In the world of snowboarding, precision matters. Every snowboard that leaves our workshop is designed to meet the highest standards of performance, durability, and craftsmanship. But sometimes, a board doesn’t quite meet our strict cosmetic quality standards - not because of any structural or performance flaws, but due to minor aesthetic imperfections...

If you’re like most snowboarders, the biggest challenge isn’t perfecting your carves or stomping your spins - it’s finding the time to ride. When we asked fellow snowboarders about their goals, the most common response wasn’t “land a backflip” or “ride Alaska.” It was simply: “snowboard more.”

"This board simply has the best chatter absorbtion..." check out The Good Ride's video review on the Souly Grail!

"A powerful, chatter absorbing, damp poppy front foot friendly ride." - Watch the full review by the guys at "The Good Ride" right here...

This freeride board with a wider width remains responsive and lively underfoot. In addition to its carving performance, it has a playful note thanks to a good pop. The Killswitch's shape is generous and modern, yet solid and capable of taking on terrain and speed. The support starts from the centre and is well balanced, then you can easily work on the flex, making it both manoeuvrable and precise.

Amplid offers a wide range of top-of-the-range freeriders. Added this year, it's a more affordable model. However, the philosophy remains the same as that of the Souly grail and Soulmate: fluid rounding in turns and fun, effective short supports. Technically more accessible, it can be controlled from the centre with comfort and balance. Short, the fish tail bends easily, offering manoeuvrability and liveliness in powder. Its advantage is its liveliness when changing edge and in small turns, complemented by comfort on all types of snow.

The Twin version adds a firmer flex to its compact but progressive tips, providing support and stability. We like the balance between its forgiving, easy ride that lets you do just about anything and its powerful, fast support.

The guys at Splitboards.eu went out for a ride on our brandnew Milligram - and this is their impression...

The Singular has become the new all-round freeride reference in the range, with its smooth, fast and ultra-precise handling. It offers total control at all speeds and on all types of snow. This shape, with its solidity and lift under the front foot, provides safety in all terrain and a wide range of versatility, from comfortable, flowing turns to dynamic control in small bends.

This freeride shape, with its short heel and rocker front, is a little more oriented towards on-track versatility than the Surfari. We take advantage of the agility of a small swallow tail, to drift onto a fairly modern approach, oriented towards solid support and efficient carving. Manoeuvrable underfoot, it immediately reveals itself to be incisive, seeking to get into a carved turn fairly quickly.

The Soulmate is in keeping with Amplid's freeride philosophy, with its directional shape and focus on progressiveness and stability, but with a softer centred flex. The feel in powder is top-notch. Long strides are fluid, and you want to go fast and launch with your heel. The transitions from one edge to the next are pleasant. On hard snow, it doesn't have the grip of the top-of-the-range models, so it's best suited to all-terrain riding.

The flex is slightly stiff but evenly distributed, offering a blend of firmness and a hint of softness that gives excellent snow feel. This Milligram remains firm enough to inspire total confidence on edge, whether climbing or descending through tight terrain, while still maintaining playability for those with a solid level of experience. It performs well in wide, high-speed turns, even on hard snow, and stays dynamic and nimble when navigating dense forests with limited visibility or weaving through tight fir trees.

When you get off the slopes, you've got a powerful, precise riding machine that feels fast, a hard snow trafolle swallower. In powder, it's easy to ride, pivots well when you play with the tail, loses its slightly serious side, feels nimble, gets out of the way easily, you're well balanced and can concentrate while looking far ahead.

As the title suggests, the movie is about snowboard sessions right in their proper backyards. With Marc based in Pustertal, Thomas in Innsbruck, and Mario in Zillertal, the film takes you on a short journey through their local playgrounds and mountain ranges. Together with filmmakers Daniel Niederkofler and Mario Käppeli, they not only covered a mad amount of vertical meters but also enjoyed a season filled with powder, sunshine, and good times! Expect plenty of splitboard and backcountry action.

Generally riding as fast and hard as possible in natural terrain. Big, long, high speed turns. Powder, chunder, groomers, and natural airs. If a board is really surfy, I can be persuaded to slow down and spend some time slashing around. Not spending much time in the park.

In an age dominated by pixels and screens, there's something undeniably magical about capturing snowboarding on real film. Every frame tells a raw, unfiltered story, full of texture, imperfections, and authenticity. No instant retakes, no filters—just pure, organic moments in the mountains.

Performance-wise, this one is perhaps better at multi-tasking than the average dad. Its powder prowess is made clear in the shape alone, but carving on hard-pack comes naturally too. It’s certainly not a freestyle board, and even some other all-mountain models (including the Amplid Singular, more on which below) may be a better pick for those who truly want to keep all options open.

Ask any splitboarder what would make their life easier, and the answer will usually be the same: a lighter setup for the way up that still rips on the way down. Each year, tons of work goes into cracking this particular nut, but few have managed it quite like the Amplid Milligram.

The Amplid Singular represents Amplid's efforts to crack the final frontier in snowboard design: the perfect all-mountain snowboard.
