The forecasts for the season are here and the results are in: surf's up in the mountains my dudes. Big pow swells are coming and you need the proper board to ride them. Grab the Weston Japow Splitboard and harvest dreamy soul surfing powder turns long after the resorts are tracked out. And if you're confined to the boundaries for a day or two here and there, go lay down some hip dragging turns on the groomers, the Japow won't mind. This is the ideal backcountry powder ride for romps through glades of Japanese maples or straightline assaults of Wasatch chutes.

Karakoram UltraClips and Active Joining – Karakoram UltraClips and Tip-Locks use Active Joining to spring load the seam of your splitboard, eliminating the rattling shearing, and rolling inherent to passive slip-fit connections. Simply close the lever to lock in the most responsive ride.

Rooted Inserts – The odds of pulling out inserts on a snowboard are about zero, but just to make sure Weston have reinforced all of the inserts areas with precision-cut sheets of flax. This improved durability and naturally dampens chatter. Additionally, flax is a sustainable crop and is good for the environment.
Split Tech – Weston doesn't skimp on their splits. You'll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kick-turn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get - that's why Weston balance's their splits so that they are tail heavy.
