Construction and Materials

Part of what gives the Shaman its unique look and feel is Borealis’ use of a 100% natural bamboo topsheet. As a material bamboo is lightweight and dynamic with a high tensile strength, making it ideal for a lively and snappy topsheet. As a bonus, the use of bamboo also cuts down on plastic usage in the Shaman by 40%. It’s a win-win.

Working with the bamboo topsheet to reduce chatter and soak up vibrations, you’ve got the new Element Core. It combines poplar with basalt beams for an explosive result, targeting specific areas to deliver a dynamic and powerful ride.

Instead of two layers of fibreglass, Borealis switch one out for their special Basaltech Natural Volcanic Fibre, not only is this a lightweight and high-performance alternative, but it also is a more sustainable option. Top it all off with a high-end sintered base and you’ve got a board that’s as rapid as it is responsive.
