09 Flow Snowboard Solitude 164


No Chute Too Deep No Pow Too Deep!

Re-engineered to do all the work for you - just point the Solitude and enjoy the ride. This totally new shape is super bouyant in the ultimate powder conditions, yet has a beefy tail that stays solid in steep hard-packed terrain. New Whiskey Double Malt increases grip, dampens vibrations while allowing extra pop through its unique shape. A dream board years in the making, the Solitude will cut through ice with its Tri-Icecut, power hard off the tail, cruise switch and is smooth as a caddy with the handling of a Porsche.

Directional All Mountain

Reflex core: Our lightest and most responsive core features the highest strength weight wood-construction ratios for our boards. Reflex cores are profiled to maximize response and power. High-density poplar is located down the center to centralize the power off the tail for a more focused response.

Whiskey Double Malt, Titanium Alloy: The all-new Flow Whiskey Double Malt design is a combination of the Whiskey Royale and Whiskey X construction. Built using four titanal forks that are similar to the Whiskey X, this design increases torsion flex while keeping all the benefits of the titanal forks. This new construction effectively directs rider energy to the board's key control points. It also allows the board to twist easier between the feet, creating powerful turn initiation and phenomenal edge hold whether in super tight chutes or steep faces.

Tri-Icecut: The combination of three different theories push the envelope of what our freeride boards can do. The shape uses multiple radii for aggressive turn initiation and a tight radius between the feet that allows you to finish hard off the tail. A generous blend-zone at the nose/tail and the feet smooths the ride for a non-hooky feel that adds extra grip on the ice.

10 to 15mm taper

Optix NHS Sintered: The most durable base on the market, the Optix 4000 Sintered is prefused with high-grade waxes that translates to greater top-end speed. By adding nano silica particles to the crystal sintered base, a Nano High Speed base is the result. Combined with the 3-D Structurn finish our boards are lightning fast both in acceleration and top-end speed.

3-D Structurn: The first three dimensional base finish that allows for a deeper structurn pattern in the middle that fades to a clean, smooth finish just within the edge. Structurn is the most advanced finish on the market and Flow is one of the only companies in the world that utilizes this cutting edge technology. The smooth base finish along the edge also allows for increased edge speed by minimizing base burn. Structurn is made up by strategically spaced elliptical dimples that break up suction from the thin water layer that is formed while riding between the board and snow. The spacing of the dimples not only allows the board to maneuver easily, it also makes for a faster base in dry, hard snow due to the spacing of the dimples. Having a smooth base close to the edge decreases friction in colder snow conditions since suction does not happen along the edge.

Stainless Steel Treated Edges: These edges receive an additional stainless steel treatment for an edge that is harder and more durable than your average board edge and also has a treatment to fight off rust.
