Ridden by Gigi at the Fieberbrunn stop of the FreerideWorld Tour in 2021, we’ve tweaked the Straight for 22/23to make it more user-friendly.
We’re using a little less wood this year to give it a softer directional flex that is easier to manoeuvre. It’s a hybrid cambered board with a larger, rockered and lifted nose enabling superior floatation and then transitioning to camber between the feet for increased control, stability and manoeuvrability.
Strips of kevlar and carbon fibre run from the inserts to both tips, helping you stick those bigger landings and these wondrous strips also offer stability at high speed, will juice up your ollies and decrease board chatter when riding at speed.
The Backseat CamRock design places rocker in the nose and a slight amount in the tail with positive camber in between. This setback design delivers camber stability and control between the feet and in the tail, with the added float and maneuverability of the rockered nose.
No Plastic but real wood topsheet.
Strips of Kevlar and carbon fiber placed from the inserts to the tips in the nose and tail to support landings and reduce washouts. This design also helps dampen high-speed chatter, offer stability at speed and load up potent ollies.
Triax fiberglass is the time-tested classic. It features a three-way weave of premium fibers with strands running at 45-degree angles. It provides superior pop, consistent torsional flex, and more overall response.
Constructed from four different lightweight wood species—paulownia, spruce, beech and poplar—for a premium core that offers a highly tuned and dynamic feel. It’s flyweight, durable, filled with pop and highly reactive.
Our Sintered quality base is fast, durable and requires less waxing. We believe in using the best possible materials in our boards.
We add a slight diamond-structured stone grind to the base to maximize glide and optimize durability. It eliminates the slow, suction cup feel that comes with one-dimensional base finishes.
Our progressive sidecut design blends many radii and smooth contact points for buttery smooth turn initiation, edge-to-edge transition and edge hold. It’s different for each model and matches the sidecut to the board’s specific camber profile.
This small counter radius (bump) placed in the middle of the board’s sidecut improves edge hold without creating drag or strange edge grip. It adds extra bite on ice and turns regular turns into confident carves.
We build our edges with 35% more steel content than the average. They are simply stronger and more durable than the alternative.
All Slash boards are factory waxed with OneBallJay wax and ready to shred straight out of the wrapper.
Thin, light and surprisingly strong aluminum protectors that cap the base and edge at the tip and tail to protect the board from impacts.
Our Original Identity shape saves material and weight and also stands up without tipping over like rounded boards do!

This is my go to board at Mt Baker, in the 161. If you want to go fast, turn hard, go fatty to flatty and keep above the snow, this is your board. Absolute charger with room to play when needed.

It’s a board for evrey terrain.But I prefer it for powder and big mountain lines.I ride it also in the park and it’s really fun..
