Japow Splitboard - 26/27

Deep days only? Hell no. This swallowtail hunts pow wherever it falls. The Japow Splitboard is Weston’s legendary pow-chaser turned backcountry touring machine - a directional, swallowtail split built for riders who dream in cold smoke and live for the deepest days of the year. But don't let the name fool you - this isn’t just a Japan trip souvenir. The Japow Split is just as at home on blower storm days in the Tetons or ghosted tree runs in the Cascades. Its wide nose, deep sidecut, and signature swallowtail shape deliver unmatched float without sacrificing control. That tapered design keeps your nose planing effortlessly, reduces back-leg burn, and makes tight trees feel like wide-open bowls. The tail sinks, the nose rises, and the board slashes with a surfy, playful feel that transforms the steep and deep into a powder playground. Under the hood, the Slayer Split Core uses poplar for lightweight touring performance reinforced with bamboo stringers for strength and pop. Tail V Carbon Inserts keep it snappy and responsive, while the Sintered Durasurf 4001 Base keeps you moving when the exit track turns flat. Built with SplitTech inside edges and tail-shifted balance for easier kick turns and smoother touring, UHMW sidewalls, and a Rugged Topsheet, the Japow Split is designed to take a beating and keep floating. Developed and tested with Weston athletes and guides, the Japow Split is backed by our 4-Year Warranty and support through the Board Slayer Program. If you're the type who checks storm cycles before checking emails, this is your backcountry powder predator.

We feel that these provide sufficient traction and coverage, but if you feel the need for 100% base coverage, consider the OSFA trim to fit option.
