Technology
Stay Positive Camber
Powerful and predictable; tried-and-true camber.
Directional Twin Shape
Directional Triple HotRod
Versatility, reactivity and all-terrain mobility.
Carbon Omega HotRod
Other-worldly response with our most powerful snap.
SinterSpeed Base
Our premium sintered base built for high performance and high-speed riding.
Twin Flax Walls
Twin Flax Walls are used in freestyle-oriented true twin boards to provide strength in the nose and tail, helping to load ollies and absorb deep landings at high speeds.
Flax Impact Plates
Flax Impact Plates are woven flax mats that are housed around the board’s insert packs, sandwiched between the core and top sheet. This horizontal layup works to withstand deep landings, distribute impact in variable conditions and increase the board’s overall lifespan without dramatically changing the board’s flex.

Rene-Gade Graphic Story
For Rene Rinnekangas’ pro model we wanted to create something special together. Rene’s grandmother was his biggest fan and he wanted to pay tribute to her with this graphic. He crafted a series of single-line drawings that we took and ran with to create the base graphic. Adding in the Finnish national flower, which was also his grandmothers favorite, was a nod to her and his roots. On the topsheet, we included the nickname she called him as a child, “Hellan Dura”, as a small misty detail, so that he can always ride with her.
Customer Reviews
My new favorite board. I use it everywhere in all conditions. Rome is awesome, great people work here and are happy to help you.
The Renegade rides well, and it's been my go-to board for the past two seasons. Super fun, poppy, and the 157w is decent for powder days too. Both seasons ended in warranty claims, however, as the topsheets wrinkled and bubbled under bindings and near the hotrods in the tip and tail. That said, it took an average of 30 days on hill for that to happen--more than a season for most people.
Perfect board!
Great Board with an amazing design. Totally Recommend!
Very nice! Super!
Made sure I took the board everywhere before writing a review and I can say no matter where you take it, it’s a beast. Good float in powder, stiffness prevents chatter on groomers so you can go eye-wateringly fast, edge holds really well so it carves and pop is like getting kicked up the arse. It Rips through the park. Only thing I’d say is it’s not super nimble because of how stiff it is so can be a lot to handle in the trees if that’s what you like sticking too.
Easily the best board I’ve ever had!! It rides amazing, looks amazing, feels amazing! What more can you ask for on top of the og style of graphic to top it off 🔥🔥 10/10
Haven’t been on a full camber stiff board like this since my Palmer in the early/mid 2000s. This thing rips. Insanely fast and stable at speed, tons of pop. You can lay into pow so hard on this thing. When going though trees it’s not the most nimble because of the stiffness. Pick your line early and blast it. I can’t get enough of this thing.
It took me a while to make up my mind on what board to get. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Its directional, but rides switch so well. Pretty good float for me on the 157W at 165lbs. Edge to edge is really nice, the board is agile and nimble but not twitchy at all. It wants to go fast and is confidence inspiring bombing torn up end of day runs. Rips fresh grooms runs beautifully and jumps as good as any board I've ridden. This thing really wants, above all, to just slay the mountain. Ripping hard carves to your next side hit.
Got 15 days so far on the Renegade and love this board. I got a 157W and it’s been sweet in the park, powder, and groomers. Decided to go wide and big for this board and have been able to Eurocarve better than I ever have before. Super stoked on this board, would highly recommend, but be warned, she is stiff so make sure you do your squats. Broke in nice after about day 10 or so.
