SNOWBOARD ENGLISH 2009

TESTERS APPLAUDED AND WERE SUPER IMPRESSEDWITH PALMER’S REVOLUTIONARY FLF DESIGN,WINNING “BEST BOARD,” GUSHING REVIEWS FROMCRITICS OF BOTH SNOWBOARDS AND SKIS, ANDPRIME POSITIONING IN ALL MAJOR BUYER’S GUIDES.

Future SnowboardingMagazine, Winter 2008Pulse

“As steady as a heartbeat, it was a solidboard that held its line and was really funto ride. The Pulse shined during higherspeed freeriding, situations where its extrastiffness and weight aided in stability. Alsonotable was its edge control in the pipe,perfect for blasting lofty airs and easinginto smooth landings.”

Jade:

“All three testers appreciated the stabilityand versatility of this board. Its highestscores were earned for turning (fast orslow) and its ollie-ability. Our toughestcritic, was pleased with the well-roundedperformance of the Jade, loving its talentsin the park and in the pipe.”

Our customers define us. They putour boards and skis to the test everywinter, in search of the best ride.We build our boards knowing thatpeople stick with brands they canrely on. Our unwavering goal is todeliver a better product at a bettervalue every year – to enhance theriding experience on the mountain.

Outside Magazine, Winter 2008“It floats in powder and generates white knuckle speed on groomers, but stilllight enough for easy spins and big airs through the park and off backcountrybooters.“This behemoth makes turning thoughtless, spinning simple, and

powder a pleasure,” said one tester.

Palmer debuts its FLF technology, which optimizes action between the lowered noseand tail kick and the sidecut. It helps maintain speed when you initiate a turn because the nosedoesn’t dig into the snow. It also transfers power more quickly to the effective edge.

Thanks to FLF, the Honeycomb felt stable at speeds that cause other boards to get shaky.“Carving feels effortless and faster,” said one tester. There’s also an increase in stabilitythrough the turn. And coming out of the turn, this monster accelerates even more.

The board is cored with superlight Nomex Honeycomb from tip to tail, creating one of thelightest production boards available. Accordingly, the Honeycomb floated and turned withease, while FLF gave it the ability to power through the worst springtime crud.

Artist Collaboration SeriesFor our Artist Collaboration series, Palmer ishonored that Nat and MickeyWoolley, Chase,and Carrie Masters created limited editiongraphics for this year’s snowboard and ski col-lection.

Snowboard Collection 2009Now in our 14th year, Palmer continues to buildthe lightest, strongest, highest performancesnowboards (and skis) in the business.

The beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and its vibrant colors,mixed with new-age, grafitti styled art are what infuencesus the most. Our work and our style has been featured inmagazines from the cover of Surfer Mag to the pages of GQ,but most often you'll see our art under the feet of some ofthe world's most talented surfers.

THE ART OF CHASEAs a public service, Chase, artist/designer and Belgiumtransplant, paints free murals around Los Angeles depictingyoung children with the text next to them saying:“RememberWhoYou Are.”

Children represent the closest stage in this lifetime to theEssence and have not yet been conditioned by today’sworld. No wonder they are so full of Love, Joy,Wonder, Peaceand Truth. The intent behind the “RememberWhoYou Are”installations is to stimulate the general public to re-considerand re-member with their inner child.

Chase’s other mural installations revolve around his“Awareness Geezers”, who are best described as colorfulcharacters who have stumbled upon spirituality and aware-ness not by following the suggested path in life, but ratherby having created their own path, guided by their sense ofadventure and an “irreducable element of rascality”. The“Awareness Geezers” bring with them the fruits of theirexperiences in the form of uplifting messages such as “youcan't until you say you can”,“be peace”, and “go without ifyou don't go within”. The messages are designed to inspiresoul-searching conversations with one’s self or with others.

Some of Chase's past clients include Puma, Adidas, Levi’s,Scion and Hot Kiss. Chase has also art-directed a fewclothing lines including 614, a brand formed in 2001 basedon his philosophy which was available at select boutiquesacross the world. Chase’s one-of-a-kind garments havebeen worn by Gwen Stefani, MarlonWayans, Linkin Parkand Mos Def to name a few.

In October 2006, Italian Vogue named Chase one of their fivefavorite street artists in the world amongst Banksy, Obey andSpace Invader.

With over 90 murals painted in the greater Los Angeles areaand around the world, appearances on TV and in magazines,and his t-shirts and stencil paintings now available at selectstores worldwide, Chase’s work has been seen by millions.

PLS Shock

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 900’s 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 is morefreeride-oriented.

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.

For more information, please go to our website: palmerproject.com

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.

UHMW PLASTIC BUMPERSLightweight tip and tail protectors for high impact ding resistance and lowest swing weight.

SKI ENGLISH 2009

TESTERS APPLAUDED AND WERE SUPER IMPRESSEDWITH PALMER’S REVOLUTIONARY FLF DESIGN,WINNING “BEST BOARD,” GUSHING REVIEWS FROMCRITICS OF BOTH SNOWBOARDS AND SKIS, ANDPRIME POSITIONING IN ALL MAJOR BUYER’S GUIDES.

“The Palmer P02 is remarkably effortless. The P02can allow the skier to arc serious cuts into thesurface of dozens of different runs all day withoutencountering the fatigue often associated with otherfrontside carving skis. That’s significant. Overall,I really like what this ski has to offer.”

ExoticSkis.com“The P02’s lock into a powerful turn at low speeds,and the squarish tails, carry the carve across thehill.Way quick and responsive.”

Skiing Magazine

“What took it to a new level wasn't its versatilitybut its ease. The black ski is a knee-saver, abreathsaver, maybe even a heart-saver. Itrequires less effort than any ski I’ve ever beenon. And its sweet spot is as big as all outdoors.”

“Jules Older, Ski Press“Superb carver, secure on the firm snow”

EpicSki.com

“This may be the best high edge angle carving skito debut in recent years. Palmer’s unique design,especially the relationship between complex-curvesidecut and pressure distribution zones,has produceda ski that feels different from any other we have testedand one which seems like it could etch perfectcarves into a pane of hardened glass. And – theamazing part – at the same time, the PO2 can beskied at low speeds with progressively soft edges.All this adds up to a superb on-piste ski capable ofalmost anything at any speed.”

RealSkiers.com

“Ultra easy, do everything ski. Your grand-mother could ski these boards and be happy.A park and pipe type could do anything withthem easily. An all-mountain expert could usethem all over the hill.”

ExoticSkis.com

“Palmer stepped to the challenge of making skis, andour testers applauded: ‘I was super impressed, theflex pattern was consistent throughout. Pleasantlysurprised, it is very energetic and fun.’”

Freeskier Magazine“Solid mountain player.”

Powder Magazine

“Wicked easy to ski. Goes anywhere with very, verylittle effort. This is the kind of ski you might want toride the first ski day after getting your ACL fixed.Great spring ski. Really soft. Surprising snap if youload up the tail and let it fly – comes back down softas you like. I think Palmer has hit on a ski withappeal to newbies and park rats. Excellentmaneuverability. Nice job.”

ExoticSkis.com

Attitude Adjustment“Carving skis have revitalized skiing, but at the sametime they have made skiing more aggressive andfaster than ever,” says Dr. med. Georg Ahlbäumerof Klinik Gut, St. Moritz, the national secretary ofSwitzerland's International Society for Skiing Safety.

When you tip carving skis on edge, they will immedi-ately start turning because of the smaller sidecuts,which makes turning easier and faster. But the moreaggressive sidecuts also increase the risk of catchingan edge. The higher speeds also send increasedforce across the joints, which can lead to moresevere knee ligament injuries.

Palmer’s new FLF shape design is getting rid of thatjoy-killing, confidence-sapping, pain-driven andexhausting skiing experience, and instead deliveringspeed, performance and race-like qualities.

FLF, which stands for “Feels Like Flying,” offers asnowboard-driven freeskiing experience – fun, joy-ful, cool, relaxed, effortless and always comfortablyin control – making it easier to perform at any level.

Palmer and FLF are connecting skiers with fun andeffortless riding – having a good time, instead ofhurting their bodies and risking injury due touncontrollable speed.

FLF brings back the fun and motivationfor skiing… Feels Like Flying!

“Excellent skis for non-muscleheads. Finely-tunedmachine with a very friendly behaviour. Remarkablyeffortless and very, very interesting. This ski couldbring an advanced intermediate skier instantly intoan semi-expert level carving experience with verylittle coaching. It may well be one of the bestwomen’s carving skis I can think of, due to itsimpressive finesse and remarkably light weight.”

Klothoid Radii Nose Kick

Klothoid Radii Sidecut

FLF Shape Design puts you at the controlsof a ride that never felt easier.Riding Excellence.

FLF design makes skiing and boarding easier than ever before by giving the rider improved handling andedge hold. The result is a safer, less tiring and a more enjoyable riding experience. FLF gives the ridergreater control when turning, accelerating and braking for faster, more powerful riding.You canactually feel FLF work – feels like flying!

FLF Shape Design.

Palmer FLF Shape design optimizes the interaction between the lowered nose and tail kick and the sidecut.Klothoid represents the numerous radii (circles) that define the sidecut, and FLF design extends these radiiinto the nose and tail kick. FLF helps maintain speed when you initiate a turn because the nose doesn’t diginto the snow. FLF transfers power more quickly to the effective edge.

Handling and Control.

By optimizing the edge contact with the snow, FLF immediately reduces nose edge pressure after turninitiation, so the nose doesn’t get pushed into the snow. Simply put, FLF gets the nose out of the way of theturn! In practical terms this means less snow resistance power, more control and effortless handling,thanks to an optimized edge grip.

Body Friendly.

Because FLF Shape design makes riding more comfortable and easier to control, you feel more relaxed whichallows you to conserve body energy. This energy-efficient design even reduces pressure on the knees andreduces the risk of catching an edge.Your body can actually feel FLF work.

Fact: Inside Track estimates ski-related knee injuries alone exceed $250 million in medical bills each yearin the United States. Be gentle to your body with the FLF shape design.
