From park to backcountry, Palmer boards inspire confidence and fun. Slow or fast, they rail good,jump good, pow good, carve good … effortless, responsive handling for excellent riding control.

And if you wish to pull the trigger, they love acceleration and speed. They stay quiet, superstable and precise – never nervous, never insecure. Effortless, playful, in control, Palmer boardsare body-friendly, high tech, and built in Europe to guarantee long lasting quality.

Experience confident riding that Feels Like Flying ... Experience Palmer.

Body-Friendly High Tech – the FLF Mini-RockerCheck out the Feels Like Flying principle in action. See why our Feels Like Flying (FLF) Shape Designputs you in control of a ride that never felt easier.

The Feels Like Flying shape combines the best of two worlds, the advantages from the regular and the reverse camber(Rocker) shapes. The carving shape delivers both a dynamic initiation into turns, as well more edge contact with thesnow during acceleration. Meanwhile, the forgiving nose and tail of the reverse camber shape bring you easy,effortless handling and increased flotation.

Palmer Feels Like Flying (FLF) Shape vs. the Reverse Camber (Rocker) Shape: A comparison of how they work.

The edge pressure defining contact points switch on the Feels Like Flying shape, while thecontact points of the reverse camber shape stay at the same spots.

When the board leans into a turn the edge pressure starts to build up and the contact pointsfrom both ends move from point A towards the center of the board to point C.The reduced snow resistance unloads nose and tail pressure after turn initiation,preventing the nose and tail from getting pushed into the snow. At the same timethe residual edge making contact with the snow gets more pressure in themiddle of the turn. Towards the end of the turn as pressure unloads thecontact points move from C back to starting point A,allowing more edge to make contact with the snow.

Experience confident riding …that Feels Like Flying.

Reverse Camber shape: contact points do not move

Page 6: Palmer 2010 English

The Experience:

Feels Like Flying (FLF) Shape Design puts you in controlof a ride that never felt easier.

Riding Excellence.FLF, which stands for “Feels Like Flying”, makes boarding easier than ever before by giving therider effortless handling and improved riding control. The result is a safer, less tiring and a morefun riding experience. FLF gives the rider greater control when turning, accelerating and braking.

Feels Like Flying Shape Design.Exclusive for Feels Like Flying is the optimized interaction between sidecut and nose and tailsurfaces. FLF reduces nose and tail edge pressure after turn initiation, preventing the noseand tail from getting pushed into the snow.You can actually see and feel how it works.

Handling and Control.This reduced snow resistance unloads nose and tail pressure allowing easier and morepredictable handling for a more confident, in-control ride with reduced risk of catching anedge. It’s also less exhausting for your whole body!

FLF makes the board very precise, easy to direct and yet offers a fantastic edge grip at anyspeed. Never nervous, never insecure ... just a quiet, confident, comfortable ride. And itallows you to carve at lower speeds!

But if you wish to pull the trigger the FLF shape loves acceleration and speed and has no upperspeed limit ... it just stays quiet, super stable and precise. Slow or fast, Palmer inspirescomfort, confidence and fun!

Fun and Body FriendlyFLF makes riding more body friendly with reduced pressure on your joints, especiallyyour knees.

The energy-efficient design is less tiring for the whole body and makes riding safer, morecomfortable and easier to control.You feel more relaxed and confident which allows you toenjoy riding for more hours. Simply put … FLF makes boarding easier to enjoy andmore fun at any level!

Experience confident riding … that Feels Like Flying.

Timeless – Safe at Any Speed

“With its cap sidewall construction, the Timeless dishes up super smooth,chatter-free turns at any speed. At higher velocity, Palmer's FLF technology

(which earned the company a Gear of the Year award last year) slightly lifts thenose and tail, to prevent the nose from digging into the snow when turning.”

PLS ShockPower Link System

Page 27: Palmer 2010 English

PLS Super

PLS Flex and Standard

Power Link System (PLS)Simply put, the PLS is power steering forsnowboards. The perfect upgrade for any board.

The PLS is all about leverage. The PLS enablesyou to transfer more body power to your edgesfor better grip, improved control, and quickerboard response.

The PLS also eliminates the dead spot that abinding creates on the board, allowing the boardto flex the way it should. The PLS makes heel-sideturns feel like toe-side turns and toe-side turnsfeel better with less effort. Less effort meansriders stay on the mountain longer.

Energize your ride.The PLS come in 4 models for different ridingstyles and is not gender specific:

PLS ShockOur highest end plate, the PLS Shock is themack-daddy of the plates.With 13mm of lift,this dual durometer plate has harder plasticon the outside pushing power to the edge andsofter plastic on the inside that cushions thefoot and dampens vibration.

PLS SuperThe PLS Super has 20mm of lift and morepower to the edge. The PLS is great in thehalfpipe because when you’re coming downon those 900s and don’t land just right, yourtoes will not catch the wall.

PLS FlexThe PLS Flex is the best-selling plate in theline.With 10mm of lift, this softer freestylemodel goes with any board on your wall.

PLS StandardThe PLS Standard has 10mm of lift and ismore freeride-oriented.

Glossary

4400 ISOSPEEDScreen printed or ultrasonically cut inlaid bases with stone ground finish for high speed, easy repairs, and maximumwax absorption. Fast, tough and fixable.

7200 HIGH SPEED BASESThe inlaid 7200 graphite bases have computer-controlled stone ground or structured finishes and are super fast.

CAP-SIDEWALLCap-sidewall sandwich construction is the most expensive to produce but combines the advantages of bothsidewall and cap construction to distribute maximum power to the edges. ID-2000 sidewalls overlap the steeledges completely and guarantee maximum durability, precise edge grip and vibration dampening.

CARBONCarbon fiber strips give a board additional liveliness, and more pop, strength and edge grip.We place carbonfiber in special configurations to modify the board’s longitudinal flex, torsional stiffness, and to improve powerdistribution from the bindings to the edges of the board.

FLF SHAPEFLF (Feels Like Flying) is the optimized interaction between the sidecut and the nose and tail surfaces. Klothoidrepresents the numerous radii (circles) that define the sidecut, and FLF extends these radii into the nose and tailkick. In practical terms this means more control and effortless handling, thanks to an optimized edge grip. FLFpushes edge-hold, stability and acceleration to a new standard of handling and safety.

HONEYCOMBNomex™ Honeycomb core made of impregnated aramid fiber is ten times lighter than wood and has an excellentstrength-to-weight ratio. Because Nomex™ is not affected by moisture, corrosion does not occur like it does withcores made of aluminum or paper. Our Honeycomb is filled with 99% air.

HRC-48 EDGESSteel edges for a powerful and long lasting edge grip.

KLOTHOID SIDECUTKlothoid technology allows Palmer engineers to control the centrifugal forces riders experience as they turn.This unique multi-radii shape technology allows us to blend together as many different sidecut radii as neededto achieve an even easier, more forgiving and effortless board that delivers the highest riding performance ever.

PREPREG/NCF (NON-CRIMP-FABRIC) PREPREGPrepreg adds the perfect amount of glue exactly where it is needed and not a drop more. It ensures durability, longlife, and consistency in flex and ride.Where other manufacturers use wet lamination to save money, Palmer maintainsits commitment to quality by using prepreg in all boards. Prepreg allows us to deliver a finer product, helps maintaina safer workplace for our employees and minimizes our impact on the environment.

WOODCORESVertically laminated beech/poplar or Okume woodcores for high strength, low weight, and optimal flexural properties.Tailored to each board’s exact specs. Every model has its own special woodcore – different in wood type, shape,and composition.

3DWOODCOREThree dimensional shapes milled into the board’s woodcore saves on weight and puts strength where it isneeded - directing more power to the edges.

POWER LINK SYSTEM (PLS)PLS increases leverage over the edges and makes riding easier – a recommended upgrade for any board.

SIDEWALLFull sidewall that’s easy to fix.

TITANIUMTitanium offers the unique racing features of high power, dynamic rebound, incredible stability, and excellentdampening.

TRI-RADIAL SIDECUTThree radii are blended together for smooth turn initiation, stable ride on edge, and quick, powerful exit snapinto the next turn.

TWINTIPA snowboard or ski shape where the nose and tail are identically shaped and designed to be ridden forward andbackwards. Most commonly used in freestyle riding.

Reverse Camber Shape

Regular Carving Shape

Body-Friendly High Tech – the FLF Mini-RockerCheck out the Feels Like Flying principle in action. See why our Feels Like Flying (FLF) ShapeDesign puts you in control of a ride that never felt easier.

The Feels Like Flying shape combines the best of two worlds, the advantages from the regular and the reverse camber(Rocker) shapes. The carving shape delivers both a dynamic initiation into turns, as well more edge contact with thesnow during acceleration. Meanwhile, the forgiving nose and tail of the reverse camber shape bring you easy,effortless handling and increased flotation.

Palmer Feels Like Flying (FLF) Shape, Normal Carving Shape, and the Reverse Camber (Rocker) Shape:a comparison of how they work.

The edge pressure defining contact points switch on the Feels Like Flying shape,while the contact points of the reverse camber shape stay at the same spots.

When the skis lean into a turn the edge pressure starts to build up and thecontact points from both ends move from point A, towards the center of theski to point C. The reduced snow resistance unloads nose and tail pressureafter turn initiation, preventing the nose and tail from getting pushed intothe snow. At the same time the residual edge making contact with thesnow gets more pressure in the middle of the turn. Towards the end ofthe turn as pressure unloads the contact point’s move from C back tostarting points A, allowing more edge to make contact with the snow.
