Why do I want a custom board?
Graphics
Have you ever fallen in love with the shape of a board, only to be sorely disappointed with the horrible graphics that were forced upon you? Well Team Eight ensures that you will never be ashamed of the canvas upon which you ride ever again (well, you can only blame yourself for your decision). Choose from blanks, to stock graphics, to artist series, to your very own graphic! You can even become famous and earn commission by sharing your graphic with the world!
Length
Whether you are dropping cliffs in the back country, jibbing rails in the park, or just making turns down the cruisers, having the right length board for you and your riding style is critical. Use the configurEIGHTor to optimize your board's length.
Width
The snowboard industry has mirrored the ski industry for sizing since its inception. There are different models available in a few different sizes. Fortunately for the ski industry, they do not have to deal with boot size problems. For snowboarders, boot size is almost the most critical factor for sizing a board. Too wide, and the board is difficult to turn, too narrow, and you will fall due to boot drag on every turn. The configurEIGHTor optimizes the width of your board based on boot size, and riding style. Compromising on board width is not an option!
Stance
Some companies offer few stance options. Others use as many inserts as they can. And others even offer crazy systems where your bindings can slide around in tracks offering infinite options. Team Eight eliminates all of these crazy options and allows you to use ONLY the inserts and stance options YOU want. If you know exactly what stance option you want, why bother ruining the core with metal inserts all over the place, just place that one option! If you don't know what stance you want, put some inserts in a sensible range, or let the configurEIGHTor decide.
Nose/Tail Shape
Some boards are not functional, and others just look plain ugly. Forget the graphics, just look at the board's shape. The nose and tail shapes are most likely the culprit of bad design, and lead to poor performance. Team Eight allows you to complete your design by modifying the nose and tail shapes to exactly what you want. Whether it is a high kick and bigger nose for riding powder, or a low profile blunt tip and tail for getting those spins around in the park, you can optimize the shape to your needs.
Sidecut
Do you ever find your board too twitchy, or not turn fast enough? Most likely the sidecut is not exactly what you want. The configurEIGHTor will help you find the right sidecut radius for your board and riding style.
