Volkl Selecta - 2010

Summary:

Powder Heaven!!! A medium-firm flex, tapered shape, swallow tail with powder channel (for all the float of a swallow tail with the flexibility of a standard tail), aramid damping to eliminate chatter and a rocker profile just incase you needed any more float. Tweak the tail with a softer flex to help with rear foot steering in deeper snow and increase the sidecut radius for highpeed railing and you have the ultimate powder board… you had better start saving for that trip to Japan!

Manufacturer's Description:

The ultimate surfboard for powder! The brand new Rocker Shape combined with a pin-tail sidecut provides maximum flotation in the pow. A unique Powder Channel imitates the fin of a surfboard. For ventures near the rocks a 360° Titanium Protector protects the topsheet and wooden sidewalls from damage. Zero powder? A softer pin-tail flex and specifically sintered graphite base make the Selecta carve easily on the groomers. The Selecta is an unobstrusive version of a conventional swallow tail snowboard and rides like the ultimate freeride weapon, regular and switch!
