The Switchback splitboard is Westons basic workhorse designed to give you your first handshake with the backcountry and the terrain most commonly sought after long turns in powder & open bowls. Following a classic freeride shape and utilizing our Freeride camber-dominant profile the Switchback has camber underfoot, a longer reverse camber nose, and a hefty 40mm stance setback. This is all designed to maintain float in deep snow and provide reliable edge hold on crud. With its pure poplar wood core, the Switchback isnt as light as our Ridgeline but it delivers a smooth and energetic ride, slightly softer flex, and an approachable price point. As with all Westons splitboards, they shift the touring bracket forward to make kick-turns a breeze and on this model we utilizePhantom Hercules Hooks, installed with their holeless base technology, to help create the most responsive ride thats balanced with simplistic durability.
