Academy Snowboards Propaganda Snowboard - 2011

Academy Snowboards Propaganda Snowboard - 2011 BCS

Item # ACD0021

The Academy Propaganda Snowboard delivers a poppy yet pressable ride that's tuned for slaying parks and natural hits. And best of all, it won't tap out your season-pass fund for next season. The WDT Hybrid core combines natural wood and lightweight synthetic materials for tons of strength with less weight and breakdown over time. Carbon reinforcements add pop and edge control for high-speed stability.

Bottom Line:

Believe the hype.

I demoed this board for a weekend last year and it was hard to go back to my regular board afterwards. The Propaganda was super easy to ride and butter on, and it had super fun pop, way more that i expected from a soft/jibby stick. I rode it all over the mountain and park and it stepped up on every feature. i could toss it up on a rail and do lipslides with no worries about hanging up or catching an edge. and it handled business on the jumps too. Super awesome, all around!
