Natural Powder Riding


If this snow keeps up we might have to order one of these Gentem Stick special edition boards. The Rocket Fish as it is called has a full bamboo core and is claiming the world's largest nose at 344mm. Combine this with a 145cm length and a fish tail you have one very fun powder board.

Unlike other snowboards this board is made entirely from bamboo including the sidewalls. Therefore requires a little extra attention such as wiping off the moisture, not putting it in direct sun and make sure it is kept in a dry well ventilated place.

Hailing from Japan the guys at Gentem Stick must know how to construct a powder board. Check out their website to see some very interesting board shapes and designs all based on the powder riding theory.
