Whitespace Maax Snowboard 2027 | High Desert

Whitespace Maax Snowboard | High Desert | 2027

Park Laps to Powder Lines. One Board.

The Maax is Whitespace's all-mountain shape for the rider who refuses to own three boards. Park laps before lunch, high-speed groomer carves after, and the morning it finally dumps, this is still the board you grab. For 2027 it lands in the High Desert colourway, with the same proven build underneath: a spoon-shaped directional nose, directional hybrid camber and a dual radius sidecut that add up to a board that floats when it's deep and bites when it's firm.

Inside is a poplar and balsa core laid in full-length strips: light, lively and quick to answer your feet. Whitespace wraps it in Dura-LT Carbon on top, an ultra-light, densely woven 45° fibreglass with carbon inserts that smooths out chatter, and Carbon X45 underneath, tri-axial fibreglass with 45° carbon inserts that loads up power and snap. The result feels energetic without feeling twitchy.

The dual radius sidecut is where the Maax earns its all-mountain stripes. Blended arcs let you flick it into a quick turn, then hold the edge when you open it up at speed. Camber keeps it stable and poppy, rocker adds float, and the spoon nose planes up and glides instead of diving. A sintered base, recyclable thermoplastic ABS sidewalls, plant-based bio-resin and water-based inks finish the build, all backed by Whitespace's 4-year warranty.

Built for Australian Conditions

Australian resorts can hand you three seasons in one day: firm, scraped groomers first thing, soft slush by lunch and the odd proper dump that turns Buller, Hotham or Falls Creek into a playground. The Maax is built for exactly that mix. The camber between your feet grips when the runs are hard and icy, while the rocker and spoon nose keep you on top when the snow goes soft and heavy in the afternoon.

The dual radius sidecut makes it easy to change turn shape on crowded runs, and the light balsa core keeps it lively for side hits and rollers on the way down. Heading to Japan or Canada? The spoon nose and directional shape are made for deeper snow, so it travels well. If powder is the main mission, explore our powder snowboards and freeride snowboards collections and filter by shape and profile.

FAQs

What size Whitespace Maax should I ride?
Start with rider weight, then check boot size. The 156 suits riders around 63–77kg in men's US 8–11 boots. Because the Maax has a directional spoon nose and rocker for float, you don't need to size up for soft snow. If you're between sizes, our snowboard size guide walks you through it, or call us on 03 9421 2293.

Is the Whitespace Maax good for park riding?
Yes. The camber between the feet gives it pop for jumps and side hits, and Whitespace lists park alongside all-mountain and powder for this board. It's a directional shape, though, so riders who spend most of the day spinning and riding switch will find a true twin more natural. Check our park snowboards collection for twin shapes.

How does the Maax handle icy Australian groomers?
The camber between the bindings and the dual radius sidecut give you solid edge hold on firm snow, while the Carbon X45 glass adds power and snap. Keep your edges sharp and the base waxed, and it will hold a line on the hardpack you get on Australian mornings.

What's the difference between the Maax and a regular all-mountain board?
The Maax adds a spoon-shaped directional nose and directional hybrid camber, so it floats more in soft and deep snow than a traditional camber board while keeping camber's grip and pop underfoot. The dual radius sidecut also lets you mix quick, tight turns with longer carves.

What warranty does the Whitespace Maax have?
Whitespace backs its boards with a 4-year warranty, one year longer than the industry standard. As an authorised Whitespace stockist, we handle warranty claims for you.
