Sapient PNB1 2007 Snowboard
This is seriously one of the best boards you will ever
ride. Period. It is labeled as a Freestyle board with
its True Twin shape, centered flex and stance, but man
does this board work well for the all-mountain freerider
as well. The PNB1 is packed full of all the most
advanced materials available, and has earned accolades
as one of the best freestyle boards in the market today!
Category:
Premium Freestyle
Premium
Series
Overall the stiffest and snappiest boards we offer.
Snowboards in this category feature a combination of
Carbon and Kevlar fibers which work in conjunction with
one another for the ultimate in snap and with enough
dampening to provide a ride that is very powerful yet
smooth and controllable. The FABFusion3 core (PNB2 and
PNB3) is our lightest core design to date but sacrifices
nothing in strength or durability. The ABFusion3 (PNB1)
core is light, but more importantly offers unique memory
retention and has been built up in the edge areas to
give you what could possibly be one of the best
freestyle rides ever. The Premium Performance category
features the PNB1; a high-end freestyle board built
tough for the park and pipe, the PNB2 a high-end
freeride board meant to go everywhere and our new
women's premium freeride model the PNB3. This category
is for the 50+ day a year rider who needs the ultimate
in performance.
Freestyle:
Designed for the Technical Freestyler. Utilizing a new
“Centered” progressive/transitional sidecut technology,
our freestyle boards also have a slightly higher and
longer tip for powder floatation. A centered stance and
flex make it easy to ride forwards or switch. Our
freestyle boards provide a skate/snappy feeling, ideal
for the park, pipe and rails. These boards feature an
aggressive sidecut for quick edge-to-edge performance
and a freestyle friendly base/edge bevel.

Board Shape:
True Twin
Base/Edge Bevel:
2o
Sidecut:
Transitional
Our sidecut radius is a segment of two circles
(transitional). They work in harmony with our core
profile for balanced performance and progressive
pressure distribution. Hit these boards on a hard turn
and you'll see what we mean. During turn execution you
would
normally hit the first sidecut
radius, but turn the board hard at high speeds and you
gain more edge from the second radius.
Core:
ABFusion3:
Aspen core with strategically placed pre-bent birch
laminates (to re-inforce sidewalls). This core is
lightweight, super strong and built to take the abuse of
the core freestylers.
Laminate:
KCQ2: A toned
down version of the ever-popular KCQ4, KCQ2 is packed
with a few less carbon stringer and a lighter bottom
glass. Our Freestyle users wanted the stiffer board, but
not as stiff as the PNB2. They got what they asked for!
Base:
NTS with Struc Turn:
NanoTech with Struc Turn High Speed sintered 7500 base.
The fastest base in the industry (with StrucTurn).
Period. The IS7500 sintered base is mixed with graphite,
black carbon and Nano additives. The Nano additives take
in heat then expel the heat to melt the snow. This
creates less surface tension and more glide.
Sidewall Info:
ABS25:
25 degree ABS sidewalls increase power transfer over the
edge and helps protect the core. All ABS sidewalls are
polished to perfection.
SIZES:
153, 160
