Quick overview

Feeling the surface of the snow under the plantar arch, once on a 3D terrain, it swims on the snow like a dolphin let loose in the ocean. Let the nose sink for a bit, then use the whole base surface to ollie out from the Pow. Lock the tail in while sliding the board sideways, and drop the nose into the fall line. Stretch out your ankles and grind the lip. It will move in any direction you want it to. This board focuses more to the sensory speed than the actual speed.

Skaters says: "When the halfmoon tail wrenches on the lip, you could almost hear the creak of the trucks!", surfers would say: "The loose sliding almost feels like a twin or a quad fin". From tight trees to small banks on the edge of the course, nothing slips through the range of the Mantaray. Guaranteed to be hooked once you try this board!


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

  • Short camber 1mm

  • 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

  • Plastic / sandwich

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

  • ABS / single

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