Gentemstick XYZ Chopsticks 157 22/23

€1,389.95

Quick overview

The intention for the Gentemstick XYZ Chopsticks was to blend the masculine with the feminine. The width is for deep carving, the length is ideal for deeper conditions and steeper terrain, the side-cut is meant to feel natural and gentle from turn to turn and the nose and tail are designed to maximize all of these features. A board that can smile at the devil, glide smoothly at high speeds and gently caress every curve of the mountain.

PROFILE

  • Acceleration camber (set back camber) 4mm
 
  • Shape

The shaping is the most essential factor in board design. The beauty of snowboard design is to create an ideal three-dimensional curve resulting from a harmonizing outline, bottom-line and the actual warping of the board when riding it. GENTEMSTICK's commitment is to create a shape that allows a smooth and stable riding whether in powder or on packed snow. In order to realize this concept, we have adopted classical designs, such as swallowtails, which were already established in the '70s, and modern designs driven by our own experiences.


CORE

  • Wood

A full woodcore creates a natural flex and feel.

  • Soul

Having been involved in the snowboarding circle and its promotion for a long time, I could not help feeling awkwardness in the industry. It wasn’t hard for me to turn my back to the temptation and to return alone to the quiet mountain slopes where freedom reigned. When standing in a company’s meeting room or in front of the media with weird glimmer eyes, my thoughtful soul kept telling me to avoid the dangers. Whereas, on the slope, all I had to do is to be alert of the outstanding risks, trust my instinctive decisions and act upon it. I could just be and exist there, just as naturally as the birds circling above me, or as fish swimming along the river flow, and find the one real line to ride.


BASE

  • ISO sintered black

This board uses a ISO Sintered base for added speed.


TOPSHEET

  • Bamboo / sandwich

Using a bamboo for a topsheet dampens the ride and offers chatter-free performance. The natural material also eliminates some plastic and lacquer which improves board sustainability.


SIDEWALL & EDGES

  • ABS / progressive

ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.

  • Needs tuning

Gentemstick boards do not come factory tuned, which means they will need to properly tuned before riding.
