Gentemstick Barracuda HP Snowboard 2024

Don't be intimidated by the Gentemstick Barracuda HP 157 Snowboard, it's the most versatile fish tail board in their line up. Its high performance core and slightly narrower waist width than its siblings deliver a ride that shreds almost any snow you can find. Smooth nose rocker, a shallow fish tail, and perky accel camber elevate the tip of the board in powder for optimal float performance that holds an edge with ease even in hard pack. A mid-length board for people looking for a bit of everything, the Gentemstick Barracuda HP 157 tears up the snow, on the good days and the bad.

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

A smooth, reliable ride.

Directional shapes generally feature a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail. These shapes thrive in an all-mountain environment, as they possess the ability to ride more smoothly than their twin-tip counterparts and behave more reliably in variable snow conditions, anywhere from choppy snow to deeper powder. More twin-looking directional shapes where the difference between nose and tail appear minimal will perform best as crossover freestyle snowboards for those looking to still access the park, while more exaggerated differences will excel for additional float in deep powder.

Flex: 4-6 (Scale 1 - 10)

Versatility at its finest. From the park to the peak and anywhere in between.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases
