Anyone that's ridden the Zen will tell you what an amazing board it is. It's versatility in the most varied terrain, from the deepest powder, to chunky icy mixed conditions, is in our opinion unmatched.

Using a mix of lightweight Paulownia cores, epoxy pre-impregnated carbon fibre, and more (that we're keeping a secret), we have taken the original Zen 158, and improved on it, removing 800g from its overall weight, bringing it to about 2.8kg, while keeping many of the same on snow performance characteristics that has made it such a hit. This makes it one of the lightest, most performing touring boards on the market. That's 400g per foot, every step, that you're not lugging up the mountain, so you can do more laps, and have more energy for the ride down.

The Helium isn’t the board you’re going to huck off the biggest hits, or charge the sketchiest ice couloirs, but if you’re looking for the ultimate lightweight powder hunter, that’ll let you do more laps with less effort, you’ve landed on the right board.

(Due to the cores being a natural material, there is a weight variation from board to board)
