By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Hovercraft Splitboard
The Hovercraft Splitboard is an exceptional board for deep powder days. Its buoyancy allows for effortless gliding on the surface, making it a dream to ride. The board’s fluid turn initiation and precise control make navigating icy steeps a breeze. With its tapered directional shape, the rear sinks in powder while the colossal nose weightlessly floats and glides across the snow. Even in less-than-ideal conditions, the responsive camber ensures aggressive carves and a secure grip on crusty tracks.
Details
This backcountry board is specifically designed for traversing mountain steeps. Its directional rocker provides a buoyant and smooth ride on powder, along with exceptional traction on the track. With its mid-stiff flex, you can ride fast without sacrificing stability. The blunt nose effortlessly pushes snow away, providing the necessary lift for maneuvering through thinner areas. The progressive sidecut allows for long and seamless carves in powder. The board is equipped with FSC Classic and V-Core technology, offering added pop, stability, and easy maneuverability. With both inside and outside traction tech, slicing through hardpack is effortless. The sintered 8000 base ensures a fast glide over snow, resembling a jet soaring through the sky.
