No subject to promotional offersThe Big Kahuna is a snowboard from Ampliddesigned for freeride use and aimed at both experienced and expertriders.
Amplid offers you a high-performanceboard with an armada of technologies and innovations. It's part of the Future Shapesrange, a range of boards specialising in snowboarding in fresh snow.
On the programme: a camber Cruisewith a huge nose and a short tail that allow it to literally glide over the powder without the slightest effort, while retaining great manoeuvrability. Its long but low camber and Early Rise front rocker are perfect for venturing into the snow, but also for carving big, clean turns on groomed snow.
With maximum downforcein mind, the Big Kahuna is equipped with Floatation Tipstechnology, which maximises lift without affecting speed. Its crow-tail heel will make you feel like you're flying over powder fields.
Raising plates have been integrated to prevent your heels and toes from rubbing against the snow and its width has been increased to 276 mm.
In terms of materials, it features a lightweight, durable poplar core Omni Core a lightweight, durable poplar core, a full-length carbon centre band, bi-axial fibreglass and even hardened glass inserts under the bindings. With all this combined with the rigid flex, the Big Kahuna becomes a responsive board that effectively absorbs vibrations for a very surfy feel.

Camber :
Cruise Camber (Camber + rocker): the standard camber under the supports complemented by the rocker in the nose makes the board even more lively in powder and gives it the ability to go everywhere.
Shape:
Tapered Directional classic shape with a nose twice as long as the tail for lift in ungroomed snow. A tapered shape is one in which the nose is wider than the tail, making it easier to enter and exit corners, stable at high speeds and more buoyant.
Floatation Tips the square nose increases the board's buoyancy in powder snow.
Jekyll & Hyde Geometry: provides maximum contact between the board and the snow to develop maximum lift.
Core:
Omni Core a wood core with proven resistance, the result of years of research by Amplid. Versatile and robust core.
Carbon Pop Band carbon strips running the length of the board through each insert area. Amplifies pop and retains the board's natural flex.
Hexo2 Lite the spatulas have honeycombed sections for effective weight reduction!
Pre-cured Impact Plates reinforcement of the core at the fastener inserts to limit impact caused by the fasteners.
Topsheet:
Biax Glass double layer of fibreglass applied in both directions for a responsive, forgiving board.
Thick Cut : The front and rear tips are thicker than the rest of the board. This reduces vibrations and increases stability.
Sole :
Sintered 7 base ultra-high density sintered sole, very hard and resistant.
La Big Kahuna de chez Amplid est un board qui s'est avéré vraiment jouissif lors des grosses conditions : on parle de chutes de neige qui dépasse les 50 cm et qui vous empêchent de dormir la veille tant l'excitation est maximum !
Ces lignes de côte larges et son rocker progressif permettent de littéralement flotter sur la neige fraîche. L'immense spatule avant et son rocker progressif permettent de déjauger sans appliquer la moindre force dessus et le flex est rigide sans pour autant vous casser les jambes. Les vibrations sont super bien absorbées et la Big Kahuna apporte des sensations qui vous rappelleront vos sessions surf d'été.
Les Plus : Portance, fluidité, performance générale
Les Moins : On cherche encore...
