The Switchblade is a double dropped freeride shape that is designed to give you a low, comfortable platform for exploring big hills as well as getting around town as quickly as possible. Medium concave and foot pockets at the drops give you the reference points you need to explore the limits of your freeriding, and the 9 ply maple construction keeps the board stiff and under control. The 38 is the smaller of the two sizes we offer, measuring 38" long by 10" wide for a slightly more nimble and agile ride than the 40.
