The Shorty Backcountry is the guide’s favorite shape and, at the same time, our easiest-to-ride split for guys who are new to the backcoun- try and variable snow conditions. The Shorty takes them down with a smile on their faces even in the crappiest snow, thanks to the long rockered nose with a surfy reverse. But by no means is it a beginner board. It charges steeps and pillow lines. For 24/25, we updated the design with paulownia inserts in the nose. Shorty Backcountry comes with Phantom Hercules Clips. The Tip-Tail-Rocker with low camber gives you perfect buoyancy and balance in powder. The hook-free Diamond Tail makes turning extremely easy in packed snow. Awarded a “Gear Guide Select 2023” by Backcountry Magazine (US).

OUTLINE

The Shorty features the Diamond Tail, a hook-free design combined with a longer nose for the powder performance of a bigger board – Volume Economy Tech. The result is a forgiving and playful design with plenty of performance when you need it.

BOTTOM SHAPE

We build our snowboards with camber and Tip-Tail-Rocker. We distinguish between standard camber and low camber: with low camber, the centre of the board is slightly elevated and the contact points are further towards the centre. The Shorty has 6 mm camber and is one of the easiest boards to manoeuvre in our range.

CORE

For the Shorty B.C we use ash wood and a minor part poplar in our cores. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar keeps the weight down. There’s paulownia inserts in the nose for better balance.
