This is a real riders board with its bulletproof construction and timeless design language. It’s well known for being as fun on the groomers as in the backcountry. The nose has double alu-stringers that dramatically decreases vibrations giving the Shorty an unprecedented calm ride on hard pack. Add it’s PU-sidewalls and you have a very plush ride without loosing pop. For the 2026 season we redesigned the 169 adding 10 mm to the waist, now accommodating sizes up to 12 US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutline\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shorty features the Diamond Tail, a hook-free design combined with a longer nose for the powder performance of a bigger board – Volume Economy Tech. The result is a forgiving and playful design with plenty of performance when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe build our snowboards with camber and Tip-Tail-Rocker. We distinguish between standard camber and low camber: with low camber, the centre of the board is slightly elevated and the contact points are further towards the centre. The Shorty has 6 mm camber and is one of the easiest boards to manoeuvre in our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Stranda Snowboards we use ash wood and a minor part poplar in our cores. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar keeps the weight down. New for 2022 is alu-stringers and light weight paulownia in the nose for a smoother ride on groomers and in varible conditions. Choosing a premium material also allowed us to reduce the use of petroleum-based composites. We use a thin layer of bamboo as the topsheet, which adds to performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stranda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54911856869660,"sku":"Snowboard - SS044","price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2063\/6700\/files\/5372151473.jpg?v=1783358350","url":"https:\/\/karakoram.com\/products\/stranda-snowboards-shorty-159-26-27","provider":"Karakoram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
