Shape: Directional All-Mountain

The Slam is a directional all-mountain board that soars in deep snow and rips big mountain lines. Like its namesake form of poetry, the Slam is all about action, performance and passion. A deck built to thrive in all conditions, its broad nose is powder-friendly, and the slight sidecut serration gives a punctuated grip on groomers, hardpack and ice. An early-rise camber profile blends beautifully with a slightly stiffer tail, creating directional stability and responsiveness. The Slam is equally adept at straight-lining big mountain lines and manoeuvring tight turns when you need to. It's a one-stop shop for expressing your unique voice on the mountainsides. 

Included in Snowboard Canada Magazine as a TOP ALL-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARD during the "Grade Eh Board Test!"

The Slam can be made in a SOLID or SPLIT configuration.

These are not your average planks. Our skis and snowboards are handmade on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The components for our snowboards and skis are built in-house with an acute eye for detail, allowing us to maintain strict quality control over every build that leaves our shop.

Many of the larger snowsport companies use a foam core that is injected into the shell of the ski/board. Our boards are hand-built with grade AAA Poplar Wood Cores, which are vertically laminated and knot-free, giving our boards higher performance and longer life over foam-injected cores.

We then add a layer of VDS ("Vibration Dampening System”) rubber for balanced dampening and a composite layer (with the option of adding a carbon fibre layer for increased performance) to improve torsional stiffness and responsiveness. This creates a well-balanced core that translates vibration evenly throughout each piece.

Our signature Carbonium Topsheets are reinforced with tough, carbon-textured PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate) material to make your boards last longer and look better.

Every snowboard is finished with extreme care, leaving a lasting impression on every piece we build.

We only use premium-quality composites, including carbon fibre and fibreglass, to tailor the flex and feel of your snowboard. Specific fibre weave and orientation are chosen to maximize performance and feel in each shape we build.

While offering a very smooth ride, these materials and construction offer the responsiveness required in a high-performance ski or snowboard, giving you a premium tool that will outperform and outlast your average snowboard.
