Insta/Gator
Snap in and out of turns, spin like a machine, and rail like a train. Never before released Drag Free Insta/Gator means reduced boot overhang for deep carving. The 12mm of taper and Rocker Camber profile give the DF Insta a nimble feel, while it's massive surface area offers tremendous float. Now anyone with a bigger boot size can ride anywhere in any conditions. You'd better get one of these limited DF Gator's sooner rather than later.

I'm 6'11" and 250lbs. It's awesome having a drag free board that's a little shorter but can still support a large human. This board is a dream in fresh powder and has amazing float. The setback stance does a phenomenal job of keeping the nose on top of the snow instead of getting buried, and having a short tail is ridiculously fun for making quick turns in the trees. Riding in variable conditions with lots of chop has been a bit of a learning curve and I've taken a few falls that I wasn't expecting due to it handling differently than my twin. In fresh snow though, this board is an absolute dream. It's also very poppy and playful, it really excites the joy of snowboarding.
So fun to see the Insta/Gator back in the lineup. Such a fun, floaty, and fast board. It is like a knife through butter in the trees. The short tail and big nose let you slice through the tightest tree gaps to find those secret pow stashes nobody else can reach!
