Vita series (womens)

The VITA SERIES has a board for every female rider. You can choose between the VITA PARK, VITA ROCKER or the VITA WAVELENGTH. These boards are built with the same high-end ingredients as their series counterparts, but these boards have geometry scaled to better fit a female rider.
This year’s graphic spans all three VITAs with a downpour of color—but don’t worry. You’re safe under the Signal umbrella.

  • Magnum ABS sidewalls
  • Sintered bases on all models
  • “Standard Profile” core
  • Iso-Sub 4160 top material provides a softer torsion flex
  • The alternating grain structure of the Poplar core provides maximum strength and maximum pop
  • Signal’s own Three-Stage Park Rocker’s unique design: Stage One is continuous contact.
  • This creates a level board through the bindings. It allows you to hold an edge without catching one. Stage One acts as a small board when you stand flat over this section. Stage Two rolls up five degrees into Stage Three, the ‘flat spot’. Stage Two creates a pivot point when transferring from the level— or flat—area between the bindings and the ‘flat spot’ of Stage Three.
  • Stage Two also acts as a secondary contact point when you are carving
  • Triaxial glass on the top of the core and biaxial glass on the bottom of the core for pop and strength
  • Rock On!

 

Park series 

These boards are a favorite year after year because they have a soft flex, are durable and can handle anything you get yourself into. From camber to flat, wide waist to narrow, there is a PARK board here for everyone. Inspired from ETT, this year’s graphic has cassette tape under the topsheet — like the Boombox episode!

  • Built for today’s terrain parks and city streets— Built to take a beating
  • Magnum ABS sidewalls
  • Sintered bases on all models
  • “Park Profile” core, which is thinner on the nose and tail but has a standard thickness between your feet
  • The alternating grain structure of the Poplar core provides maximum strength and maximum pop
  • Lightweight triaxial glass on the top and bottom of the core gives the Park a soft but more controlled flex
  • Nylon 8210 top material provides a softer torsional flex
  • Carbon stringers from tip to tail for added pop and strength

 

Rocker series

Rocker or Rocker Light, you choose your degree of lift, size and proportion from this line of ROCKERS. This year’s graphic combines the colors of our ROCKER tradition and adds the style from our ETT Dartboard episode!

  • Signal’s own Three-Stage Park Rocker’s unique design: Stage One is continuous contact.
  • This creates a level board through the bindings. It allows you to hold an edge without catching one. Stage One acts as a small board when you stand flat over this section. Stage Two rolls up five or ten ( depending on which Rocker ) degrees into Stage Three, the ‘flat spot’. Stage Two creates a pivot point when transferring from the level— or flat—area between the bindings and the ‘flat spot’ of Stage Three. Stage Two also acts as a secondary contact point when you are carving
  • “Standard Profile” Poplar core, which is thicker between the feet and tapers out as it reaches the nose and tail. There is no need for extra tapering as the nose and tail are already in the air because of the Rocker that starts at your feet
  • Matte Nylon 8210 top for softer torsion flex
  • Durasurf sintered base
  • Triaxial glass top and biaxial glass on the bottom of the core • Carbon stringer tip to tail
  • Rock on!

 

Wavelength/Omni series

This hybrid can take you from the park to the powder.
It combines camber between your feet with Rocker on the tip and tail. This year's Omni graphic is taken straight from the factory floor. Our graphics department is full of silkscreen inks and this is a photo of our mixing table. Ride the Wavelength!

  • All things to all mountain riders! Rocker and camber blended together create Wavelength technology
  • Camber between your feet
  • Five degree Rocker from your feet out to the tip and tail
  • Rocker keeps your nose up in powder while the camber provides edge control while you carve.
  • The transition point provides an additional contact point that engages even before the effective edge
  • Less surface area on the snow equals a faster board!
  • Directional and a twin board. It’s directional in the sense that the nose is longer than the tail. Twin in the sense that the tip and tail widths are identical
  • Radial sidecut meets at the center of the board
  • Poplar core with “Standard Profile”
  • Biaxial glass on the bottom of the core and triaxial glass on the top
  • Durasurf sintered base material
  • Iso-Sub 4160 tops
  • Carbon torsion bars

 

OG series

The Original Series always carries the creative torch. Hand painted top sheets and Flotsam and Jetsam bases make this series one of a kind. The OG series is our most progressive flex pattern and built for high speeds, big air or the more advanced rider.  At one time, people told us we were crazy to think that we could run a company the way we wanted. Some even said, “When pigs fly!” Well, this year’s graphic is just for those who doubted the possibilities.

 

  • All-mountain freestyle board
  • Lightweight, directional, and torsionally responsive
  • Triaxial glass on the top and biaxial glass on the bottom of the core
  • Stance options for each OG are set back one centimeter
  • Dual independent sidecut is centered off the inserts and meets at the waist
  • We hand paint each OG top sheet. No two are the same
  • Flotsam and Jetsam Bases. We utilize reconstituted base material for new manufacture
  • One-of-a-kind with many different base combinations
  • Twin shape
  • Sintered base material
  • Poplar core with “Mountain Profile” which means that the core is tapered between your feet for easier edge control
  • Nylon 8210 Top sheets
  • Available in either Camber or Flat Technology

 

 

Epic series: Backcountry

New for the 2012-13 season is the EPIC! This twist on an old school powder board is modernized by adding wavelength technology. The topsheet is made with a hand-stained wood laminate like our ETT Netherlands and Kidwell episodes. And to make it even more epic, we’ve added the split board as yet another option. Powder has never looked so good!

 

  • All things to all mountain riders! Rocker and camber blended together create Wavelength technology
  • Camber between your feet
  • Five degree Rocker from your feet out to the tip and tail
  • Rocker keeps your nose up in powder while the camber provides edge control while you carve
  • The transition point provides an additional contact point that engages even before the edge

  • Old school powder shape, directional stance
  • Directional sidecut
  • Poplar cores with “Standard Profile”
  • Biaxial glass top and bottom
  • Durasurf sintered base material
  • Laminate maple topsheet not only adds a different look and feel to the board, it also adds tip to tail strength and replaces any need for carbon stringers
  • Standard or Split options
