What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I rode this through a park lap that turned into hitting every side hit and roller on the way down, and the Bamboosters gave it way more pop than I expected off small features. The Titanal plates kept things locked in once I picked up speed on the runout, so nothing ever felt chattery."
The Beatnik Snowboard from Armada thrives on the days when the mountain turns into one long feature line, side hits blending into berms blending into whatever catches your eye next. Its directional twin shape rides switch just as easily as forward, so committing to a line never means committing to a direction, and the early rise nose and tail keep things playful without giving up edge hold when the terrain gets serious.
Underfoot, the Pop-Lownia Core and Bamboosters turn ordinary bumps into pop, giving every ollie and ramp a little extra snap that rewards riders willing to send it. Biax Glass laminate keeps the flex soft enough to stay fun rather than fighting back, while Titanal Impact Plates sit right under the bindings to absorb chatter and impact when speed picks up and things get loud. A sintered base holds wax well and keeps glide fast from the first chair to the last lap, rounding out a board built to turn instinct into movement.

What Skiing Will Become
Founded in the 2000s, Armada was created by a generation of skiers who wanted to redefine the sport. Two decades later, Armada still builds products that reflect the freedom and fun of modern skiing.
Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose an Armada Beatnik Snowboard size for my weight and boot size?
Use the board’s rider-weight guidance as your starting point, then account for boot size: the 157W and 161W are the wider options for larger boots. A shorter size favors quicker handling and park riding, while a longer size favors stability and float.Where does the Armada Beatnik perform best across resort terrain?
The Beatnik suits all-mountain freestyle riding, from groomer turns and side hits to park laps, street features, and powder approached with a freestyle style. Its directional-twin shape supports riding across varied resort terrain.How does the Beatnik’s directional-twin design compare with a more directional snowboard?
The directional twin balances freestyle handling with all-mountain versatility, making it a strong choice for riders who mix park features, resort laps, and occasional powder. Its rocker-camber-rocker profile pairs a more forgiving feel at the ends with camber response underfoot.What bindings and stance work with the Armada Beatnik Snowboard?
Choose snowboard bindings that match your boot size and fit the Beatnik’s 2x4 insert pattern. The board’s centered stance and zero setback support a freestyle-oriented setup; adjust binding angles and stance width to suit your riding.How should I care for the Armada Beatnik between snow days?
Dry the base, edges, and binding hardware after riding, and wax the base regularly to suit the snow conditions. Inspect the edges, base, screws, and inserts periodically, then store the board clean and dry indoors.
