The Slash Vertical is the evolution of our Straight Snowboard, complete with 3D in its nose for helping to stick steep & deep landings.
Camber between the feet gives increased control stability and maneuverability and strips of carbon fiber run from the inserts to both tips offering stability at high speed, juiced up ollies and decreases board chatter when riding at speed.
Graphic: Introducing the Blank series from Slash. Boards made with a clean and timeless design to live on snowboard shop shelves indefinitely. Strikingly subtle, yet bright and bold. The black lines on the edges signify the board's effective edge and Gigi's added loads of techy info for shop staff on the top sheet: stiffness rating, camber profile, camber type and symbols to signify contact points, axis point and set back inserts.
TopART brings graphics to life from our favourite artists, and it’s an easy DIY job that’ll make your board stand out from the crowd.

Gold: Bling bling baby with a golden glow
Silver: For if silver bling is your thing
Devil: We analyzed newest market research surveys to create with our creative creation department this sick graphic, throwing back to our 2013 Happy Place design making this the Slash product you really want!

Blotto: Legendary photographer Blotto has been shooting Gigi for 2 decades, so it was only natural we let him loose on TopART
A tried and true camber profile that offers a precise feel, predictable turns, solid edge hold, suspension and powerful pop. Traditionalcamber distributes weight evenly and offers a progressive flex pattern.
FLEX
INGREDIENTS
3D LIFT
Now in its 3rd year for the Vertical and debuting in the 22/23 ATV, 3D lift pulls the tip (and tail) of the board away from the snow. Heavier scoop in the Vertical’s nose for extra float and now more subtly in the ATV’s tip & tail, akin to a dog’s ears, it provides more butterability and extra float.
BURIED TREASURE
This is our ultimate truss of carbon, Kevlar and basalt fibers. The effect is lightness because the connecting strength of fiber allows us to slim the core’s thickness. With our strategic placement this gives certain liveliness to the board by adding response to the tips and leaving torsional softness between the feet.
TRI-AX FIBERGLASS
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.
POP WOODCORE
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.
SINTERED BASE 7200
Our Sintered quality base is fast, durable and requires less waxing. We believe in using the best possible materials in our boards.
DIAMOND STONE FINISH
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.
PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT
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.
ULTIMATE TRACTION
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.
TAPERED SHAPE
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.
FLOAT INSERTS
An extra set of inserts set way back for those super deep days.
STEEL EDGES
We build our edges with 35% more steel content than the average. They are simply stronger and more durable than the alternative.
KICK STAND
Our Original Identity shape saves material and weight and also stands up without tipping over like rounded boards do!
FACTORY WAXED
All Slash boards are factory waxed with OneBallJay wax and ready to shred straight out of the wrapper.
TIP PROTECTORS
Thin, light and surprisingly strong aluminum protectors that cap the base and edge at the tip and tail to protect the board from impacts
