Its 3D nose floats the Vertical through powder with ease and there are our Float Inserts to let you set back when it’s extra deep. A tapered tail eases powder steering and a fully cambered profile Rally pistes and float when it’s extra deep for extra HELL YEAHS! CAMBER - A tried and true camber profile that offers a precise feel, predictable turns, solid edge hold, suspension, and powerful pop. Traditional camber distributes weight evenly and offers a progressive flex pattern. FLEX RATING – 5 3D LIFT - Now in its 3rd year for the Vertical and debuting in the 22/23 ATV, 3D lift pulls the tip (and tail) of the board away from the snow. Heavier scoop in the Vertical’s nose for extra float and now more subtly in the ATV’s tip & tail, akin to a dog’s ears, it provides more butterability and extra float. BURIED TREASURE - This is our ultimate truss of carbon, Kevlar and basalt fibers. The effect is lightness because the connecting strength of fiber allows us to slim the core’s thickness. With our strategic placement this gives certain liveliness to the board by adding response to the tips and leaving torsional softness between the feet. TRI-AX FIBERGLASS - Triax fiberglass is the time-tested classic. It features a three-way weave of premium fibers with strands running at 45-degree angles. It provides superior pop, consistent torsional flex, and more overall response. POP WOODCORE - Arranged with premium strips of poplar for a lightweight and smooth flex with added beech hardwood stringers tip to tail through the inserts for power transfer and durability. SINTERED 7200 - Our Sintered quality base is fast, durable and requires less waxing. We believe in using the best possible materials in our boards. DIAMOND STONE FINISH - We add a slight diamond-structured stone grind to the base to maximize glide and optimize durability. It eliminates the slow, suction cup feel that comes with one-dimensional base finishes. PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT - Our 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. TAPERED SHAPE - The width of the nose is greater than the tail width. Tapered directional shape is usually designed to provide the best float in powder – promoting the tail to sink and the nose to rise. FLOAT INSERTS - An extra set of inserts set way back for those super deep days. STEEL EDGES - We build our edges with 35% more steel content than the average. They are simply stronger and more durable than the alternative. Slash Vertical Snowboard 2025
