By now we should have all accepted that this is Stale’s world, we’re just living in it. And he’s back once again with a full line-up of boards for every eventuality. But no matter how big your quiver and how many niches you’re prepared for, everyone needs a go-to daily driver and Stale’s Crewzer is just that.

“If you’re an intermediate or above rider who’s interested in freestyle but wants a board that can still hold its own outside of the park then this is a great option”

Who Is The Rome Stale Crewzer For?

If you’re an intermediate or above rider who’s interested in freestyle but wants a board that can still hold its own outside of the park then this is a great option.

When you’re in the park, that directional twin shape will keep you comfortable taking off and landing switch, there’s camber underfoot to load up for pop and enough flex to enjoy some presses. But outside of the park you’ll still find that it has enough response for speedy laps on the piste and good float in powder.

Shape, Profile and Sidecut

The directional twin shape on the Stale Crewzer is a clever one, you won’t notice any difference riding switch in your day-to-day park laps as the profile and flex underfoot are mirrored front to back.

But should you get an unexpected dump of fresh pow and feel the need to head off into the softer stuff (who wouldn’t) then that blunted tail and slightly longer nose will help to provide a little more float for an easier ride.

Rome’s reliable Fusion Camber creates the perfect blend of response, forgiveness and lift. In the centre of the board you’ll find traditional camber that blends into a small amount of rocker in the nose and tail.

This means you have plenty of camber to push against for aggressive turns and boosting sidehits, but a little more float in powder and forgiveness should you land a little sloppy thanks to the rocker.

Construction and Materials

Under that fresh as fuck lick of paint on the topsheet (honestly, the Stale collection has to be hands down some of the best looking boards this season) you’ll find some impact plates to take the sting out of slappy landings and dampen out chatter when your blasting through any crud.

The PopCore alternates 20mm strips of Poplar and Paulownia wood for a durable and reactive core that can take on anything the mountain throws at it. Milled through this core are two Carbon HotRods that sit in the nose and tail respectively. These help to add a little more pop to the board without making it overly stiff so that you can still get your press on.

In terms of flex you’re looking at a 6 out of 10, so it’s definitely a responsive board but you can still crank a nice big press if you want to. The Biax & Triax fibreglass that sandwich the PopCore help here by controlling the torsional flex in such a way that you still get a snappy, playful feel when you’re trying to get airborne, but there is enough flex left that you can get uber playful on the ground too.

Roundup

This board speaks for itself, oozing as much style as its namesake & designed to be his daily board for cruising around (get it?) and launching off anything he damn well pleases, put simply the Rome Crewzer is fun incarnate.

Strap in for the ride and find everything you need to make the mountain your own right there under your feet, it’s just down to you to channel those creative juices. Big spin? Butter? Boosting to the moon off an unassuming sidehit? The world’s your bloody oyster.
