   Length - 156,160, and 165 are the current lengths. Waist Width - The board waists are around 120mm, whereas the system is around 340mm. Sidecut - Since the boards uniformly flex, they do not need as dramatic (small) of a sidecut radius as the classic snowboard. The DES sidecut radius is equivalent to the radii used by parabolic skiis, 14m.
