Sehr gutes Splitboard
Ich kann mich meinen Vorrednern nur anschließen. Es ist ein tolles Board mit unfassbarem Auftrieb im Powder und guten Pisteneigenschaften.
Zum Aufstieg muss man nicht viel sagen. Es gibt kaum ein leichteres Splitboard.
Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass das Board aufgrund des Leichtbaus nicht ganz so robust ist. Also Obacht bei Steinkontakten ;)

Ich kannte den Brand WESTON vorher nicht; bin aber stark beeindruckt. Leichtmaterial beim Aufstieg und super Fahrgefühl bei der Abfahrt. Super Produkt
Pure LOVE!
Das Board habe ich nach deiner sehr guten telefonischen Beratung (Stephan) in Länge 163, gemeinsam mit einer Voile Light Speed Bindung, und Kohla Fellen bestellt. Am 13.1. bestellt, am 15.1. geliefert und zusammen gebaut. Am 16.1. dann das erste Mal raus. Das Board ist kaum spürbar im Aufstieg und ermöglicht gute Kraftübertragung. Bei steileren Abschnitten rutschte ich totz Steihilfe zwar wag, wo Skitourengeher sich leichter taten aber das lag sicher an meiner noch auszubauenden Technik. Umbau am Gipfel von Ski auf Board was easy und. In Der Abfahrt konnteich das Board im Pow wie auch auf Forstwegen fahrn. Im Pow? Der Hammer! Damn fuckin´floaty! Hatte nie zuvor ein Baord mit so gutem Auftrieb. Am Ziehweg? Kein Unterschied zu einem Solid-Board. Das Board ist dermaßen verspielt und lässt aber auch Carving Schwünge zu...ich grinste vom Berg bis ins Tal! Danke für die Beratung! Echt geiles Zeug! Nie wieder Schneeschuhe! ;)

Splitboard Shape: Directional
Splitboard Flex: Medium
- Strike Wood Core - This is our most high-tec and lightweight splitboard core infusing vertical aluminum stringers and lightweight paulownia wood laminated at 45 degrees to further increase strength.
- Vertical Aluminum - Aluminum is laminated between wood stringers to provide added strength and dampening.
- Carbon Weave - Multi-axis carbon fiber replaces fiberglass to create a lightweight, yet responsive topsheet.
- Directional Multi-Radial Camber Rocker - A gradual increase from the nose to a more aggressive camber radius in the tail provides better pop/dampening on drops and control on bigger lines while reverse camber in the tip and tail help to keep you afloat.
- Split Tech - We don’t skimp on our splitboards. You’ll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kickturn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get - that’s why we balance our splitboards so that they are tail heavy.
- Karakoram Ultra Clips - Ultra Clips deliver unmatched compression between board halves and they are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
- Forged Tips - Stainless steel metal tip and tail pieces protect from damage and increase durability.
- Rooted Inserts - Just like roots help keep a plant grounded, flax reinforcement in areas of the core help increase strength and durability.
- Electra Sintered Base - Carbon additives distribute static friction across the base, creating a more even film of water to glide on and our fastest base.
- UHMW PE Sidewalls - Highly durable sidewall that protects the splitboard's core from impact and increases torsional stability.
- Stitched Tips - Our tip and tail spacers are stitched to the core to provide added durability.
Every season I am contacted by about 3-5 companies if I would like to sell their splitboards. With some of them I can already refuse after a first short research and with some after the first tests. With Cole Karchner from Weston, however, my good feeling was rewarded and the practical test has revealed a real treasure. Weston had contacted me and didn't even tell me her BEST OF. They came along with their request rather plainly. That they are masters of the Multi-Radial Camber Rocker construction and lightweight construction, we only realized on the mountain. Quotation of the team member Stephan:
"Hey why didn't we get to know them before!"
Durability:
You notice it immediately when you take the shape in your hand. It is super light - but still TOPP processed. No filigree layers or endings of the deck sheet, which sometimes look unattractive. A good pop in the bending test.
Driving feeling:
Running! It's the mixture of the Multi-Radial Camber Rocker, because it has not 1 radius, but 3 radii, and the proportion of Camber <-> Rocker. These sizes, paired with the flex, are a lot of adjusting screws for a perfect riding feeling - which you all have to adjust correctly.
What makes it so easy for you as a customer? Just ride and either super or only goes like this...In that case : SUPER!
Ascent / edge hold:
As this is an all-mountain shape, with a moderate radius and good flex, the edge hold is correspondingly very good.
Price / performance:
Of course it is a lot of money, but for this super lightweight construction a very fair price.
Conclusion:
I have tested the Backwoods Carbon with a Spark ARC Pro on numerous camps and it is the lightest SET UP on the market (if you count every gram!) with a lot of durability and no disadvantages.
