By altering the number of layers of material that we add into the mould, we are are able to tune the final performance of the TRAMPA decks relevant to the riders weight height & ability. Please use the FLEXOMETER above as a guide to help you choose the right ply board for you. TRAMPA's FLEXOMETER information is to be interpreted as a 'GUIDE ONLY' as there is no fixed rule as to which is the exact right deck for you. The weight, height & ability of the rider will all help determine which is the right sort of deck for you, but of course the most important factor is personal preference as to how the rider wants their deck to feel.... Some riders like it flexi, some like it firm, some like it very very stiff.... It depends on what you are doing on your board, i.e. freestyle, freeride, boarder-cross, altho there is guidance there is no right & no wrong just personal preference but when purchasing a deck from TRAMPA we want to make sure you get it exactly the way you want it! so if your stuck as to which one is the best for you them please drop as a line...
35° HS-11 Original 9-69 TRAMPA Mountainboard or Kiteboard Blank Deck
TRAMPA's 35° HS11 9-69 Brake Deck is the same length & shape as the HOLY PRO Deck, but without the weight-saving holes. These decks have been specially designed for extra clearance between the wheels & deck – allowing MAGURA Brake Kits & Pro Motor Mounts to be fitted.
The MAGURA HS11 Brake system fixes neatly to the specially modified INFINITY & VERTIGO Brake Hangers, but the slight bulk of the Brakes means they need some space around the 'Tip of the Deck' in order to be mounted & operate correctly. Without the extra space given around the 'Tips of the Deck', the brakes will get caught on the side of the Deck, causing damage & stopping the trucks from steering correctly.
Being slightly shorter than the 35° Long BUT slightly longer than the 35° Short, this deck is a good balance in terms of performance & weight for most sized riders.
The 35º HS11 9-69 is available in 4 different flex rates, 14ply being the most flexible & 17ply the stiffest. Please use the FLEXOMETER to find the most suitable deck ply for you.
TRAMPA’s famous range of indestructible Decks are unlike anything else on the market. Tailored to a riders' weight, height & ability – TRAMPA DECKS give unrivaled responsiveness & confidence in the board when riding.
Created to replace dull unresponsive wooden decks & reinvent the off-road riding experience, TRAMPA decks bring a whole new riding-experience. With insane ‘pop’ & shock-absorbing flex, TRAMPA decks are the #1 choice for freestyle riding & comfortable cruising.
Made using a secret re-enforced glass and plastic composite (originally developed for light-weight military applications), TRAMPA decks are indestructible. In 17 years of excessive & harsh testing - pushing the decks to their limits (inside & out of intended applications) - there has never been a single break!
TRAMPA decks are measured in “Ply”, referring to how many layers of ‘secret-composite’ are used when making the deck. A lower ply deck will be flexi-er & lighter than a higher-ply one. Generally we recommend higher ply decks for heavier riders, and lower for lighter riders – but flex, pop, and stiffness are all a matter of taste. Our Ply-ratings range from 11 - 18 in various lengths & shapes – meaning there’s a perfect TRAMPA deck for everyone!
TRAMPA decks have 35°, 15° or 0° Truck Mounting Angles, in order to work with the various steering systems used across different applications.
35° Decks – Work in perfect harmony with TRAMPA’s amazing Spring Trucks – a highly tuneable steering system designed give optimal responsiveness at 35°.
15° Decks – Fit to ATB Skate Trucks – a lightweight & cheaper steering system, perfect for lighter riders & kiteboarders.
0° Deck – Our ORRSOM Longboard Deck uses a special split-tip that allows 12FIFTIES Longboard trucks to be mounted at 3 different heights.
How are they made?
The TRAMPA™ deck is made from a re-enforced glass and plastic thermo composite. Chosen because it gives a superior strength-to-weight ratio, whilst (unlike carbon fibre) remaining flexible. It is able to withstand huge impacts, forces and flex's that would shatter other materials.
Specially formulated, and presented in a thread like format, just like cotton. From there, it’s woven to our desired width, and placed it onto a roll. Pre-shaped, polished-aluminium moulds are used to give the material the dimensions and surface quality we require – this is where we vary the layer quantity of the composite in the mould, & control the amount of flex and pop in the resulting deck, giving us our Ply Ratings.
A special seal is used to create a high-pressured vacuum, then mould is then placed in a special oven to cook for about 2 hours. As the air is sucked out, the heated material becomes fluid – then at the crucial moment heating is turned off and the moulds are cooled, resulting in one solid piece! The decks are then cut out using a high-pressure water-cutter, resulting in a razor sharp finish to the edge of the deck.
The decks are then finished by hand. The binding and grab handle fixing holes are measured and drilled by hand, Metal files are used to take away the sharp edge of the deck and they are then rubbed smooth with a block and various grades of sandpaper.
TRAMPA are happy to announce that we can now offer CUSTOM PAINT JOBS on our decks. We’ve been releasing our parts in an amazing selection of colours - and now it’s time we offer the deck to match!
We’re luckily sited next to an awesome car spray shop, which are happy to take on some of our decks and make them shine! They know their paint, and know techniques for making any colour pop, without adding too much weight to the finished deck - guaranteeing a perfect & even finish that’ll last for years.
We’ve got a wide range of colours for you to pick and choose from, or you can send over a pantone of your own and we’ll match it the best we can!
Custom Sprayed Decks costs £100 extra, and should be ready to ship two weeks from your order.
Ratchet Bindings - Black straps on Black Foam with BRONZE L Brackets & Ratchets
TRAMPA's RATCHET BINDINGS are the number 1 choice of Bindings for Mountain Boarding. The Ratchet Buckle mechanism allows the rider to lever the bindings very tight, much tighter than what is normally achievable compared to other styles, e.g. Velcro Bindings, treating the rider to a locked in & fully connected to the board sensation. TRAMPA Bindings wrap snugly over the top of your foot but firm footwear is advisable.... The EVA Foam Padding is 'Ribbed' & 'TRAMPA Embossed' on the underside of the Footstrap. These fine details helps maintain the foot locked into the Bindings whilst riding over rough terrain.
A Special Hook on the Base of the Ratchet Buckle locates into a special slot on the top of the Footstrap. This clever 3 point connection prevents any movement in the connection of the Straps allowing the rider the confidence in their equipment to concentrate purely on their riding. Although the Ladder strap will ultimately wear over time, it has been re-enforced on both sides at its base, guaranteeing performance when riding.
Stainless steel Dome Headed Bolts connect through the Footstrap into L-Brackets ensuring no discomfort to the foot. The L-Brackets are 'multi positional' allowing the rider the exact foot-stance they require. TRAMPA Bindings are supplied with a Marine grade A4 Stainless Steel deck fixing kit included. Ratchet style bindings are the serious Mountain Board rider’s primary choice binding! Ratchet Style bindings work at their absolute optimum when combined with TRAMPA Heel Straps.
