Artec is focused on creating some of the best freestyle snowboards out on the snow. For next season they refined everything is to be better than ever. Check Artec’s 2013 collection!!!

What is different for 2013? New ideas, new materials, new technology?

• We have new board and binding models, like the Figment, featuring asymetrical omega sidecut, and the Gus Engle high backless binding.

Any new models in 2013 collection?

• Yes, and everything is refined to be better than ever.

What is the most excited thing/model in upcoming collection? Why?

• The Gus binding brings street style performance to a whole new level. The Figment is unmatched technical performance. And every other product in the collection is awesome too.

Is your 2013 line more freeride or freestyle oriented?

Rocker vs. camber? Many people are wondering what is better, what to choose. Do you have any explanation perhaps?

• We think choice is the best, that’s why we have 4 different contact profiles- PopTec rocker, AlTec Rocker, FlaTec, and HyperTec Camber.

Most of brands are making some hybrids between rockers and cambers. Will you have something like this for 2013?

• FlaTec and AlTec provide the advantages of rocker with good pop and stability like camber.

Any new core materials? Going lighter? Going stronger?

• We have a new composit core for our Venus model that makes it better than ever for female riders.

Will we go faster in 2013? Any new technologies with base?

• The alphaTec base is lightning fast.

Any new solutions for better grip? Like new ‘anti ice edges’?

• The Figment with omega sidecut provides the loosness of rocker with the prescision resonce of Camber.

Last year lots of brands started producing splitboards. Any special reasons? Will there be a splitboard in your 2013 collection?

Eco friendly is always present when people are talking about snowboarding. Any eco friendly boards in 2013 collection? What is the difference between eco friendly board and a normal one?

• Our wood cores are produced in strict accordance to Europes highest enviromental standards.

What makes you different from other brands?

• We have our own thing going with a cool casual team of awesome riders, our own graphic style, and the best freestyle boards in the world.

Can you sum up your 2013 Board collection in one sentence please.

• Absolute essentials for high performance freestyle shredding.
