EQUALS

The Blazes I won up at Splitfest were mediums, but I usually take a large. Looked up the stats on their site and the baseplate length is the same between the M and L, the difference is just in the width. As my wide

Prototype Split Surfboard Spied

This is interesting…I’m not real sure how you’d skin out in the ocean – my guess is some mix of Jesus walking on water and one of those big wheeled floaty Barbie bike things. Looks like it was DIY as well, probably trying to avoid any issues with Voile.

Been wanting to do this post for awhile, but due to time and brain cell constraints it’s been sitting in draft status since this XDL Powder Alert vid. The french/freedom press/unamurrrrcan line I wrote made my brain do it’s ADHD/tangential thinking thing that keeps me up late at night, thinking about how the confluence

2013 Spark R&D Bindings

While the rest of us have been going about our regular 9-to-5s, the inhabitants of a parallel universe that consists of career bloggers, retail buyers, and retail buyer bloggers have spent the past few weeks at Outdoor Retailer, SIA (still going) and various other “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” events.

Sneak Peek: 2012-13 Venture Euphoria

Justin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:43:42 +0000

Just got a press release from Venture Snowboards mentioning next year’s Venture Euphoria. Yup, the Euphoria is back, and she’s looking just a wee bit different after Johan Olofsson had his way with her.

In its latest incarnation, the Euphoria boasts rocker, reverse sidecut, and a swallowtail. A full insert pack allows it to

Splitboard Stats Comparison

36-24-36? HAHA, only if she’s 153. Midnight insomniac fun times. Couldn’t sleep last night, eyes were tired but my body was wired, hoped that looking at numbers would put me to sleep. A-man threw a comment in the other day asking about splitboard price comparisons, which made me think that could be part of

2011-2012 Lib Tech T. Rice splitboard

So the peek at 2011-12 splitboards has been a bit interrupted, apologize for that, ADD kicking in I guess. By now most of these are in your local shop, but for the one guy that lives in Kansas and their local shop doesn’t carry splitboards we’ll press on.

Next up is one that people

Homeschool Snowboarding – 2011 outerwear

Justin — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:18:16 +0000

Came across Homeschool Snowboarding by chance, was reading an article on the Portland Seed Fund’s first investment class, initially thinking maybe it was some form e-learning solution for the next generation of Shaun Whites (note: massive failboat assumption on my part). After learning they were in the North Coast Seed building (note #2: I

G3 Alpinist Splitboard skins

Justin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:12:30 +0000

Ever lust over those skins your skier friends had with the tail connectors while the rear of your skins was flopping around due to poor storage, causing the glue to get that waxy white color and rock hard? If so you’ll dig what Genuine Guide Gear (aka G3) is bringing to market this year

Voile Splitboards 2011-2012

Justin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:42:50 +0000

Next up in the look at 2011-2012 splitboards are the offerings from Voile. Voile took what I think is a surprising twist and are again only offering one board, but in four different lengths. I find it surprising as a few years back they had a deeper product line, and I know there are
