Get back in the woods--immediately! The Weston Backwoods Splitboard is Weston's idea of the perfect splitboard. It's designed to flourish in every condition you're likely to find on your adventures, with a solid freeride shape, medium/stiff flex, and bomber construction. There's plenty of pow float built in to this lightweight board, with a rockered nose and a bit of taper along its length. Camber in between your feet help grip on hardpack and skin tracks, and all the little split-specific tech bits add up to a perfect splitboard. You can only ride one at a time, so you may as well get one as versatile as the Backwoods!
Directional Freeride Camber – Subtle rocker in the nose and tail provide additional float without losing stability. Camber underfoot provides confident edge hold and pop.
Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional Freeride with Slight Taper
91% Poplar / 9% Bamboo – Sustainably harvested, this blend keeps the board smooth and powerful.
Tip to Tail Carbon – Carbon fiber run through the entire core from tip to tail to provide added pop and response.
Tri-Axe Glass – Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
Polyurethane – Polyurethane is poured during construction to form a single, unified piece of sidewall wrapping around the entire core for increased strength and durability. Because of this process, it also creates less waste material than other sidewall options.
Boltless Base
Sintered Durasurf 4001 – The gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered bases have a higher density than other options on the market, and are therefore more durable. Additionally, it absorbs more wax, making for a faster and smoother ride. 4000-series PTEX is usually reserved for only top-of-the-line boards due to a higher manufacturing cost, but at Weston it’s the minimum standard.
Rugged Topsheet – Polymide is eco friendly and made from castor beans. The topsheet is durable and resistant to scratches and scuffs.
Karakoram UltraClips and Active Joining – Karakoram UltraClips and Tip-Locks use Active Joining to spring load the seam of your splitboard, eliminating the rattling shearing, and rolling inherent to passive slip-fit connections. Simply close the lever to lock in the most responsive ride.
Stitched Tips
Forged Tips
Rooted Inserts – The odds of pulling out inserts on a snowboard are about zero, but just to make sure Weston have reinforced all of the inserts areas with precision-cut sheets of flax. This improved durability and naturally dampens chatter. Additionally, flax is a sustainable crop and is good for the environment.
Split Tech – Weston doesn't skimp on their splits. You'll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kick-turn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get - that's why Weston balance's their splits so that they are tail heavy.
