Weston Riva Splitboard

While it performs well with traditional soft boot setups, the Riva Carbon is specifically engineered for riders who have transitioned to hard boots. Its lightweight carbon construction and precise, responsive feel are designed to complement the stiffness and efficiency of a hard boot system.

The carbon layup makes this board significantly lighter and more responsive, which is a major advantage for long backcountry tours. However, it is less damp than traditional fiberglass, meaning you will feel more vibration and feedback from the snow, which requires a more controlled, precise riding style.

Yes. The combination of a wide nose and a directional, tapered shape provides excellent float in deep snow, keeping you on top of the surface without needing to lean back excessively.

The Riva Carbon excels in steep, technical terrain where stability and edge hold are critical. Its freeride camber profile is built for high-speed control and navigating variable conditions rather than casual, low-angle touring.

While it is a directional board, the taper is subtle enough that it remains capable of riding switch when necessary. It is designed primarily for forward-facing backcountry riding, but you won't feel locked out if you need to land or ride switch on technical lines.

The board comes equipped with high-end Karakoram UltraClip 2.0 and tip locks, which are industry standards for creating a secure, rattle-free connection between the board halves.
