The Natural is back with a new design by Lluis Figueres, a Catalan tattoo artist from Barcelona. Hugo wanted a change! After years of riding wood, he wanted a black board with a design between the feet, always with a spirit all his own. Once again, the Natural is a pure beauty made in Europe. It is the everyday board par excellence in classic camber! You can go to the park, be crazy there, you can carve but above all you can do powder without having to change boards. With its 2 cm set back on the back foot you can charge into the powder, do back country tricks, do side hits and have fun on the slopes. In short, you get the idea, it is a board that is close to what you already know if you like freestyle with a penchant for powder! We consider it a mature board for those who want to have fun everywhere without having a board that is too exclusive to powder. Hugo uses it everywhere, it is his only board. With the Natural, Hugo has climbed the FWT twice, he will try to climb back up this year on the Freeride World Tour with the Natural 7. With its Carbon X reinforcement from nose to tail you will have a board with response, playful & ultra reactive. Its top sheet is in biaxial fiber to accompany you on any terrain with complete peace of mind, the finish is in matte varnish to add a classy side to the design. We use a poplar core from FSC certified Polish forests, renowned for its quality in deformation, this wood is a sure value. The sole is a structured sole in IS7200. The best there is for this kind of board. The structure provides a much better glide than a sole that does not have one. To bind the whole we use a Bio resin because we always try to do our best to respect the planet. This is the reason why we continue to manufacture it in the best European factory. The Natural 7 has a flex of 8/10 because this kind of board needs a little rigidity. His practice deserves this flex, that is indisputable.

What is meant by flex?

This is the way a board tends to twist. At Stone we evaluate it from 0 to 10. The stiffer a board is, the more it is designed to send & less forgive. Conversely, the softer a board is, the less responsive it will be when relaunching but will forgive you certain mistakes. Let's explain: at the start, the softer a board is, the more over the sessions the board will become a real uncooked sausage. At Stone we consider that riding a board that is a little stiff at the start is really optimal. Why? The core of a board is always made over the days, weeks, months that you ride your board. At Stone, a Flex 7 is considered a good alternative to go everywhere. We will then gravitate between 6 & 8 to lean more or less towards a particular desire as regards the flex.

Flex 8: attributed to freeride snowboards to have a strong rebound and a grip. Sometimes, the stiffer it is, the less forgiving it is, you have to be strong on your legs. In splitboard, this flex is also for fans of boards that do not move in the axis or in conversions. The flex is always done by the rider.

FREERIDE

What's better than practicing your sport freely? Going off the beaten track, jumping any bump, enjoying the powder in all its forms! Freeriding is the very essence of snowboarding. To do this, it is essential to find out about the risks presented by the riding area, necessary to know the weather and wise to have the right board. Generally less centered on its inserts with sometimes a typical shape, the freeride snowboard is set back on the back leg (set back). Why? The more you are on the back leg, the less you will force & the more you will float in the powder. You can recenter your bindings by moving them from insert to insert but if you don't do it you will not be hindered on the slope to make a turn or any curves.

ALL MOUNTAIN

It's a bit like freestyle with a freeride accent. A more experienced rider will take an all mountain snowboard to go everywhere. Both on the slopes and in the powder or in a snowpark. If we have the budget, we will definitely have one board per practice. It's always better, now if we don't want to rack our brains, then we will choose this program to do everything. Generally with a slight set back on the back foot of a few centimeters, we will also notice that the flex is often a little stiffer, which is a little less forgiving than a freestyle board. When we have to send it on the slopes or in variable snow, it will hold better. This is what differentiates a freestyle board from an all mountain. Our Team rider Hugo Serra rides an all mountain in all circumstances. This is the kind of board he rode on the Freeride World Tour with. Chaining beautiful curves then jumping rock bars & doing a little flat... if that's what you're looking for then the all mountain board is the versatile board par excellence.
