The design goal in revising the Solution for 2008 was the same as it was back in 2003 at the start of it all-create a board for the dishwasher or pizza delivery guy who the rides the whole mountain powerfully and creatively. Based on the premise shape is free, the Solution achieves its advanced rider personality through the control of Geometrics and the responsive influence of 45-degree fibers in the laminate.

Designed for the discriminating rider who doesn't discriminate, the Anthem understands the fun of snowboarding. It understands the addictive fun of floating in pow. It understands the progressive fun of hot-lapping the park and pipe. And it understands the pure fun of simply turning a snowboard. For 2008, it understands all of this better-a revamped shape and a high-pop, lightweight core matrix increase comfort on landings while still delivering control at high speeds.

One of the greatest things about snowboard design is that the flex and shape that pro riders want for the constant progression off jumps and on rails is the same flex and shape that works great for riders who just get out ten days a year to surf the hill. A winner of numerous magazine tests, the Vinyl lays down the subtle feel and control that Marie-France wants for filming video parts, and the smooth flow from one turn to the next that everyday riders want for having fun.
