The Antigravity runs a directional camber profile – camber under each foot for stable edge control, mild rocker in between for float – on a G Lite 1 core of FSC poplar and paulownia. The seven serrations machined into each edge are Mervin’s Magne-Traction, and they are the reason this board grips ice rather than washing out.
At 159cm with a tri-axial and bi-axial fiberglass laminate, the flex lands in the medium range, which is the setting that lets one board handle groomers in the morning and chop in the afternoon. The eco-sublimated co-extruded base holds wax well, so it keeps its speed across a full day rather than going slow by lunch.
Mervin Manufacturing builds Lib Tech and GNU boards in Sequim, Washington, on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and is one of the last snowboard makers that never moved production offshore. The factory runs on a zero-hazardous-waste process the company has built its identity around.
