Palmer Snowboarding Gear 2007 - 2008 Overview
When Palmer Snowboards was founded by Shaun Palmer in 1995 it distinguished itself by building its own manufacturing facility near Bischofshofen, Austria in the famous area of Salzburg, where most the best ski and snowboard manufacturers are located. Consequently, Palmer as a young enterprise, was able to offer around 40 years of production and R & D experience of our workforce.
In order to deliver the world's finest boards, Palmer's engineers developed unconventional manufacturing methods for the factory. As a result, Palmer has introduced many innovations to snowboarding, including but not limited to:
- Three-dimensional construction milled into the board's wood core, which saves on weight, puts strength where it's needed and directs more power to the edges.
- Honeycomb core made of Kevlar, which is ten times lighter than wood and has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any snowboard.
- Cap-sidewall construction, which combines the advantages of the two most common board constructions.Though more expensive to produce, this construction pays off with the highest performance and durability and good looks.
- Titanium, which offers the unique racing features of high power, dynamic rebound and great stability at high speed.
- The Power Link system, an interface between the board and the bindings that increases leverage over the edges of the board. This system also gives "big-footers" a better option than wide boards.
- FLF and Klothoid Shape design which makes riding easier, more fun, and feels like flying.
Platinum
100% Carbon
The Platinum is the benchmark of Palmer technology, innovation, playful performance and style. Exclusive 100% carbon construction that delivers the ultimate in lightweight performance. Our engineers have developed a unique flex with the benefits of carbon: rocket-fueled rebounds, powerful acceleration and dampening that create the best riding experience. The new revolutionary FLF Klothoid shape, Palmer full woodcore and stone ground 7200 graphite base creates a very fast and powerful, yet smooth and easy-handling ride.
For any rider who can afford it. The first board in the world that provides full-blown power riding without compromising effortless handling and total control.
Honeycomb
Vaporizes the Competition
The New Honeycomb 4 is the lightest high-performance snowboard on the planet and vaporizes the competition with unlimited uses. Honeycomb technology was introduced by Palmer in 1997. Combining super light tip-to-tail Nomex™ Honeycomb core with woodcore reinforcements and prepreg laminates reduces weight and ensures max performance. Nomex™ Honeycomb is filled with 99% air and is not affected by moisture like aluminum cores. The new FLF Klothoid shape in a new cap-sidewall construction creates a super light, playful, smooth, and responsive ride. The Peep-Show topsheet reveals tip-to-tail carbon fiber strips that add energy and rebound, plus a 7200 graphite base adds speed.
For the rider who demands the ultimate lightweight tool.
