Amplid is a German rider-owned snowboard brand known for pushing shape and material innovation beyond what larger brands are willing to risk. Based in Munich with production in Austria, Amplid builds a relatively small but highly focused range of splitboards that often challenge conventional assumptions about what a touring shape should look like. Their boards are technical, opinionated, and built with obsessive attention to detail.
Amplid Splitboard Lineup
The Amplid split range includes the all-round Freequencer, the ultralight Milligram (one of the lightest production splitboards available), the powder-focused Surf Shuttle, the mixed-terrain Tour Operator, the unique Kodama, and the innovative Metamorph. Each board represents a distinct design philosophy rather than a variation on a single template.

Who Are Amplid Splitboards For?
Amplid suits advanced to expert riders who want something beyond mainstream options. The Milligram Split appeals to ski mountaineers and ultra-light touring enthusiasts; the Freequencer and Tour Operator target experienced all-mountain tourers; the Surf Shuttle is for dedicated powder hounds. Amplid boards reward technical riding and punish sloppy technique.
Amplid Construction Philosophy
Amplid’s Cruise Camber profile — camber with a subtle early rise in the nose — is their signature approach, combining the edge hold of camber with improved float initiation. The Milligram uses an Extruded 4 Base to save weight, while other models use sintered bases for better glide performance. Their Koroyd-core construction in premium models replaces heavy wood with aerospace-grade honeycomb for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
