The PUBLIC Research is our most freeride focused board to date. This directionally shaped board was designed with 8mm of taper allowing it to float effortlessly in powder and rail turns on hardpack, all while maintaining some of that signature freestyle DNA that PUBLIC is best known for.
The Research is filled to the gills with technology including our tried-and-true Poplar Light core, and a super-fast sintered base that offers an unmatched ride. This, paired with our all-new Carbon V and tip to tail carbon stringers make the Research the top pick for scientists snowboarders everywhere. Make the mountain your laboratory with the PUBLIC Research!
MOUNTAIN ALERT CAMBER
A directional version of our Alert Camber, built for edge hold, control, and pop. The tip and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.
CARBON V
Carbon stringers are strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased response from the binding to the contact point. This gives the board endless snap in and out of turns and an overall increase in pop.
URETHANE SIDEWALLS
Urethane sidewalls are used in all PUBLIC boards for their superior dampening properties compared to the industry standard ABS and P-tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are more durable against impact on rocks or rails to prevent your board from delaminating when you get caught slippin’ in the park or backcountry.
CARBON STRINGERS
A 20mm wide carbon fiber stringer running tip to tail to increase overall pop and response without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot. Carbon stringer is the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.
POPLAR LIGHT CORE
A premium version of our tried and true Poplar core. We’ve strategically placed super lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core to reduce weight but maintain a snappy feel. Strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks at the binding line and increase insert retention.
