The ski you just envisioned is the Ripstick 88 and its versatility is fed by Elan's innovative Amphibio Profile, supported by Carbon Deck Technology featuring carbon rods and unidirectional carbon bands located along the edges for the most responsive and smoothest ride in our narrowest freeride footprint.
Ripstick 88 is slim enough to slice and dice early morning corduroy and wide enough to negotiate new snow with quickness, rebound, and easily attainable power thanks to its lightweight 3D design reinforced by natural Flax fiber. If you're not sure what your next ski day is going to dish out, trust a ski that's guaranteed to deliver the goods.

They reduce weight and increase a firmer rebound.
To create TubeLite Technology, two super lightweight Carbon tubes are inserted into a laminated woodcore. Measuring 5mm in diameter and hollow in their construction, these tubes run the length of the ski following the arc of the sidecut.
Carbon Deck Technology combines the powerful rebound of Tubelite Woodcore, with carbon rods and unidirectional carbon (UD) edge bands. These combined technologies provide powerful rebound, torsional rigidity and a strong, stable platform for superior response and a smooth ride.
TruLine is a technology that creates optimal edge pressure from toe to heel.
