ThirtyTwo SNAFU 2027 Snowboard

The ThirtyTwo SNAFU 2027 snowboard pairs a directional shape with a 6/10 flex and Directional Camber / Rocker profile. Its all-mountain brief puts soft snow first, making it relevant to riders who want an energetic board for the piste and fresh snowfall.

A directional board for pistes and fresh snow

A medium flex lets you work the board, while camber provides rebound as you finish a turn. Its character is more directional than that of a park twin: a longer nose and narrower tail distribute support for powder riding. On firmer snow, deliberate edge pressure remains important. It suits a rider more interested in exploring varied terrain than building every run around tricks in both directions.

Profile and shape on snow

Tapered Directional means the nose is wider than the tail. Together with rocker towards the nose, this helps the front of the board stay up and makes steering through softer snow more manageable. Camber in the working section supplies support and energy when loaded. Pow Kick shapes the raised ends for deeper snow. Switch riding is possible, but the directional geometry feels different from a symmetrical twin.

Construction and technology

• Poplar and paulownia core – combines woods with different properties for a lively flex without unnecessary weight.
• Biax Fiberglass – a two-direction fibre layout supports a compliant torsional flex.
• Premium Sintered Base – a sintered base supports efficient glide; regular waxing helps maintain its performance.
• RailGuard Sidewalls – sidewalls protect the construction along the edges.
• Impact Shield Topsheet – the topsheet protects the upper surface during use.
• Hardened Steel Edge – hardened steel forms the working edge used to steer the board.

Directional Camber / Rocker combines camber support and rebound with front rocker to help the nose stay above softer snow.	Tapered Directional has a wider nose than tail, helping the front stay up in powder and favouring forward riding.

Frequently asked questions

How should I choose board length?

Consider your weight, riding style and preferences, together with boot size. If you are between sizes, share those details with us for help choosing.

How do I match board width to my boots?

Check the actual outsole length, binding angles and how far the boot extends beyond the edges. Boot size alone is not enough to choose the width.

What does a 6/10 flex mean?

It balances support with the ability to work the board’s flex. Rider weight and technique also influence how stiff it feels.

Can I ride it switch?

Yes, although its directional geometry feels different when reversed. SNAFU is primarily focused on all-mountain and powder riding.

How should I care for the sintered base?

Wax the base regularly and check edges and minor damage during servicing. Dry the board after riding and store it somewhere dry.
