Prior Pow Stick - 2011
Everybody loves a swallow tail, because for super deep powder days there is no better snowboard. Enjoy the benefit of reduced volume in the tail for effortless powder floatation but without the loss of effective edge for railed out carves. The piece-de-resistance for any Champaign powder connoisseur.
Manufacturer's Description:
The Pow-stick is the king of big mountain directional powder boards. This rocket ship is the result of years of R & D culminating in a nose shape/profile that allows for effortless floatation and a swallowtail for even weight distribution to eliminate back leg burn in the deepest powder. And, don’t deny it until you try it, this board is one of the best carving decks on the mountain. Its unique tail shape gives a fun, snappy finish from turn to turn.
Surf it, carve it, rip it – it’s good to be the king.
