stripper on coke 0 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Does anyone out there ride a split board ? ? ? Whick maker do you ride ? ? ? have you tried any other brands ? ? ? ? What is your opinion on the whole split board thing (obviously for BC abuse). How do they go on the groomed stuff - usually have to deal with the resorts at some stage.....and lastly, what are they actually like to hike on ? ? Appreciate any info. Cheers...

cute-as-a-button 0 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Whats a split board? (It's not split down the middle perhaps? sounds like skis!) Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Its for skinning up the BC and getting fresh turns. Yes they split and become ski-like. I have no clue which brand is better. Link to post Share on other sites

stumpalama 0 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I have a split board, a Voile 166, burton makes a very nice one as well, apparently. I got a good deal on this witth bindings, (soft boot), crampons and climbing skins. I just got the hard boot bindings for it so I can log some snowboard mountaineering with my Scarpa AT boots. I haven't used the board yet, but it's the best of both worlds... skinning up and one true edge down the mountain. It's not that much heavier than a regular board with bindings. All the reviews I read give it a thumbs up ad they have been in business for a long time. Plus the Burton is Hella expensive! US $850!! OUCH Link to post Share on other sites
