Camber Profile

Early Rise Camber

Early rise in the nose for forgiving, catch-free turn initiation and powder float. Mild camber underfoot and into the tail for snap, pop, and responsive edge control. The profile that makes a freestyle board feel at home everywhere on the mountain.

Shape

Directional Twin

Equal nose and tail widths with a radial sidecut — symmetrical enough to ride switch with total confidence, directional enough to drive forward with purpose. Rides true to size, no adjustment needed.

10 Years in Development

The DPR didn't come from a product meeting. Pete Saari and the Mervin crew spent a decade refining the Double Dip into freestyle perfection — every sidecut shape, profile tweak, and geometry lesson from that process is baked into this board. You're riding ten years of decisions.

Mini Magne-Traction®

Strategically placed edge serrations give you real grip on hardpack and firm snow without making the board feel grabby or twitchy in the park. It's the right amount of edge hold for an all-mountain freestyle board — dialled specifically for how this board is meant to be ridden.

Birch Internal Sidewalls

Vertical end-grain Birch sidewalls add pop and durability without adding weight. The DPR feels lively and responsive at a medium flex — the sidewall construction is a big part of why.

UHMW Sintered Sidewalls

Ultra-high molecular weight sintered sidewalls — twice as dense as most industry standard sidewalls. More durable, more responsive, and a Lib Tech construction detail that most boards at this price point don't have.
