get hectic. Get on the Antidote wave and experience a more “catch free” ride. When it comes to the graphic, will you wanted to make this one hit pretty close to home. We reached out to Gabe’s brother, pro snowboarder Ben Ferguson” in secret. Ben is an incredible artist and we love the way his brain works. Ben put pen to paper and leaned on their family dog, Frank, as the main source of Inspo a little reference to Gabe‘s “lung activity“ and the third eye makes existing hit pretty close to home.
- A1 Core - Lightweight, snappy, and durable, our A1 Core is made from three renewable species of timber - Bamboo, Aspen, and Paulownia. Aspen-dominant to highlight the snap and response of this wood, we've combined it with Bamboo at 30 ° underfoot to increase strength, supercharge the edge-to-edge response, and increase the pressure distribution along the edge. We've also placed lightweight paulownia in the tip and tail to help to reduce swing weight.
- Recess3D - By reducing the number of materials in low-stress zones, we're able to minimize the swing weight of your snowboard while also reducing chatter in the tip and tail - all without sacrificing strength.
- SpaceGlass Tip and Tail - A pre-cured fiberglass insert placed in the board's tip to reduce swing weight and add durability and maneuverability.
- 3D Base Contour – 3mm of 3D contour (spoon) that gradually blends from the running surface deflects soft snow, eases turn initiation, and remains predictable on hardpack.?
- ICG 20 Triax Glass with Carbon - Integrating tip-to-tail carbon fiber stringers into fiberglass layups ensures a smooth power release in and out of turns while increasing the snowboard's pop, liveliness, and longevity without adding unnecessary rigidity.
- Wax Infused Sintered 4001 Base - Built using the hardest and fastest Sintered base material on the market from Crown, the Wax-Infused Sintered 4001 holds wax longer than other Sintered bases for a smoother glide, longer.
