Gentemstick XYZ Chopstick Splitboard 2024

"XYZ Chopsticks", named after Alex Yoder Zigzag, is a split model that has emerged from a mature board design with a bottom rocker that was renewed in the 20-21 season.

The all-mountain freestyle XYZ Chopstick allows for deep carving and smooth gliding, making it easy to approach remote, pristine slopes as well as sidecountry ski slopes. This is a board you'll want to enjoy with its combination of accelerator camber and round tail, which creates a feel that sets it apart from the Mantaray family.

Features:

• Stainless Steel Edges: Extremely durable and provides optimal grip and in all conditions.

Profile: Directional Camber

Camber underfoot with a bit of rocker lift in the nose gives you the ultimate best of both worlds for a pow ready board that holds up in any condition.
This board bend has entry rocker that adds lift to the nose while a camber section under both feet maintains momentum and stability through deep-driving turns and variable conditions. This bend caters to those who like the attributes of traditional camber but want something that will get up to speed and float easier in pow.


Shape: Directional Tapered

Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.
