The Resort Tiger
Made for all-terrain freeriding and all-mountain freestyle
The Descender is an adept directional freeride board designed to slash steeps, bomb lines, and stomp airs with authority. Featuring a medium-stiff flex, carbon torsion rods, and a rocker camber profile, the Descender is exceptionally stable and easy to control in rough snow and technical terrain. It’s the perfect board for anyone who likes to ride fast and shred playful natural terrain in any snow condition.
Ride the Descender in your traditional freeride board size. Size up for more float, size down for technical performance.
Performance Profile
Shape Features
Directional freeride shape with a blunted nose for blasting through variable snow and a full-length, slightly tapered tail for stomping airs and riding switch.
Rocker in the nose and tail for float and easy turn initiation, matched with 5mm camber underfoot. The high point of the camber profile extends past the back inserts for enhanced pop.
Features & Construction
Core
Lightweight, durable Paulownia and Poplar core with full-length Ash stringers through the inserts for a damp and responsive board feel.
Construction
Triax fiberglass with carbon torsion rods running under the core from the inserts to the wide points of the nose and tail for enhanced torsional stiffness and lightning-fast energy transfer.
Base
Ultra-fast Durasurf 4001 sintered base that offers supreme durability and exceptional glide in all snow conditions. High molecular weight for core-shot resistance and excellent wax absorption.
Topsheet / Sidewalls / Edges
Chip-resistant TPU plastic topsheet with a matte finish. Impact-resistant PU plastic sidewalls with diamond-polished, lightly detuned steel edges. Edge angles: -1° Bottom, 88° Side
Flex Profile
Medium stiff flex that’s stiffest at the center of the sidecut for unmatched edge hold and carving power. Outside the inserts, the flex gradually softens for easy turn initiation and a looser tip feel.
Sidecut + Power Bumps
Long radial sidecut for drawing big lines and bombing through variable conditions with confidence. Power Bumps improve edge grip and carving power on firm snow and icy groomers.

Customer Reviews
I wanted an all around daily driver that let me carve hard here and there. 166cm tall, 88kg, mondo 250, better carver than general rider. .. Buyed 158 descender in off season sales, so only used for carving in my city indoor snow piste. I´m very very happy with the performance. 4 stars only because i will never buy a white topsheet snowboard again. .. is very very dirty and need a lot of care not to be seen bad, learnt with this model. Other than that, i love the board and i think i´ll buy it again.

Hard to come up with something new, but here's my opinion:
I went to japan for a full season this year. Obviously with the question of whether I need to get a powder board. However I also needed a new all-mountain to do my instructing certification exams on, teach on mostly mellow terrain, as well as bomb offpiste and powder with friends on the weekends. Long and hard research led me to my descender, and my conclusion is: Best fun I've had on a board in a while. Its been my daily driver for almost every single case of boarding this season, and im enjoying it so much. I'll definitely be back at stranda next time im looking for a new board, because this one hasn't stopped being a good experience. Well worth the money, great support and chat with Mats, and honestly one of those brands I feel proud about supporting and riding. Every chance I get in public, im consciously leaving the white-on-black stranda logo on the base out or up towards the public.

I ride on the icey east where we don't get much snow. Our slopes are manmade steeps with no remorse. I'm a taller guy over 6ft with a size 12 boot. I went with the 166 wide.
This board can handle ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING the mountain throws at it. I've found myself wishing I had it with me on more than one occasion due to unexpected conditions. I can swerve through moguls, cut through icey steeps, slash through pow, or carve down groomers in style.
Definitely not a beginner board. I learned very quickly that speed is your friend. However, when you need to slow things down, this board can still be nimble and easy to toss around. I took this board to Vail and will be taking it to Whistler Blackcomb.
If you need a high quality warrior board that will do it all, this is a must have.

By far the best board I have ridden. Spooky how stable at speed and in choppy snow.
