Amplid Kodama Splitboard

The Kodama has a very large surface area over its one hundred and fifty-six centimeters,
and if you translate its name from Japanese, you quickly find out what type of rider it was built for: “The spirit that lives in the forest”.

With most of the surface area towards the nose, it floats like a cork, while a stub tail allows for quick turns when surfing through the forest. The all-black base makes core-shot operation even easier. Transitions are now even faster:
new for all of our splitboards in 23-24 are holes at the tip and tail to make attaching the skins easier. Self-driving low-vis storm chasers are now even more fun.

• Directional Cruise Camber
  Early Rise Rocker for all-mountain domination. The softened dimensions of Cruise Camber make for a precise and lively ride, with significantly improved deep snow performance .
  On Amplid's directional snowboards, a touch of Early Rise is added to Cruise Camber to further enhance float.
  
  
• All-Terrain Tips
  A gentle kick radius and fuller tip outline improve flotation in deep snow without adding swing weight.
  
  
• CORE
  Omni Core
  A reliable low-density poplar wood core that is lightweight and durable with excellent flex memory.
• Basalt Suspension Strips
  Narrow strips of basalt weave run along the topsheet in a V-shape from the contact points to the boots for improved control.
  They dampen unwanted vibrations and ensure that the edge stays in contact with the snow.
  
  
• Biaxal Glass
  The use of biaxial glass in the construction of our shreds gives a mix of response and playfulness, while remaining very light.
  
  TOPSHEET
• Amplid hooks
  Forged aluminum board hooks, developed in-house by Amplid's R&D team, provide a reliable,
  light connection between the board halves and have a smooth matt black aesthetic.
  
  
• Impact Pads
  We have added multi-directional glass pads at the binding area to prevent dents
  caused by the sharp corners of metal splitboard binding bases.
  These pads increase durability without adding unwanted weight.
  
  
• Bolted Tip Clips
  Using threaded bolts instead of rivets makes replacing broken tip clips on the slopes easy,
  without the need for a garage full of tools.
  
  BASE
• Extruded 4 Base
  If we didn't tell you, you'd think this base was sintered.
  Amplid's amazing extruded base material offers excellent gliding properties and rarely needs waxing.
  
  SIDEWALL
• Split Tune
  Amplid rounds off the edges slightly at the tip and tail, outside the effective edge.
  Blunting these edges reduces chipping of the topsheet when touring.
