Best powder-focused splitboard for intermediate riders seeking deep backcountry surf.
This is a specialized tool built exclusively for chasing deep, untouched powder in the backcountry. Its high-volume shape delivers incredible float and nimble, surf-like turns in the trees, but that aggressive design makes it a struggle on variable, hard-packed terrain. It’s a one-trick pony, but it performs that trick better than almost anything else.
