ABOUT TUNING
To maximize the board’s performance and enjoy a safe and satisfying ride, it is necessary to tune both the edges and base, and apply wax. We strongly recommend starting with our BASIC TUNE option to bring out the board’s fundamental performance.

The DRIFTER is a classic-modern hybrid board that's born by fusing the outline of a modern freeride board from the early 80s and Taro Tamai's original baseline. The float and loose feel provided by its long nose and the flat camber combined with its 155 length, longest in The Snowsurf lineup. The Drifter is a fine-balanced freeride board with loaded with a classic riding feel.

FUNCTION
FLAT CAMBER
When riding in powder on traditional cambered boards, the nose drags snow due to its own camber system and eventually would sink into snow. To prevent it from nosediving, the rider is forced to lean back and turn only with the tail. This phenomena also happen in three dimensional terrain.
Like when making a non-gravity turn at the top of a wall, the traditional camber turns convex “against” the terrain, forcing the edge and the rail to go in a different direction than the targeted line. Once again, the rider is forced to lean back or turn using the edge, restricting the freedom of riding.
This restriction is silly to have on boards for complex terrain. This camber system came from the skiing know-how. We’ve adopted it and refined it to match our flat camber system in order to allow freer maneuverability in complex three-dimensional terrain. The weightless sensation when making a top-turn, and resistance-free riding, especially late in a turn, are the distinct characteristics of our flat camber system.
