Inside a Proteus Snowboard

More than just our adjustable camber technology. Every Proteus is built & over-engineered with the best available materials

PiO2 Custom Topsheet

Customize your own graphics for our PiO2 textured top sheet, or choose a design from our diverse shop collection

Strategic Top Composites

Full sheet of biaxial glass & strategically placed triaxial glass patches added underfoot to effective edge to give you added pop, durability, & torsional rigidity where you want it

Adjustable Camber Tech

Proteus’ patented, lightweight, adjustable camber mechanism allows you to tune the board from full camber to full rocker, s-curve, & everything in between

Impact Resistant Tipfill

UHMWPE is an extremely tough, wear-resistant plastic that has over twice the impact strength of ABS. Ensuring that the tips of your board will remain intact after years of abuse.

Shock Absorbing Polyurethane

Engineered for a smoother ride with sidewalls that absorb vibrations & chatter – while absorbing heavy rail impacts to ensure the board will not delaminate over time

Hybrid Ultralight Core

All continuous hybrid planks of strong poplar to reinforce bindings & sidewalls blended with ultralight paulownia everywhere else for predictable flex & a board that is lighter than the competition.

Calculated Carbon

High-modulus carbon reinforcements work in tension at calculated angles to increase torsional rigidity & transmit maximum energy from your binding to the effective edge – without hitting yield stresses from large drops & landings

Custom Composite Choice

Every Proteus is built to order, allowing you to choose a composite laminate to match your riding style. Pick between 4 glass weights & fiber orientations

VDS Rubber

Thin vulcanized rubber sheets used to account for serious side impacts, chatter absorption, increased board longevity, & decreased delamination

Full-Wrap Edges

Hardened steel edges with a polished sharp finish wrap the whole board and traction points underfoot provide added grip on the mountain

7500 One Piece Base

ISO 7500 sintered bases are some of the fastest available and have better wax retention than the extruded alternative. A single piece ensures base impacts do not pop out separate sections & a simple PTEX candle handles repairs

Explore Proteus’ various camber & rocker configurations…

Camber Configurations

Full Camber

For full camber, completely loosen both screws until your indicator stops moving, then slightly tighten the screws so that they do not vibrate loose. This setup will give you the best edge hold, hands down.

Mid Camber

Start to tighten each screw from the full camber configuration until each one is somewhere mid-way between the first two indicators. This configuration gives excellent rebound on turns, but will prevent catching edges better than the full camber configuration.

Flat

For a flat setup, tighten both screws until your indicator is on the center line and use a flat surface to get it perfect. This is a great versatile configuration that offers a balance between responsiveness and forgiveness.

Full Rocker

For full rocker, completely tighten both screws until you start to feel resistance. The indicator should stop just short of the dash closest to the center. This setup will provide the easiest riding and most playful board. Use this in the heaviest snow.

Mid S Curve

For a directional Mid S Curve configuration adjust tighten your front side so that it is just past the middle indicator. Tighten your back side so that it is mid way between the full camber and flat indicator. This directional shape will provide great all mountain performance if you don’t plan on riding switch.

Full S Curve

For Full S Curve configuration you want to tighten your front end until you feel resistance. This should be just short of the indicator closest to the center of the board. Just barely tighten the back screw so that it does not vibrate loose. This is a fun directional configuration that gives you tons of lift through the powder but the camber in the back will allow you really lean back into those deep powder turns.

The Stiffness Guide

We offer 4 build types that cater to rider preferences for board stiffness. The 4 types are determined by different fiberglass weights, placement, and fiber orientation.

Flex

This is our most playful and forgiving flex profile. Great for lighter riders and smaller boards. Butter and press all day long.

Build:

19oz Triax Glass Reinforcement
12oz Biax Glass Top
12oz Biax Glass Bottom
Calculated Carbon Torsional Support

Stiffness: Flex Soft & Playful Stiff & Aggressive

Soft

This is the profile for someone that wants a softer ride, but still wants a board that can stick bigger drops and handle more agressive riding.

Build:

19oz Triax Glass Reinforcement
12oz Biax Glass Top
18oz Biax Glass Bottom
Calculated Carbon Torsional Support

Stiffness: Soft Soft & Playful Stiff & Aggressive

Standard

This is our all mountain flex that gives the best balance of flexibility between your feet, but energy and rigidity from each binding to effective edge.

Build:

19oz Triax Glass Reinforcement
18oz Biax Glass Top
18oz Biax Glass Bottom
Calculated Carbon Torsional Support

Stiffness: Standard Soft & Playful Stiff & Aggressive

Stiff

This flex profile is for riders who know what they want and are trying to get away from a playful board and into a more aggressive ride. This profile favors bigger lines and higher speeds.

Build:

19oz Triax Glass Reinforcement
19oz Triax Glass Top
19oz Triax Glass Bottom
