Mystic I Core
A high-grade core for mixed mountain or park performance, built using FSC certified, sustainably produced "TDS" poplar and reinforced with two bamboo axels running tip to tail down the center of the core. The bamboo axels create compression struts that liven up the longitudinal flex without affecting turn or spin initiation and landing recoverability. TDS is a specially selected lighter grade of wood. Our two Mystic Cores are reinforced with Bamboo. Bamboo is one of the strongest materials on the planet. It has 40 times the effective life of carbon fiber and provides 60% more return than traditional core materials. Bamboo's tensile strength and weight-to-strength ratio are superior to steel; yet bamboo is light, flexible, and resistant to compression.
