The UNW8 is considered the most ruthless precision machine in the Amplid lineup — now even smoother and more stable thanks to our redesigned core profile and upgraded Antiphase technology. The combination of Hollow Tech honeycomb, the ultra-responsive Zero 90 Carbon layup, and its almost-twin geometry gives the board explosive pop, razor-sharp torsional control, and confidence at velocities that overwhelm ordinary decks.
From carving trenches at mach speed to boosting pipe walls or clearing massive park features, everything about the UNW8 is engineered for riders who don’t lift off the throttle. The world-class sintered base is built for maximum glide, enabling longer straight-lines, higher speeds, and deeper carves. For the speed-hungry and precision-obsessed, this is your weapon of choice.
Tapered Twin
Blends twin flex with a subtly tapered shape, narrowing slightly toward the tail. This geometry maintains freestyle playfulness while offering better float in deep snow. Ideal for backcountry freestyle and creative powder riding.
Pop Camber
Burly man-camber, designed for maximum edge hold and explosive pop. Pop Camber is best suited to high-end shreds where performance is paramount. It’s hard work to ride well, but being slingshot out of carves and launched high above the coping is all the reward you’ll ever need.
Swing weight, no thanks
HEXO2 honeycomb inlays in the tip and tail cut unnecessary weight right where it matters most – reducing swing weight for faster spins, easier turn initiation, and a more agile ride when it gets tight.
Precision through carbon, flow through glass—Zero 90 Carbon delivers both
Amplid’s revolutionary Zero 90 Carbon Tech gives you crisp edge hold and instant response when carving, thanks to carbon fibers laid at 90°. Meanwhile, the smooth, amicable glass fiber flex along the longitudinal axis keeps you firmly in the driver’s seat.
All Terrain Tips
A smooth kick radius and fuller tip outline improves deep snow floatation without adding swing weight.
Antiphase
An advanced composite damping technology, developed in house at Amplid, which reduces unwanted vibrations for a smoother more controlled ride.
Basalt Suspension Strips
Running along the topsheet in a V-configuration from the contact points towards the bindings, these narrow bands of Basalt fabric dampen unwanted vibrations, reducing rider fatigue and keeping you edge engaged with the snow for improved control. Get the Rolls Royce feeling!
Bezièr Curves
We replace standard radii with Beziér curves in our sidecut and nose design, allowing us to precisely calculate the core’s flex curve for the most harmonious ride imaginable.
Carbon Pop Band
A narrow band of uni-directional carbon stringers that run through the centreline of a snowboard from tip-to-tail (or until the contact points to avoid interference with dampening systems) increasing pop and extending flex memory without altering torsional stiffness.
Hollow Tech
Amplid’s Hollow Tech, inspired by learnings from the Hollow Project, uses resin-proof profiled honeycomb inserts to solve weight and performance challenges. This innovation reduces weight while maintaining strength and flexibility, delivering superlight boards and ultraquiet tips and tails.
Impact Pads
In the top laminate we have added multidirectional glass pads in the binding area, to avoid dings caused by the pointy corners of binding bases. These pads enhance durability while only adding minimal weight.
Lite Core
Uber light wood varieties are cut, treated and aligned in a way only our factory knows. Its strength to weight ratio has scientists baffled.
Shred ready
Boards come factory-tuned with two Scotch wax runs and a 90°/0° edge setup, leaving all options open for customizing your own edge angles.
Zero 90 Carbon
Amplid’s Zero 90 Carbon layup addresses a critical blind spot: 90° flex. By integrating carbon rovings along this axis across the entire board, it enhances edge control and power transfer while reducing weight. The result? Precision, stability, and unmatched performance.
Sintered Base
Amplid’s ultra-high density sintered base goes like shit-off-a-shovel in all snow conditions. It is extremely hard and therefore more resistant to damage.
Thick Cut
Thick Cut Cores feature a thicker profile in the tip and tail to suit a wider range of rider physiques, reduce vibrations, increase targeted stiffness, and enhance float, control, and stability in deep snow.
