Specs & what they mean

What the Prodigy 4's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A long 22.0-meter radius is built for open, sweeping turns that want room to run; a moderate taper keeps the shovel engaged for hold at speed rather than quickness.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. Even without metal, 2,200 g gives it a planted, substantial feel underfoot.

Float & width

At 116 mm this is a powder width, built to stay on top in deep snow and surf rather than carve. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
