Eric Themel talks about his board design

My HEAD ICT Premium is built for every terrain possible. With its remarkable shape and my own design its made for fun. Different elements like powder, park and pipe are the boards home. To explain the board in simple ways: Nose and Tail are almost the same in radius and kick. The only difference to a pure Twin Tip board is its Pintail. The board is made for tall guys like me who dont want to switch boards every day. With the rail system it is easy to switch the stance with one tool. Use setback in powder or center the stance for park riding. Or just find a medium stance for everything.
Though the board loves powder, with the twin shape it is fun to cruise around switch and land 5s or more and ride out...even in powder. The board is made for everyone and everybody who is tired of switching boards every 10 minutes. So take it and enjoy it at its best.
