A tapered directional swallowtail running 317-262-292 mm at 159 cm carries 25 mm of taper and no setback at all, because a cut tail sinks on its own rather than needing the stance moved back. At 3,103 g per board in a 159, on a poplar and bamboo core with a single carbon stringer running from the inserts to the tail, the Japow is built to float and slash rather than to hold an edge on a firm sidehill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan\u003eRatings and sizing guidance verified against manufacturer specifications.\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"ccbb-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eIs This the Right Splitboard for You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-grid ccbb-grid-2\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-card\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-card-title\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-quick-answer\"\u003eRiders whose season is deep storm days and tight trees, who want a swallowtail that planes the nose without a set-back stance, and who already own something else for spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-card\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-card-title\"\u003eConsider Another Splitboard If\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-quick-answer\"\u003eYour season includes spring couloirs, firm sidehills or long icy traverses.

A 317 mm nose, 25 mm of taper on every size and a swallowtail that lets the board run 0 mm of setback make it plane and slash in snow deep enough to bury a cambered board, and at 3,103 g per board in a 159 it costs little weight against the all-round Backwoods at 3,392 g. What it gives up is firm-snow edge hold, which the 9.0 \/ 6.9 m dual radius and powder profile make plain. As a second board for storm cycles it is an easy call, and as an only board it suits riders whose winter is reliably deep.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weston","offers":[{"title":"149","offer_id":48876663275677,"sku":"27.006.125.149","price":1384.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"154","offer_id":48876663308445,"sku":"27.006.125.154","price":1384.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"159","offer_id":48876664488093,"sku":"27.006.125.159","price":1384.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"164","offer_id":48876664520861,"sku":"27.006.125.164","price":1384.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"169","offer_id":48876664553629,"sku":"27.006.125.169","price":1384.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/weston-japow-splitboard-topsheet-and-base-view_93347f0a-ca7e-4d74-a061-0e65b17001cd.jpg?v=1788905275","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/en-ca\/products\/weston-japow-splitboard-1","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
