Signal's Park Series is built to take a beating. The base material is a polyethylene ISTT 1500. This extruded base material allows high-speeds yet requires only minimum maintenance and it’s easier to mend than sintered base material.

The alternating grain structure of the poplar core provides maximum strength and maximum pop, but still gives a core weight of only 1.4 pounds. The Magnum ABS sidewalls provide flexibility as well as high impact resistance.

The soft flex, mid-wide waist and radial side cut combine to make the Park one of the best boards for any riding level. Biaxial glass gives the Park its soft tip to tail flex and combined with the urethane top material, Exel PMU 4060, the Park also has a softer torsion flex. Again, the core is profiled specifically for each board providing a perfect stance for the park shredder.

The Park Series is available in eight sizes: a 134, 142, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156 and 158. Each one of these boards has a silkscreened top, an individually placed muslin piece beneath the top sheet and, of course, the signature beacon die cut base in rotating color ways.

Park profile
The Park Profile is thinner on the nose and tail but a standard thickness between your feet. This equals a softer nose and tail and provides a perfect flex for riding the park.

Silk Screened Top sheet
Silk screening is a process of layering color on top of color, one coat at a time. We screen the art on the underside of our clear top sheets. This protects the ink from any scratching.  We separate the layers of colors, mix the inks and pull one color at a time. This process allows us to leave windows open to the core, create one-of-a-kind color ways, and produce graphics with rich, saturated color.

Extruded Base
Extruded base material allows high-speeds yet requires only minimum maintenance and it’s easier to mend than sintered base material. Its pores are more open and require less than sintered material.

Biaxial Glass
Different glass weaves will enhance the flex, stability and durability of your ride. There are different weights of fiberglass and throughout Signal's board lines they find the best combination and grade of Biaxle and Triaxle glass weaves dependent on specific terrain. In addition, Carbon or Kevlar stringers may be added on the top or bottom of a glass weave to add more pop or torsional flex to a particular model. Anyone in the world can get these great materials, but it is how they are utilized in the lay up process that makes a board ride the way it does. And having our own factory gives us the home court advantage!

Twin Tip
A true twin board has symmetrical and centered geometry: the sidecut, inserts and tip and tails. It rides the exact same way both frontwards and backwards.

Radial sidecut
The sidecut of your board is measured as a radius in centimeters. It is an important part of your board's geometry that affects how your board turns. The larger the radius—or number—the more shallow of a sidecut your board has. Conversely, the smaller the radius of your board, the deeper the sidecut is and, therefore the more aggresive it will initiate a turn. A radial sidecut is a single single sidecut on the board. It is centered to the inserts and the waist and, therefore rides backwards the same way that it rides forwards.

Park Board
These boards have been specifically built for the park. They have softer flexing lighter and less dense cores. They are the twin boards build to bounce around the park with lots of pop and softer tips and tails.

Camber
Camber refers to the curvature of the base of the snowboard. Within traditional construction, camber provides the spring that assists a rider move edge to edge. When pressed, camber engages the sidecut and the edge of your board.

Core Values
Signal's wood comes from the Great Lakes area. In this region, wood grows slow due to the cold weather. Because of this, the trees grow with a very tight grain and that gives the trees their strength. They bring this Great Lakes Poplar and Aspen to the Core Shop where they glue the wood into blocks, alternating the grains within the block to give each core even more strength. Any finger joint—shorter pieces of wood that are glued together— in a core creates a stress concentration point. Signal uses only full-length pieces of wood. There are no finger joints in their cores.

• Snowboard Specs - What Do All Those Numbers Mean?
  Overall Length
  
  Overall length is the full length of the snowboard from tip to tail measured in centimeters (cm).  When you hear that a board is a 155 or '55, it simply means that the overall length of the board is 155 cm.
  
  Running Length
  
  Running length is the length of the snowboard that is actually in contact with the snow. This is measured as a straight line from the nose contact point (where the flat base ends and the nose begins) to the tail contact point. A freestyle board may have a longer running length than a freeride board of the same overall length, this is because the freeride board has a longer nose length.
  
  Effective Edge
  
  The effective edge measures the length of edge between the nose and tail of the board that is in contact with the snow. It is similar to running length, but measured along the curved edge rather than in a straight line, making it a slightly higher number.
  
  Sidecut Radius
  
  Imagine a giant circle overlapping the edge of the snowboard. Depending on the radius of the circle, the sidecut will be tighter or more mellow. A higher number is typically less aggressive and more stable, while a smaller radius is more performance driven. Some companies have 'progressive' sidecuts which is a combination of more than one radius. This allows the board to have the characteristics of one radius to initiate the turn and another radius to complete the turn.
  
  
  Waist Width
  
  The waist width is the width of the snowboard at its most narrow point. It is basically the width at the middle of the board.
  
  Stance Width
  
  The stance width refers to the range of stances available on a particular snowboard. Here are some tips for determining your stance.
  
  Snowboard Insert Patterns
  
  Insert patterns can be (1) a slider system, (2) a proprietary system such as the Burton 3-hole pattern, (3) a 4x2 pattern or (4) a 4x4 pattern.
  
  The slider system provides nearly unlimited stance options. The bindings are mounted to a track system and can be slid forward or backward to dial in the perfect stance width.
  
  Burton uses its own 3-hole pattern. In the past, you had to use Burton bindings, but today many binding companies provide a disc that is compatible with the Burton insert pattern.
  
  4x4 was the standard for several years with 4x2 becoming more common. They both use a 4-hole disc, but the 4x2 pattern offers more stance options because the inserts are closer together.
  
• Freeride vs. Freestyle - What's the difference?
  It is important to note that while each style is unique, there is overlap between each style, and often no visible difference. The most common styles today are freeride, freestyle, and freecarve/race.
  
  Freeride
  
  The freeride style is the most common and easily accessible style of snowboarding. It involves, in the most simple terms, riding down any terrain available. This could include the beginner's first time down the bunny slope, or riding down a 60° slope in the backcountry. All the while freeriders may include aerial tricks and jib tricks borrowed from freestyle, utilizing whatever natural terrain they may encounter.
  
  The freeride equipment usually used is a soft boot with a directional twin snowboard. Since the freeride style may encounter many different types of snow conditions, from ice to deep powder, the freeride snowboard is usually longer and has stiffer overall flex. A good example of a binding stance used is the forward stance with both leading and trailing feet in positive degree of arc ranges e.g. +9°/+15°.
  
  Freestyle
  
  This style incorporates the rider with man-made terrain features such as rails, boxes, handrails, jumps, half pipes, quarter pipes and a myriad of other features. The intent of freestyle is to use these terrain features to perform a number of aerial or jib tricks.
  
  The equipment used in freestyle is usually a soft boot with a twin tipped board, though freeride equipment is often used successfully. The most common binding stance used in freestyle is called "duck foot" which the trailing foot has a negative degree of arc setup while the leading foot is in the positive range i.e. -9°/+12°. Freestyle riders who specialize in jibbing often use boards that are shorter than usual, ones that have additional flex and ones that have filed down edges between both feet.
  
  The majority of snowboard competitions concern this style of snowboarding.
  
  Freecarve / Race
  
  This often overlooked style of snowboarding focuses on carving and racing. Sometimes called alpine snowboarding, or the 'euro-carve', freecarving takes place on hard-pack or groomed runs and focuses on the ultimate carving turn. Little or no jumping takes place in this discipline. Freecarve equipment is a hard boot and plate binding system with a true directional snowboard that is usually very stiff and narrow to facilitate fast and responsive turns.
