THE PENTAQUARK
A reward for the risk-takers.

Currently not in stock. Please select other size.
The Pentaquark exists for seekers of the highest echelon of on-edge performance. Its carving-potency derives from its deceptively long effective-edge, a deep energized camber and its advanced construction. Approaching terminal velocity, you’ll be thankful for Antiphase, a proprietary Amplid tech, that keeps the Pentaquark civilised and precise.
Once mastered, unleashing the Pentaquark on freshly groomed corduroy is a euphoric experience, but taming this wild stallion is not for the faint-hearted.

The Pentaquark is one of three boards in Amplid's Centrifugal Collection, a brotherhood of boards designed for handling high speeds and maximizing the enjoyment that comes from simply turning a snowboard.

Full Camber
Burly man-camber, designed for maximum edge hold and explosive pop. Full Camber is best suited to high-end shreds where performance is paramount. It’s hard work to ride well, but being slingshot out of carves and launched high above the coping is all the reward you’ll ever need.
