Louif describes his riding as hybrid, often combining elements of powder and manufactured structures, blending both street and freeride skills. Using his shaping expertise and Lou’s critical feedback during the proto process, Wolle created this tapered directional board built for freestyle tactics in deep terrain, satisfying Lou’s hybrid demand.
Versatile
Rock out camber provides a freestyle feeling underfoot with easy turn initiation while the tapered directional shape enhances float and agility in all conditions.
Float
A tapered tail and directional shape combined with rock out camber provide ultimate float and maneuverability in deep snow.
Pop
ABC Wrapper construction uses lively bamboo for explosive ollies and reactive turns, combined with Popster and our light and snappy Ghost Green Core for maximum load.
Features
Rock Out Camber
Flat between your bindings for stability, Camber near the feet for response and a rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
Quadralizer
Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
ABC Wrapper
More pop, less plastic! ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural wood veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.
Tapered directional
Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
BA MD
Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
Popster
The core is strategically milled inside of the insert packs, allowing the board to flex more naturally underfoot and transfer energy into the nose and tail for added pop.
Sintered EG
Engineered for fast glide speed and maximum wax retention in all conditions. Gallium strengthens impact resistance, while the Electra finish enhances speed.
Ghost Green Core
Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light wood.
Fine stone finish
Our fine stone finish is particularly efficient on our Sintered EG base, speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
