Furberg Pow Split

Description

The Pow Split was designed with one goal in mind; to outperform every other splitboard on the deepest days.

Its long full rocker in combination with reverse sidecut in nose and tail makes it effortless to ride. To further improve the performance in powder we have added a small fishtail, but kept the tail high enough to still make it possible to land switch every now and then. This board can charge hard in all conditions despite its powder specific shape.

Long turning radius

It is standard to use a longer turning radius on a freeride ski than on a slalom ski in the skiing industry; however, Furberg Snowboards is the only brand to adapt the turning radius for freeride snowboards. A longer turning radius generates better stability at higher speeds and, more importantly, gives the boards a calmer and more forgiving behavior by distributing the edge pressure over the entire contact length.

Flat Camber

For maximum flotation without losing responsiveness and grip.

Long Rocker and Reverse Sidecut radiuses

When a board is ridden flat on the snow, a long rocker transition will make the nose of the board impact irregularities with a low angle of incidence and slide over with little resistance. Many snowboard brands are aware of this, but only we have combined the rocker with a reverse sidecut in nose and tail to maintain this low angle of incidence when riding the board on edge.

The long transitions of the reverse sidecut make the board turn more effortlessly since the typical pressure points at the end of the effective edge do not exist. The overall result is a very catch-free and surfy board.

Long and high nose

Increases flotation and makes the board slide over irregularities in the snowpack with less resistance. The very last part of the nose also has a slightly steeper angle to make touring with our splitboards easier.

This is the last of the pre floorboard edge versions. We can package up with skins and bindings if required.

S+W Verdict:

“Pow tactic! Great shape and flex, perfect for Japan backcountry!”.
