PUBLIC Snowboards Research Snowboard - 2026 One Color, 157cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Research feels locked in when I’m charging steep lines but still playful enough for side hits. The taper and Mountain Alert Camber float in powder without effort, and the carbon stringers give it snap and stability at speed. It’s one of those boards that makes me feel confident on deep days and still fun when it hasn’t snowed in weeks.""Who It’s ForAdvanced All-Mountain and Freeride Riders:Perfect for riders who want a responsive, directional board that balances float in powder with reliable edge hold on hardpack. The Research is ideal for those who mix big mountain terrain with freestyle flair and want a board that handles both. What It’s ForFreeride and All-Mountain Exploration:With an 8mm taper and directional Mountain Alert Camber profile, the Research is tuned for powder days, steep terrain, and carving powerful turns on groomers. The blend of freeride shaping with PUBLIC’s freestyle feel makes it versatile across big lines and natural features. Why We Like ItPower, Float, and Freestyle Spirit Together:We like the Research because it brings freeride performance without losing PUBLIC’s playful touch. The Carbon V stringers add responsiveness and drive, while the Poplar Light Core keeps it snappy and lightweight. Urethane sidewalls smooth out the ride, and the sintered base keeps you moving fast across any snowpack."
