Gentemstick Slasher II Snowboard

Description

The one and only Slasher model in GENTEMSTICKs original Flat Camber Series has been redesigned after 20 years. While keeping the original bottom design and sidecut radius, the outline and the width has been fully revised. It has inherited the characteristic board-controllability in the deep snow from the original model, while improving its strong carve-ability and has now become an option for larger boots riders who had no option to choose from this particular series.

When riding in powder on traditional cambered boards, the nose drags snow due to its own camber system and eventually would sink into snow. To prevent it from nosediving, the rider is forced to lean back and turn only with the tail. This phenomena also happen in three dimensional terrain.

Like when making a non-gravity turn at the top of a wall, the traditional camber turns convex against the terrain, forcing the edge and the rail to go in a different direction than the targeted line. Once again, the rider is forced to lean back or turn using the edge, restricting the freedom of riding.

This restriction is silly to have on boards for complex terrain. This camber system came from the skiing know-how. Weve adopted it and refined it to match our flat camber system in order to allow freer maneuverability in complex three-dimensional terrain. The weightless sensation when making a top-turn, and resistance-free riding, especially late in a turn, are the distinct characteristics of our flat camber system.
