The shape of snowboards that exists only in head snowboards in the world.That is the "Double Camber Torsion" DCT shape. It has evolved further from the shape of "Camber + Flat + Camber".The flat part is set to a narrow waist by 2 mm on each side from the normal side curve. The shape of "Camber + Flat + Camber" is also used by other brands, but the shape that narrows the waist is the shape that only head snowboards uses.This is the biggest feature, and you can make the best use of this shape.
The concept of this shape is a "Torsion" twist.
The normal double camber shape has a rocker shape at the center.The rocker shape makes it difficult to twist the board.Therefore, by making it a flat shape and making the waist thinner, it is easier to create a twist (torsion) in the board.The board is operated by twisting the board, improving operability.To change the orientation of the board, start by twisting the board.Not only long turns but also short turn edges can be switched with a minimum of force.It's easy to create a short turn rhythm and you can get closer to your ideal turn.And the thin waist has another big effect.By narrowing the waist, the power point when making a turn (the point where the edge is particularly strong and grips the snow surface) is 2 points for normal camber, but it is 4 points.Increases edge grip and improves stability when turning.
For DCT shape
In the case of camber shape
By making the torsion easy to make, the spin of the ground trick and the movement to the continuous trick are smoothed, and the trick performance is improved.
When spinning with a kicker, it is easy to generate power in the spin direction and it is easy to create rotational force.
The photo is an ollie photo of a regular stance front side 360.The twist when spinning in the direction of the heel is firmly made.This twist is easy to make, so it is possible to make a sufficient rotational force.
When pressing with a ground trick or a jibing trick, you can press with the entire sole of your foot on the snow surface.The entire sole of the foot can catch the snow surface and jib items, which overwhelmingly enhances the sense of stability.
It has the above features.
We will explain the specific merits of the shape that maximizes the twist of the board by level.
<Beginner>
△ After standing on the slope at the heel side edge, it is easy to make a twist, so it is easy to turn the nose toward the valley side.
△ When dropping leaves, it is easy to point the board in the direction you want to go.
△ It is easy to make a twist when entering a turn, so it can be done naturally.
△ Since the ankle is easy to move, the risk of reverse edge can be reduced.
Optimal model
"DAY MAKER DCT" "SHINE DCT"
<Beginner>
△ Good operability using twisting, easy to enter the turn
△ After learning the turn, the stability during gliding is high (because the edge performance is high)
△ It is easy to switch between turns (because the board always twists and the edges are changed)
Optimal model
"DAY MAKER DCT" "SHINE DCT"
<Intermediate>
△ Easy to switch edges when practicing big and small turns
△ Intermediate level High edge performance on slopes and icy burns
△ There is enough edge performance to practice carving turns.
△ You can control the board with a minimum of force for small movements of short turns.
△ Equipped with operability for doing the first ground trick and stability of the press
Optimal model
"Hi-FIVE DC T.i" "HOPE" "Instinct i.KERS"
<Advanced>
△ High basic gliding ability to respond to carving, jumping and tricks in the high speed range
△ Easy to make jumps and ground tricks
△ Has sufficient edge performance in hard riding
Optimal model
"Instinct .i KERS" "HOPE"
