The Artifact is a cornerstone of the Rome Board Collection thanks to its jib-happy flex profile and utterly too fun park performance. With the reliable power of Stay Positive Camber, Flax Impact Plates, a pressable flex profile, and the locked-in feeling that only Double Kick provides, the Artifact is a pure park annihilator. Park rats, van dwellers, stair shovelers, and jib kids everywhere know, the Artifact is the truth.

Shape: True Twin - Boards built with fully symmetrical specs; sidecuts, flex patterns and nose and tail lengths. True twin boards are great for freestyle riding and progression.

Core: Stomp Core - Our most stable and predictable core, built with 100% Poplar construction.
Fiberglass: Biax Fiberglass - Fiberglass with two different axes, built to be more torsionally playful and pressable.

FEATURES
Twin Single Bamboo HotRods - Invented by Rome, HotRods are thin rods milled into our boards’ cores starting from the insert pack and extending out towards the nose or tail. Designed to provide next level explosive pop, power and response.
Flax Impact Plates - Flax is a natural, incredibly versatile, lightweight textile material that we use in our boards. Depending how the flax material is used, it has advanced impact absorption properties or the ability to create rigidity and strengthen specific regions of a board.
Double Kick - Used on freestyle-oriented boards, Double Kick is an aggressive, two-part rise in the boards nose and tail. Designed for locked in presses, torsional stability and riding away from sketchy landings.
