The Alternative All-Mountain Shredder

Created by legendary surf shaper Chris Christenson and Jeremy Jones, this board is built to slash, carve, and float effortlessly across any terrain.
With a tapered directional shape, a blunted nose, and a full-size tail, the Mind Expander delivers nimble maneuverability with the versatility of a directional twin.

The stance has been moved forward 20mm, giving this board extra carving power without sacrificing playfulness.
Under the hood, the Boost Core create a lively, responsive ride, with a softer flex between the feet for effortless turns and stiffer tips for solid landings. Basalt Power Stringers boost torsional response and edge-to-edge control, while the Sintered 8000 Base ensures lightning-fast speed and durability. Whether you're ripping through deep powder, slashing side hits, or carving up groomers, the Mind Expander is ready to unlock new creative lines.
