SIA 2010

The 2009-2010 snowboard season isn't even over yet and people are already going crazy for next season's gear...and frankly I don't blame them. The SIA trade show in Denver lived up to the hype by showcasing 2010-2012 season snowboards, boots, bindings, outerwear, goggles, gloves, and anything else the mind can dream up.

Without further ado, I give to you anything and everything that I could get my hands on concerning the trade show. Kick back, relax, and start saving money because after you see what you're going to be rocking next year you'll be itching to start your summer job.

Hopefully soon we'll have some more gear to look at. Right now, many brands aren't showing their entire lines. As soon as they are available they will be here!

Some stuff to look out for:
-DC has upgraded their entire board line this year. From what I hear the 2011 boards should be super lightweight and a lot more durable than last year. They also did a cool collaboration with Neff Headwear to make a DC x Neff colab board. It is the board Torstein Horgmo has been riding a lot this year so you know it's legit! I'm not sure if it will be available to the public though.
-Lib Tech and Never Summer are on to something! Many companies are starting to make boards with not only reverse camber, but with reverse camber and camber. The same tech on C2 power banana from Lib Tech is being used on a bunch of different boards this year. Magnetraction is also big, Capita is taking some ideas from there, as are many other brands, by introducing contact points on the board between the feet.

Happy Shredding!! Enjoy it while it lasts!!
