OFTEN COPIED, NEVER DUPLICATED.
The board that changed the way we look at snowboards.
Length is no longer the only way to stay above powder. This board is all about surface area displacement to create float and stability in a package that has much less swing-weight due to its dramatically shortened length. A tight turning radius facilitates tree-bound powder hunts, and a custom crafted rocker line keeps the nose up at any speed. Often copied, but never duplicated, there’s only one 420.
420 TECH
RIDERS: DCP
LENGTHS: 141, 145, 148, 152
SHAPE: Directional Weird
OUTLINE: Radial
CORE: Poplar/Paulownia
GLASS: Triax
OUTLINE
RADIAL
Radial: When basics are good. A radial outline is how the classic snowboards were made. Where you have the radius that draws a single circle. It’s the most basic way to turn, it will allow you to carve and hold an edge throughout your arc.
CORE
POPLAR/PAULOWNIA
Designed specifically for the 420 and 20/20.
The weightless core strikes a critical balance between lightweight and strength. Using a lower density species of Poplar in areas that are not as structural and Paulownia in the areas that are, we’re able to shave precious weight off our beloved 420 and now the 20/20. This helps a board not only float, but “feel” floaty.

BASE MATERIALS
SINTERED TRUE
This is the term we use and is the grey zone many companies play in. We call it Sintered Spec because it’s hardness and chemical properties are very close to true sintered and it’s on-snow performance is also very close to true sintered - but it’s formed using the extrusion process. How? – Well the raw material is actually pre-consumer recycled (meaning it never left the factory) sintered base material. So while the heating and extrusion process has softened it slightly, it’s still much harder than true Extruded.
