How dope is the Charlie Slasher! Freeride pedigree in a rock and roll costume. With a 20mm taper and the FK pow profile (rockered from the front binding to the nose) the Charlie Slasher provides plenty of float in deep snow. The biaxial glass provides a smooth surfy feel, worry not Capita have made sure the tail is stiff enough to slash everything in sight. Capita claim it rides ok switch too… think I’ll leave that for someone else to try.

Manufacturer's Description:

The Flat Kick powder board has been a dream for years. A true tapered tail powder machine engineered to surf the white waves at a price you can afford. With freestyle inspired tip and tail shapes these boards have a single reverse camber area from the insert pack forward to keep your nose above the snowline. A mistake some companies make is engineering powder boards to have full rocker in the tail area as well. This requires more energy in your back leg to keep your tail down for riding fall lines and reduces stability for stomping pow landings. The Charlie Slasher – POW FK has a flat
base from the mid section through the tail to make powder riding easier, conserve your energy, and transition the incredibly tiring powder days into incredible, epic, pow days.
