How It Was Tested

This board was taken out for more than three days in a variety of conditions, ranging from perfect groomers to packed-out powder, and even a deep Pacific Northwest powder day.

The Singular was ridden with Union Conda bindings in a size small and Salomon Dialogue boots in a men’s size 7.

I borrowed the Amplid Singular for an extended demo and sent it back. 1-day demo.

Size: 148 

Days: 3+

Conditions: Perfectly groomed, packed-out powder, and 8+ powder day

Riders: Jordan (W’s 8, 5’6″, 135lbs)

Boots: Solomon Dialogue

Bindings: Yes Conda, Union Triology

Helmet: Oakley MOD1

Goggle: Oakley LineMiner Pro

Jordan’s Set Up: 19.25”-20.25″ Wide. Stance Angles +18/-9. Close to Reference on groomers and set all the way back in powder.

Sizing

I was able to ride the 148 Singular.

This is a true unisex board with an impressive size range extending from a 144 all the way up to a 166.

The 148 is best suited for riders around a women’s size 9 boot, and the size range accommodates riders up to approximately 200 pounds.

Amplid recommends the 148 for riders between 99 and 143 pounds. At around 130 to 135 pounds and 5’6″, I fall right into that recommended range.

In fact, I often ride slightly larger boards, so this sizing felt very comfortable.

Shape & Setback

The Singular features a mildly tapered directional shape.

While the shape appears more directional visually, much of that comes from the board’s aesthetics. The actual taper from nose to tail is fairly subtle, but it does help encourage some tail sink in powder.

At the reference stance, the board offers a one-inch setback from the center.

Amplid also includes a unique Powder Pack setback option. When using this position, the stance width increases from approximately 19.25 inches to 20.5 inches while increasing the setback to roughly 2.125 inches from the center.

I rode the board both at reference and fully set back in powder conditions to evaluate its versatility.

Camber/On Snow Feel

The Singular features an aggressive camber profile that is very close to full camber from tip to tail.

There is only a slight early rise in the nose before the camber continues almost uninterrupted toward the tail.

Although the board is technically directional and slightly setback, it feels remarkably centered while riding. In fact, I often felt slightly forward on the board.

One thing that became apparent quickly was how much rider input this board requires. At slower speeds, I struggled to fully engage and flex the camber profile.

The board really comes alive when speed and force are applied.

Because of this, I’d recommend the Singular primarily for intermediate to advanced riders who are comfortable with camber boards or who have enough weight and strength to fully engage the effective edge.

The on-snow feel is exceptionally damp. Whatever Amplid is doing with the construction of this board, it creates an incredibly smooth and planted ride.

Edge Hold

When I transitioned the Singular onto groomed terrain, I was pleasantly surprised by the edge hold.

Considering there is no edge disruption and only a traditional progressive sidecut, the grip was more than acceptable.

The board felt locked into longer-radius turns while still being capable of tighter-radius turns when enough force was applied.

However, edge hold became more challenging in tighter terrain.

In trees, bumps, and mogul fields, I wasn’t always able to flex the board enough to fully utilize the effective edge. As a result, edge hold suffered.

I believe much of this is related to rider weight. Heavier riders or riders with more leverage and strength will likely have a different experience than I did.

Flex Personality

The Singular sits solidly in the medium to mid-stiff flex category.

The tail requires some effort to manipulate, while the longer nose offers slightly more flexibility.

Overall, the flex feels balanced throughout the board and works well with the aggressive camber profile.

One of the standout characteristics is the board’s rebound.

The combination of camber, carbon stringers, and basalt reinforcement creates excellent energy return. When you load this board up, it gives that energy right back.

Combined with its exceptionally damp ride quality, the result is a board that feels very connected to the snow while still offering plenty of pop.

Switch & Park

One of the major distinctions between an all-mountain board and a freeride board is versatility.

The Singular performs surprisingly well when ridden switch.

Even though it often felt slightly forward while riding regular, it felt comfortable and stable when turned around and ridden switch. Turn initiation remained predictable, and I never felt resistance from the shape.

This board also has excellent pop.

The energy return genuinely surprised me several times, launching me higher off jumps than I expected.

That long, effective edge and stable platform would likely make it an excellent pipe board.

Where the Singular becomes less ideal is on rails and boxes.

While it can certainly be buttered by riders capable of flexing the camber profile, there are softer and more forgiving options available for dedicated jib riding.

Still, for jumps, side hits, and all-mountain freestyle riding, it performs exceptionally well.

Turning/Carving

The Singular features a 7.2-meter sidecut radius, which is actually fairly tight on paper.

However, the turning experience is unique.

This board shines when given space to run.

Open terrain allows you to build speed, pressure the edge, and fully engage the board. In these situations, it produces excellent long-radius turns and feels incredibly confident.

In tighter terrain, however, the board becomes more demanding.

The combination of basalt, carbon stringers, and substantial camber contributes to a stiffer, more powerful ride that requires deliberate input.

One interesting observation came from conversations with other female riders who also tested the board.

All of us noticed that rider positioning significantly affected performance.

Shifting weight slightly toward the rear of the board improved both edge hold and turning performance. Because the board naturally felt somewhat forward, moving slightly back helped stabilize the tail and improve turn completion.

Female riders considering the Singular may want to experiment with stance position and weight distribution to maximize the board’s carving performance.

Base Glide

The Singular comes equipped with a sintered base.

I rode the board first with the factory wax and later with a simple rub-on wax application during a powder day.

Interestingly, I didn’t notice a dramatic difference in glide between the two.

While it wasn’t the fastest base I’ve ever experienced, it delivered perfectly acceptable performance.

With regular tuning and temperature-specific waxes, this base should only improve.

Powder

For an all-mountain board, the Singular performs admirably in powder.

The mild taper, setback options, excellent dampness, and solid base glide all contribute to respectable float.

During a deep Pacific Northwest powder day, I set the board all the way back into the Powder Pack stance to give it every possible advantage.

It maintained speed well and allowed for some really fun slashes in deeper snow.

That said, even fully set back, the board still felt slightly forward.

Because of that sensation, I wouldn’t classify it as a dedicated powder board.

Instead, it excels as an all-mountain board that happens to perform well in powder.

One particularly interesting design element is Amplid’s Powder Pack insert system, which only extends the rear binding inserts rather than both feet.

It would be fascinating to see how the board would feel if additional front insert options allowed even more setback and nose lift.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Amplid Singular offers an exciting glimpse into what unisex snowboards can provide female riders.

It’s fast, fun, stable, and capable across a wide range of terrain.

It holds an edge well, performs confidently on groomers, handles off-piste terrain effectively, and offers enough powder performance to satisfy most riders looking for a true one-board quiver.

Where I encountered challenges was in fully flexing and manipulating the aggressive camber profile at slower speeds.

This became most noticeable in tight trees and heavily bumped-out terrain.

For female riders considering the Singular, I’d recommend either sizing down slightly or ensuring you’re near the upper end of the recommended weight range.

This is a board that rewards speed, strength, and commitment.

When ridden aggressively, it feels fantastic.
