Camber Profile

Early Rise Directional Camber (C3)

Setback elliptical camber through the tail for powerful pop, carving, and edge hold. Early rise in the nose for effortless turn initiation and powder float — more forgiving than a pure camber nose without giving up any of the tail energy. The profile that makes the Rig easier to ride than its 7/10 flex suggests.

Shape

Directional — Mid Volume Shift

Full-sized floaty nose with a streamlined profile, mild taper, and a switch-functional tail. Deep sidecut for high-speed carving. Mid Volume Shift — size up 1–2 cm from your normal length for the intended ride feel.

Magne-Traction®

Seven strategically placed edge serrations that grip hardpack and ice where a smooth edge gives up. The biggest three teeth sit between your feet — the "dead zone" where your balance is centred — keeping control right where you need it most on firm afternoon snow.

OP+ Core — 75% Aspen / 25% Paulownia

Original Power Plus construction — Aspen for strength and consistency, Paulownia to cut weight and add a lively feel underfoot. FSC-certified, Mervin-built, and sourced from renewable forests. A core that pops without being heavy.

Triax / Biax Fiberglass

Two fiberglass orientations working together — Triax for snap and vibration damping, Biax for maximum pop and reduced chatter. The combination gives the Rig a stable, confident feel at speed without sacrificing response in quick terrain.

Birch Internal Sidewalls + UHMW Sintered Sidewalls

Birch internal sidewalls add pop and vibration absorption — wood reinforcement that makes the flex feel alive rather than dead. UHMW sintered outer sidewalls for durability and impact resistance. Built to survive a full season of hard use.

Sintered Knife Cut Base — Mervin Made, Washington USA

High-density UHMW sintered base with exceptional wax retention — fast out of the shop and stays fast with regular waxing. Handbuilt at Mervin Manufacturing in Sequim, Washington with zero hazardous waste. Same factory, same standards, whether it's the Lib Rig or the Golden Orca.
