No one can let by the distinctive and unforgettable outline with the big square nose and the halfmoon tail. A scaled up version of the original Mantaray that was long awaited by many riders.
Inheriting the ultimately friction-alleviating rocker line of the original Mantaray, it promises a loose riding feel once submerged in a three-dimensional terrain.
What is Gentemstick?
The Northern Empyrean and all the existence up there, the sun, the moon, and the stars. In other words, the absolute blessing of the raw nature or the natural passage that connects you to everything else. It is like a thick tree trunk that stands tall and straight. No need of questioning the existence, something that stays and will be unchanged, eternally. That is GENTEMSTICK.
PROFILE
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
A full woodcore creates a natural flex and feel.
The snap of bamboo blends natural materials into a supernatural snowboard. More pop, less plastic.
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
This board uses a ISO Sintered base for added speed.
TOPSHEET
Plastic topsheets provide the stifness and impact resistance of a normal topsheet while significantly reducing weight by decreasing the thickness of the topsheet material.
SIDEWALL & EDGES
ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
Gentemstick boards do not come factory tuned, which means they will need to be properly tuned before riding.
