Prodigy 1 26/27
Beige

The Faction Prodigy 1 is a park and piste twin tip with an 88 mm waist. The width makes it precise on hard-packed jumps and park features. The topsheet is beige with black artwork called Chasm by Parade Studios.

Full-strength sidewalls give strong edge hold. The core is poplar and ash between two layers of fibreglass. Poplar is a light wood that gives flex and pop and absorbs vibration. Ash is a heavier hardwood that makes the core stiffer and more durable. Together they give good hold on hard snow and a solid platform for landings. A carbon and rubber pad sits underfoot. It protects the core from heavy impacts and adds stability and damping under your boots. The tail is narrower than the tip for better downhill performance, and the twin tip tail makes it easy to ski switch.
