Amplid Surf Shuttle 26-27 - Details
The Amplid Surf Shuttle 26/27 is built for riders who chase powder and want their splitboard to feel like a surfboard on deep days. The Tapered Directional shape and Cruise Camber profile combine for smooth, flowing turns with a surfy, engagement that keeps you locked in through every bottom turn and top-to-bottom line.
A 3D Crust Buster Nose punches through wind slab on the skin track and generates float in deeper snow on the descent. The Knuckle Sandwich Construction delivers the sandwich durability and consistent flex that Amplid’s working boards are known for, while Zero 90 Carbon rovings improve edge hold and torsional response. At 157 and 161 cm with a 260/264 mm waist, the Surf Shuttle is sized for riders who want meaningful float without sacrificing maneuverability in tight trees or steeper chutes.
For 26/27, the Surf Shuttle receives the full Knuckle Sandwich feature upgrade: Basalt Suspension Strips for vibration damping, Bolted Tip Clips and Skin Holes for clean touring setup, Thick Cut edges, a Lite Core and a factory Split Tune.
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.
3D Crust Buster Nose
A three-dimensionally shaped nose that punches through wind-packed snow crusts on the skin track and generates extra float in deep powder on the descent.
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 the variable conditions common in the backcountry.
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.

- Knuckle Sandwich Construction now explicitly listed
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.
