The Vertical Split has two tip-to-tail Landing Strips of carbon fibre and Kevlar additives for power and stability whether the board is split or solid.
Its ice-slicing Traction Bump and S-Line touring edges down the middle of the board provide shear force when put together and add bite to all four edges, even on sketchy traverses. Built using locally grown supplies of poplar wood and beech Hardwood stringers makes it lightweight and powerful too.
Also for 22/23, we’re introducing the Union Hooks & Clips Pro to the Vertical Split, meaning they’ll stand the test of time even better than before.
A tried and true camber profile that offers a precise feel, predictable turns, solid edge hold, suspension and powerful pop. Traditional
camber distributes weight evenly and offers a progressive flex pattern.
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.
Arranged with premium strips of poplar for a lightweight and smooth flex with added beech hardwood stringers tip to tail through the inserts for power transfer and durability.
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.
The width of the nose is greater than the tail width. Tapered directional shape is usually designed to provide the best float in powder – promoting the tail to sink and the nose to rise.
Top quality Union Hooks & Clips for our splitboards. Aluminium CNC Clips with Nylon Covers & Clips for an optimal connection, making two become one.
S-Line split edges down the middle of the board are dual purpose; providing shear force when put together and added bite to the outside edge when in hike mode on icy skin tracks. Quite like our Traction Bump.
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!

Tommy Wolf –
The Vertical Split floats good through powder and is easy to manoeuvre through treelines. The shape is making the board very fun to ride with the big nose, a good amount of setback and the tapered tail.
The camber profile combined with strips of kevlar and carbon fibre are providing good support when conditions are a bit more challenging. It is a lightweight board too, which saved me lots of energy on climbs.
