Smiley Tech:

Drake own way of intending reverse camber over the board. Smiley concept offers a reverse free camber shape creating
a constant arch from tip to tail which come 6mm raised compare to a regular snowboard. Boards ride smother, minimizing edge catching on take offs and landings, allowing great nose and tail presses and taking sensation to a whole new level.
Bringing back the fun and skateboard feeling to the snowboards! When it’s applied to a freeride oriented model like the battle it give an outstanding gliding and lift in soft and deep snow.

Struc Turn:

Patented stone-grind base finish that we proudly offer on most of our Drake boards. A Structurn base glides much faster and further than an ordinary, unstructured board. Like dimples on a golf ball, a Structurn base has a series of elongated grooves that break down the friction between board and snow for improved results. The base is drastically different in wet or slushy condition where Structurn has the advantage in riding further and faster than other bases. It works great in all snow conditions.

Detuned Edges:

Our freestyle – jibbing boards come straight from the factory with pre-detuned edges on tip and tail. This prevents the snowboard from catching edges, and gives an extra buttery feeling while riding. If you’re going to hit boxes, rails, or walls, this is the perfect feature for you!
