Rome Stale Fish 2027

The Rome Stale Fish is the go-to deep powder board for Rome pro rider Stale Sandbech. Stay above the surface with ease thanks to the 3D shaping in the nose, wide waist width with taper, and directional camber profile, all combining to give you a stable and surfy surface with plenty of power and stability for charging at speed. Surf the powder, carve the groomers, and ride hard like Stale does on the Stale Fish. 

Board Type: Freeride-Powder

Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders.

Powder snowboards are designed for deep snow. Generally these boards feature a directional shape with a tapered tail for better float and ease of riding.

Flex: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

Ability Level: Advanced

Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.

Shape: Tapered Directional

A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions.

Camber Type: Free The Ride Camber

This All Mountain designed camber features a rockered nose, flat under the front foot, and positive camber in the tail.

Width: Standard

Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

Sidecut: Bi-Radial Sidecut

By combining a wider radius in the tail with a small, tighter one in the nose, the Bi-Radial Sidecut creates an easier turn initiation when beginning your turn and more acceleration coming through the turn.

Inserts: 2x4 Inserts

These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.

Board Construction

Laminate: Triax Upper Glass, Biax Lower Glass, Single Directional Carbon HotRod

Triaxial Fiberglass that runs in three different angles above the core for torsional rigidity and adds extra snap to the board.

Biaxial Fiberglass laid at two different angles below the core that offers a more torsionally playful board that is easier to press.

A single responsive and poppy Carbon HotRod in the nose of the board for stability at speed and while turning.

Core: Pop Core

The Pop Core offers versatile and durable construction that is made of alternating 20mm wide Poplar and Paulownia wood strips.

Sidewall: Directional Flax Walls

Flax, a natural and lightweight material, enhances impact absorption or adds rigidity to strengthen boards. I-beam-shaped reinforcements are placed between the core and sidewall for stability and in directional boards, they reinforce the nose for added power and control on steep, all-mountain terrain.

Base: SinterStrong Base

A low maintenance sintered base that is extremely versatile and fast.

Additional Features:

• Directional Diamond 3D

By having a wide, flat section in the middle of the board and then a 3D curve tapering past the contact points in the nose you get a stable ride while riding flat, turns easier, and disperses powder with ease.
