The Biaxial Control Jacket is a tight glass laminate weave within our snowboards that optimises control. The Control jacket, well, puts you in control.

Camba is Head’s traditional camber profile. The board is convex from the tip and tail contact points to an apex in the center of the board, which delivers optimum power transfer for pop and intense manouverability and grip.

The Carbon and Kevlar stringers span the area between contact points and generate pop and tempered riding agility respectively. Lively yet smooth.

Cross Carbon inserts convey quick edge-to-edge response.

Our Directional Twin boards are not only precision all-mountain riding tools, they are equally adept in the park and pipe.

Tip: 30mm from the contact point, 0,6mm x 45°
Tail: 20mm from the contact point, 0,6mm x 45° (identical on twintips)

Head extruded bases are fast and durable as well as easy to maintain.

Flocka delivers the best of both worlds, with the precision and predictability of camber and the playfulness of and “catch-free” ride of rocker. In short Flocka has a broken in feel but with the solid pop of a new stick.

The Flocka Twin is a freestyle beast, combining the precision of true camber with the broken in feel of rocker. In short it makes freestyling fun and accessible.

Intellifibers are piezoelectric fibers that absorb energy from edge-to-edge turns and stiffen up to give more control and power to the board.

KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) is a system we’ve adapted straight from Formula 1 to harvest kinetic energy produced during edge-to-edge transferred to electric energy via piezoelectric fibres and stored in the KERS chip. This is then fed it back to you when you ollie or power carve. The upshot is you’ll be fired out of turns and get insane pop off transitions.

Head freeride boards open up the backcountry for your riding pleasure. The directional shape is built for stability, speed and lift in the powder but can be comfortably ridden switch out of those backcountry back fives.

Rocka is Head’s easy-riding, “catch-free” concave camber profile, ideal for smooth presses and butters, lift in the pow and an effortless slide in the streets or on the mountain.

Our sintered bases feature high wax absorption and a dense molecular structure for unbeatable durability and ease of maintenance.

Head’s Snake profile moves the camber to the tail of the board. This unique camber design means that as soon as you strap in the nose of the board is pushed upwards for superior float in powder. The Snake also has a high tail for riding switch.

Head’s Twins are built for the trickster whose domain extends from pipe and park kickers and rails to the metal and concrete of the street. Switch tricks and fakie landings have never been so easy.

Made using poplar, this is engineered to be the lightest, strongest wood core available and to deliver maximum responsiveness.

The Select Core is made from handpicked full-length poplar stringers – lively and long-lasting.
