Völkl Squad Junior

At Völkl we make sure the younger generation get the best of the best beneath their feet. The Squad Jr’s Freestyle Hybrid Shape with medium flex combines all the advantages of rocker and camber in one board. A light camber under the bindings gives more precise board control, while the nose and tail rocker makes for a more forgiving ride and generates more float in powder than a rubber duck in a bubble bath. Blunt nose geometry extends the board’s effective edge, giving noticeably more of that edge grip that is needed for high speed shredding while also catering to more progressive park riding. The Shock Absorber makes landings softer and safer and the board bombproof, reducing the impact of big airs on your body. Grip-lacquered areas work like built in stomp pads for one-foot tricks and drag lifts. A 5x2 insert system allows for stance adjustment to the centimetre and both wide versions have plenty of room even for the biggest of boots. No compromises - today’s rookies are tomorrow’s rippers!With light camber between the bindings, this shape is true and precise to ride, while the rocker in the nose and tail still make it more playful and floaty in powder than classic boards. Of course boards with this shape aren’t as forgiving as full rockers, or as poppy and smooth as camber boards, but feature a good mix of the advantages of both construction ways. The result is a board that feels shorter and more playful, with the stability and edge hold of a longer one.

Technology:

- Back-screened topsheet: Topsheets with silkscreened graphics are printed on the backside of a transparent and impact-resistant topsheet material. This protects extremely well against damage without compromising design or color.
- Scratch-resistant topsheet: This is an especially scratch resistant and sturdy topsheet for rental use.
- Partial grip-lacquer: For this topsheet the Grip Lacquer is only applied zonally, giving the board an integrated stomp pad as well as an extra special look. Depending on the design, there are coarse or finer grains inside the lacquer – with or without glitter.
- Tip-to-Tail Classic Woodcore: All Völkl boards are constructed using tip-to-tail and side-to-side aspen woodcores. Even the kids’ boards are equipped with these Tip-to-Tail woodcores, sporting an extra soft flex at a minimum weight.
- Slim-Tip construction: In contrast to conventional sandwich construction, the Slim-Tip Construction incorporates a solid, shock-absorbent urethane inlay in the nose and tail, which reduces weight and centrifugal mass, making the nose look slimmer and enhancing rotational characteristics of the board.
- True Twin Freestyle Sidecut with Blunt Nose: The characteristic of this symmetric Twin-Tip sidecut is the geometry of the Blunt Nose. Not only are nose and tail shortened for this shape, but the overall sidecut is adapted to move the widest part further to the front and back of the board. This results in a longer effective edge and more pressure as soon as you ride the board on an edge. A very interesting option for freestylers who enjoy riding a shorter board, as the board is very playful and forgiving on flat terrain, while offering more control when ridden on an edge, preventing washing out if a trick isn’t stomped.

The result is a board that feels shorter and more playful, with the stability and edge hold of a longer one.
- Blunt Nose Geometry: For this special shape, the nose is built a little flatter with the sidecut adjusted accordingly. This increases the effective contact length of the edges, hence you can ride smaller boards with the same bite of a much longer board. This construction also provides less centrifugal mass, improving the whole board feeling and making spins smoother
- Insert Systems: There are three common insert systems, in which the distance between the inserts differs. With a 4x4 system, the inserts are 4cm apart. With the 5x2 and 6x2 Insert Systems, the insert rows are only 2cm apart, which means that the stance can be set more precisely, with the 6x2 system offering the most individual placement options. The discs can then be used to adjust the centering of the bindings.
- 3x4 Insert System: There are three common insert systems, in which the distance between the inserts differs. With a 4x4 system, the inserts are 4cm apart. With the 5x2 and 6x2 Insert Systems, the insert rows are only 2cm apart, which means that the stance can be set more precisely, with the 6x2 system offering the most individual placement options. The discs can then be used to adjust the centering of the bindings.

- 5x2 Insert System: There are three common insert systems, in which the distance between the inserts differs. With a 4x4 system, the inserts are 4cm apart. With the 5x2 and 6x2 Insert Systems, the insert rows are only 2cm apart, which means that the stance can be set more precisely, with the 6x2 system offering the most individual placement options. The discs can then be used to adjust the centering of the bindings.
- Sandwich construction: Located between the upper and lower layer of fiber on the core of the board is a sidewall made of ABS synthetics that has been integrated to directly transmit pressure from the bindings onto the edge without loss of power. This makes the board even more responsive, providing maximum edge grip and the smoothest ride possible.
- Shock Absorber: The Shock Absorber consists of a single hard wood layer that is inserted where the core tapers. Together with a V-Flex inlay it offers massive pop and improves durability as well as torsional properties.
- Triaxial fiberglass weave in upper and lower beam: This special weave consists of fibers that are positioned at a 45° angle (+45°/-45°) in addition to a longitudinal direction. Depending on the density of the woven fibers, torsion and flex are enhanced without increasing the core’s thickness. This reduces weight and enhances responsiveness as well as edge grip.
- V-Flex fiberglass weave: The V-Flex is a triaxial fiberglass weave with increased fiber density (grammage) reinforcing the area around the bindings. This provides optimal distribution of power to the edges of the board, making it more stable when strong forces are applied.
- Extruded super-clear base: This special Super-Clear Base complements silk-screened base graphics and delivers brilliant colors and almost total transparency. It also makes the base low-maintenance and very durable.
- Back-screening and Die-Cut: This unique and complex method of creating graphics allows the combination of colorful Silk-Screening with Die-Cut, achieving stunning 3D effects.
- Stone finish: A good Stone Finish gives the base a universal structure that works in almost all snow conditions. It also improves wax absorption, making the board even faster
- Diamond finish: Diamond Finish is standard for all Völkl boards. Edges are ground so that they extend 1° down from the base and 1° out from the sides and heated for maximum durability. This provides easy maneuverability and great edge hold in icy conditions.
