Description:
The Café Racer is a classic softboot carving board, ideal for tight turns when tearing up resort groomers. The full camber offers excellent grip from tip to tail and rides like a train on tracks. It’s a great board for riders just starting out and learning how to carve properly, but it can also handle the skills and turns of an experienced rider. Even though it is designed mainly for groomers, it can easily be taken off piste for some deep powder turns. We recommend riding this board with steep positive binding angles to prevent foot drag as well as a slightly narrower stance to let the board flex more naturally under your feet. If getting super low on your turns is what you care about most, this is the shape for you!
Board Profile:
Our FULL CAMBER is a modern version of the classic camber that many of us grew up with. Like the classic, it offers more stability and grip because more of your board is in the snow when it’s set on edge. Unlike the classic version, ours offers more float and speed in soft snow due to a smoother transition into the nose area.

Size Guide:
This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorize riders and their preferences. Our philosophy of snowboarding is to try new shapes, lengths, widths, and to keep an open mind for alternative riding experiences; however, we do have some limits to consider so that your board will work as it was designed to.
Your weight plays a major role in how the board will flex, and your shoe size will affect toe and heel drag when turning. The below size chart is for reference only, as our recommendations may vary depending on your stance and riding ability.
