Product Info
This euphoria-inducing stick is the chosen one for pulverizing the mountain with your dominant stance. The Slash Brainstorm Snowboard is still plenty comfortable rolling down the landing switch, but it's setup with a Backseat Camrock profile and the featherweight Forever Woodcore to prioritize its ability to burn laps and shralp pow respectively. Gorge yourself on speed, joy-carves, and pillow lines the Slash Brainstorm Snowboard.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Backseat CamRock – The Backseat CamRock design places rocker in the nose and a slight amount in the tail with positive camber in between. This setback design delivers camber stability and control between the feet and in the tail, with the added float and maneuverability of the rockered nose.
Flex
6 – (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
Directional Twin
Progressive Sidecut – Slash's progressive sidecut design blends many radii and smooth contact points for buttery smooth turn initiation, edge-to-edge transition and edge hold. It's different for each model and matches the sidecut to the board's specific camber profile.
Ultimate Traction – This small counter radius (bump) placed in the middle of the board's sidecut improves edge hold without creating drag or strange edge grip. It adds extra bite on ice and turns regular turns into confident carves.
Core
Forever Woodcore – Constructed from four different lightweight wood species -- paulownia, spruce, beech, and poplar -- for a premium core that offers a highly tuned and dynamic feel. It's flyweight, durable, filled with pop and highly reactive.
Laminates
Triax Fiberglass (Top Layer) – Triax Fiberglass is a three-way weave of fiberglass with strands running at 45° angles. It provides superior pop, consistent torsional flex, and more overall response.
Biax Fiberglass (Bottom Layer) – Biax Fiberglass is a two-way weave of fiberglass with strands running every 90°. It's more forgiving, easier to flex and highly versatile for all terrain types.
Buried Treasure – Combination of carbon, Kevlar® and basalt fibers. With Slash's strategic placement this gives certain liveliness to the board by adding response to the tips and leaving torsional softness between the feet.
Base
Sintered Base – This sintered base is fast, durable and requires less waxing. Slash believes in using the best possible materials and refrains from using cheaper, low-density extruded material in their boards.
Belt Finish – The belt finish gets your base optimized before it's fully waxed.
Factory Waxed by One Ball Jay – All Slash boards are factory waxed with One Ball Jay wax and ready to shred straight out of the wrapper.
Edges
Steel Edges – Slash builds their edges with 35% more steel content than the average. They are simply stronger and more durable than the alternative.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
