Amplid Kodama 26-27 - Details
The Amplid Kodama 26/27 exists for one purpose: float. A single size at 156 cm with a 268 mm waist and 30 mm setback, it is Amplid’s widest and most setback splitboard — a board conceived for deep days, steep shots and the kind of snow where every millimetre of width and every degree of setback matters.
The Tapered Directional shape and Cruise Camber profile generate effortless float and a surfy, directional feel on the descent. A 9-metre sidecut radius keeps the Kodama composed at speed while still being nimble enough to thread trees. The wide waist accommodates riders with larger feet without boot overhang issues, and the broad weight range of 55 to 95 kg makes it surprisingly versatile for a single-size board.
The Knuckle Sandwich Construction brings Amplid’s proven sandwich durability to the Kodama, backed by Zero 90 Carbon for improved edge hold. For 26/27, the Kodama receives Basalt Suspension Strips, Bolted Tip Clips, Skin Holes, Thick Cut edges, a Lite Core and a factory Split Tune — everything you need to go straight from the box to the mountain.
Tech Features
Knuckle Sandwich Construction
Amplid's proven sandwich board construction: consistent flex, superior durability and reliable performance in demanding mountain conditions season after season.
Lite Core
A selectively profiled lightweight wood core that delivers the ideal mix of responsiveness and damping without unnecessary weight penalty.
Zero 90 Carbon
Carbon rovings integrated at 90° across the board improve edge grip and torsional stiffness while reducing weight compared to glass-only laminates.
Bézier Curves
Standard radii replaced with Bézier curves in the sidecut and nose design, allowing precise calculation of the flex curve for the most harmonious ride possible.
Basalt Suspension Strips
Basalt fiber strips running along the board act as a suspension system, damping vibrations and chatter for a smoother ride over variable snow conditions.
Bolted Tip Clips
Stainless steel tip clips bolted directly into the board tip — mechanically fixed so they never pop off or delaminate.
Floatation Tips
Extended tip geometry for improved float in deep powder conditions.
Thick Cut
Oversized steel edges for superior grip on hardpack, ice and variable backcountry conditions.
Impact Pads
Multidirectional glass pads in the binding area protect against dings from metal splitboard binding bases.
Shred Ready Sintered Base
Amplid's factory-tuned sintered base: race-prepped from day one — fast, durable, and ready to shred straight out of the bag.
Skin Holes
Pre-punched holes at the tip for attaching climbing skins directly to the board — no tip loop required.
Stratospheric Topsheet
A stratospheric topsheet coating that protects the board and sheds snow effectively while minimizing weight.
Split Tune
Each board half is factory-tuned with a board-specific edge bevel and base structure, ready to ride straight out of the bag.

What’s new in 26/27
Changes compared to the 25/26 model:
- Cruise Camber instead of “Dir. Cruise Camber” (renamed, same character)
- Sidecut radius: 9.25 m (was 9.0 m)
- Thick Cut new — oversized steel edges for hardpack grip
- Stratospheric Topsheet and Shred Ready Sintered Base upgrade
- Floatation Tips and Skin Holes new
- Zero 90 Carbon, Lite Core and Knuckle Sandwich Construction now clearly listed in the feature set
- Dimensions, size (156 cm), rider weight range (55–95 kg) and flex 6 remain unchanged
FAQ
Can I ride it on-piste? Yes. It is a bit heavier than a solid board, but it rides well on-piste.
Do I need special boots for splitboarding? No. Regular snowboard boots work, but splitboard/touring boots offer better uphill support, walk mode and edging on traverses.
