The Shorty is our original surf shape. This is a real riders board with its bulletproof construction and timeless design language. It’s well known for being as fun on the groomers as in the backcountry. The nose has double alu-stringers that dramatically decreases vibrations giving the Shorty an unprecedented calm ride on hard pack. Add its PU-sidewalls and you have a very plush ride without losing pop. For the 2026 season we redesigned the 169 adding 10 mm to the waist, now accommodating sizes up to 12 US.
OUTLINE
The Shorty features the Diamond Tail, a hook-free design combined with a longer nose for the powder performance of a bigger board – Volume Economy Tech. The result is a forgiving and playful design with plenty of performance when you need it.
BOTTOM SHAPE
We build our snowboards with camber and Tip-Tail-Rocker. We distinguish between standard camber and low camber: with low camber, the centre of the board is slightly elevated and the contact points are further towards the centre. The Shorty has 6 mm camber and is one of the easiest boards to manoeuvre in our range.
CORE
At Stranda Snowboards we use ash wood and a minor part poplar in our cores. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar keeps the weight down. New for 2022 are alu-stringers and light weight paulownia in the nose for a smoother ride on groomers and in variable conditions. Choosing a premium material also allowed us to reduce the use of petroleum-based composites. We use a thin layer of bamboo as the top sheet, which adds to performance.
