Public Statement Snowboard Review 2024 | What's Good?

Public Statement Snowboard Video Review

"It excels at high speeds and boosts off side-hits. It has stability in the park, and the mid-wide shape helps for anybody with a larger boot."

Public Statement Snowboard Basics

The Public Statement is Kas Lemmens pro model. It’s a mid-wide, positive camber board that flattens out at the contact points, allowing it to quickly get from edge to edge despite its slightly wider waist width. This gives the board the perfect balance of playfulness and stability while hitting jumps or rails. The mid-wide shape alleviates toe & heel drag and offers more stability for high-impact riders looking for bigger terrain.
It has a softer torsional flex and a slightly longer blend zone at the contact points, making the board quicker and easier to get on edge. It also features a poplar wood core for smooth, consistent flex, a sintered base to make getting speed in the park or streets no problem, urethane sidewalls for superior durability and damping, and four 20mm wide quad carbon strips in the tip and tail for incredible pop.

Who is the Public Statement Snowboard Best For?

Public Statement Snowboard Tester Notes

"It excels at high speeds and boosts off side-hits. It has stability in the park, and the mid-wide shape helps for anybody with a larger boot. It's definitely more of an advanced feeling bored 'cause you do have to ride it at a higher speed to get that response from it. But all in all it's super fun and playful for jumping, very predictable since it is a mid-wide and you really feel that stability under foot. And it still has that snap riding through the chunder. This board would excel for someone who's looking to hit the streets and hit big rails, or someone who's looking to just rip the mountain and hit big jumps." —Cam
