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.
