Product Info
For downhill destruction and lightening speeds the Slash Nahual Snowboard is the obvious choice. A relatively stiff flex and durability boosting carbon fiberglass laminate not only lengthens the lifespan of this deck but also helps preserve its pop, response and agility for days to come. Zero Camber Rocker and a Lightweight Woodcore makes for powerful carving with mega-edge hold, and places rocker in the nose for improved floatation in deep snow. Glide through variable terrain, pop through powder, and carve your way back to the chairlift with east on the Slash Nahual Snowboard under your feet.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Zero Camber Rocker – Predominantly flat, Slash's Zero Camber Rocker is extremely stable and maneuverable, so the board will ride smoothly through uneven terrain. The nose is slightly rockered for improved float.
Flex
Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – Highly responsive and sturdy, great for jumping and taking high speed turns.
Shape
Singular Sidecut – The sidecut features a single radius made for more advanced and intermediate riders who already want to ride fast while having an ample edge hold for carving.
Slick Tip Profile – By reducing the wood thickness and removing the ABS parts at the nose and tail, the board becomes significantly lighter and dampens vibrations.
Ultimate Traction – A small counter radius bump placed in the middle of the board's sidecut results in improved edge hold. In translation, you get more grip on hardpack and ice without needing to put in as much effort, thus reducing fatigue.
Core
Lightweight Woodcore – Made of feather-light dual density Paulownia and Poplar wood with a Beechwood strip down the centerline and the edges for improved grip.
Laminates
Triax Fiberglass – This laminate gives the board a consistent torsional flex, insane pop and heightens response.
Biax Fiberglass – The 0-90 biax fiberglass laminate strengthens the snowboard making it a versatile and strong deck.
Carbonbon – Slash's 100% carbon reinforcement laminate technology extends the lifespan of the deck by making it stronger. Placed between the base and the core, Carbonbon enhances responsiveness, pop, and torsional stiffness.
Landing Strip – Two strips of Kevlar and Carbon are placed from the tail to the inserts and from the nose to the tip of the inserts. This reduces high-velocity quivers.
Base
Sintered HD Base + Factory Wax – Impact resistant, absorbent and dense, the HD base will remain extraordinarily fast when waxed regularly. The deck comes pre-waxed with OneBallJay.
Diamond Stone Finish – Diamond-structured stone grinding occurs on two axes to create a low-friction durable base.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Edges
Steel Edges – Extremely strong and durable edges that can take a beating.

Terrain
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:
Flat
More
Rocker Type
Flat A flat profile is just as you’d expect – flat from near the tip of the board to near the tail. This shape splits the difference between camber and rocker, with more forgiving turnability than a fully cambered board and more precise edging capability than a fully rockered one

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff 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.
