Even if you don't take plane to Asia to find it, Japow is a dream every rider hopes to experience one day - bottomless fluff with nightly refills is the stuff legends spring from, and there's no better board to enjoy it on than the Weston Japow Splitboard, Whether you're shredding the BC options on Hokkaido or checking out the touring options in Revy, the Japow Split provides the surface area and splitboard technology to get you out there and get you down with a smile.
Directional Powder Camber – A large reverse-camber nose provides maximum float in deep snow while traditional camber underfoot provides a reliable edge hold.
Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional Swallowtail
91% Poplar / 9% Bamboo – Sustainably harvested, this blend keeps the board smooth and powerful.
Tri-Axe Glass – Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
Tail V Carbon – Carbon fiber from the tail inserts to the tail contact points to provides added edge to edge response and spring in the tail.
UMHW PE – Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has one of the highest impact strengths of any plastic out there, which means it can take a beating and look as good as new. For additional durability, the tip and tail sections are stitched to the core for a tighter bond.
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 – 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.
Skin Attachments – Tip holes (for Pomoca Z-Clips) and tail notches.
Shifted Touring Bracket Position
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.

The Spark R&D Arc ST Splitboard Bindings have improved dramatically over time, with their ST (Smooth Touring) overmolded design making the bindings super quiet and virtually friction free. Now the Spark R&D Arc ST Pro Splitboard Bindings up the ante with Pebax® (a plastic commonly used in AT ski boots) straps, ladders and adjusters, lighter but equally strong 7075 Aluminum heel loops, and re-designed hardware with Hex head and better anchoring at the heel loop.
Hollow Pivot Pins – Made with stainless steel and hollowed out to be 33% lighter than standard pins
Improved ST (Smooth Touring) Mode – Spark injection molds a proprietary thermoplastic over existing aluminum or steel parts in a process called "overmolding," reducing friction and improving durabillity.
ST Whammy Bars – Overmolded plastic blend where the climbing wire meets the baseplate to eliminate stickiness. (Note: not backward compatible with previous Arc, Surge or other older models)
ST Touring Brackets – Overmolded with low-friction proprietary plastic over and through the bracket holes in the aluminum base - strong, smoother pivoting, and lasts 4 times longer than the old brass bushing.
CNC Machined Baseplates – CNC machined baseplates remain solid for max stiffness and durability. All of the baseplate side windows have been partially filled to increase durability and strength
7075 Aluminum Heel Loops – 7075 Aluminum heel loops are thinner and lighter than our standard heel loops while maintaining the required strength.
Pebax® Pillow Line Straps, Ladders and Adjusters – Pebax® is a plastic commonly used in high-end alpine touring ski boots, It is stiff, tough and 20% lighter than the standard material used.
Proven Burton Buckles
Carbon Reinforced Asym Rip 'N' Flip Highbacks – Asymmetrical design features individual left and right highbacks that slope inward matching the rider’s stance / The upper section is flatter for improved lateral mobility / More material at the base for increased longevity and durability / Higher bottom edge won’t snag on boots with crampon welts or soles that wrap high on the heel
Flippin’ FLAD toggles between your forward lean angle and -13° touring position for easy transitions.
Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.

Glide – This exclusive process gives ski tourers extra glide with less effort. This treatment, applied at the end of the production process and to to entire length of the fiber, makes the skin glide and resist moisture more effectively. Skins with Glide offer an effective process for the entire life of the skin, and unique anti-glopping performance.
