EL GRANDE - THE WIDEST BOARD IN THE WORLD
With the widest board on the market, Elan is proud to introduce a new category set to make riders with larger feet happy as hell - super wide shapes. Easily accomodating boot sizes that other boards shy away from, the super wide shapes feature a significantly reduced width across the nose and tail of the board thanks to Elan's patented Omega Sidecut technology. A straight sidecut has been designed to replace the traditionally rounded shape of a board's tip and tail. Besides reducing the width of the nose and tail, the Omega Sidecut significantly increases rider stability and control when riding, jumping and landing.
 
"I think the idea is brilliant - it's simplicity in its purest form but maybe that's exactly why nobody has done it before. Take the widest board in the world and combine it with the sickest invention snowboarding has seen for a long time: the Omega Sidecut. If you thought a super wide board might be tricky to handle, then think again.", states the Elan International Team Rider Aleksi Vanninen.
 
Packed with torsion-reinforcing Carbon 90 Beam and V2 Sidewalls, the El Grande is easily controllable in all snow conditions and offers performance on a level with any of the narrower boards on the market.
