For 2010/2011, Automaton has gone through a major hardware retooling to update and refine every single snowboard in their line. The goal is to take their already awesome award-winning snow swords and make them even better! Simple, proven constructions + top materials + easy, predictable, forgiving flexes = the world’s finest and most fun freestyle snow-boards.

Their line is simple and efficient, designed to meet the high demands of discerning freestyle snow shreds worldwide. They do the work so you don’t have to!

Babble 144, 149, 156

Babble has nearly true twin shape. Noses are 1 cm longer than tails. Wide stances are centered on the effective edge. Goes great in forward and reverse. Super clear extruded base material shrugs off the abuse. 360 full – wrap steel edge protection. Full – lenghtpoplar/beech wood core for full – length pop. Medium – Soft flexes means stomping jumps and all-terrain versatility. A freestyle board that can actually leave the park! Simple and predictable flexes for freestyle fun and general tomfoolery!

Manimal 151, 154, 158

This board has true twin shapes for true twin shredding! Stances are wide and centered. It goes great in forward and reverse, because of effective edge with the radial sidecuts. Wide waists for bigger boots and more float in powder. Soft flexes mean maximum sensitivity and ease of use. A board that likes being ridden hard and put away wet! Less sidecut means high-speed stability and smoother landings. Perfect for when you don’t want to wipe out. Comparing to the Babble: Manimal gives more forgiving feel, more high-speed stability and True Twin feel!
