The PUBLIC Research is our most freeride focused board to date. This directionally shaped board was designed with 8mm of taper allowing it to float effortlessly in powder and rail turns on hardpack, all while maintaining some of that signature freestyle DNA that PUBLIC is best known for.
The Research is filled to the gills with technology including our tried-and-true Poplar Light core, and a super-fast sintered base that offers an unmatched ride. This, paired with our all-new Carbon V and tip to tail carbon stringers make the Research the top pick for scientists snowboarders everywhere. Make the mountain your laboratory with the PUBLIC Research!
