Whitespace Maax Snowboard Ember — 2026 Edition
Unleash Uncompromising Performance
The Whitespace Maax Snowboard Ember (2026) is forged for riders who want to dominate the full mountain — from aggressive carves and hardpack aggression to punchy freestyle laps and spontaneous powder slashes. Ember is not built to blend in — it’s built to demand attention.
What Sets the Maax Ember Ablaze
-
Directional / Hybrid Profile — A tuned mix of camber underfoot and rocker in the tip that delivers razor-sharp edge grip, explosive pop, and forgiving turn initiation.
-
Tapered / Directional Shape — The nose carries more float while the tail tracks clean, giving you balanced aggression in powder and precision on hardpack.
-
Core Construction — Expect a high-performance wood core blend (likely poplar + paulownia or similar) engineered for strength, flex control, and lively response.
-
Reinforcements & Laminates — Multi-axial fiberglass paired with carbon or other stiffening inserts to dial in snap, torsional rigidity, and power transfer.
-
Sintered / High-Performance Base — Durable, wax-soaking, and designed to hold speed across terrain and in variable snow.
-
Sidewalls & Impacts — ABS or thermoplastic sidewalls engineered to absorb shock, damp chatter, and protect edges under stress.
-
Eco & Aesthetic Touches — Whitespace’s commitment to sustainability suggests use of plant-based resins and water-based inks, combined with bold, aggressive graphics that match performance.

Terrain & Ride Feel
The Maax Ember is your go-to for aggressive rides. Crank hard carves on groomers, blast through choppy terrain, air into kickers, butter through transitions, and surprise yourself in soft snow. It’s not a mellow board — it wants to be charged. But it’s smart enough to adapt, forgiving enough to flow, and bold enough to assert its will on any line.
Ride It Because...
-
✅ You demand edge precision and pop for high-speed carving and technical jumps
-
✅ You want float and balance in deeper snow while retaining control on firm snow
-
✅ You refuse to carry multiple boards — this is your all-terrain weapon
-
✅ You amplify intensity — every run is a statement

Smaller sizes (150–154) yield nimble reaction and agility
-
Larger sizes (158–160+, wide variants) deliver more stability, especially at speed or with big boots
-
If you push hard on landings or ride unpredictable snow, lean one size up
-
Let the taper and hybrid profile assist you in deep snow — Maax will surprise you on how well it floats
