Product Info

Woah, a twin cambered pow board that rips the whole mountain? Blasphemy! Well, Gigi does it again with the Slash Brainstorm Snowboard. Featuring Slash's backseat camber, the Brainstorm is all float up front with plenty of party pop in the back. Plus, this deck offers Slash's progressive sidecut for easy turns without the hangup in transition. Whether you are sending 540s down pillow lines or just rallying with your homies, the 2015 Slash Brainstorm is prepared to handle whatever Mother Nature has to offer.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Backseat CamRockBackseat CamRock gives you everything you need to slay your backcountry line. There is a touch more rocker in the nose to add float and improved maneuverability, matched with a small set-back camber between the bindings to keep your snowboard responsive.

Flex

Directional FlexSoft nose, stiff tail, more pop.

Shape

TwinDesigned with freestylers in mind, the nose and tip have exactly the same dimensions and the stance is centered, so the board performs equally well regardless of your direction. Built to allows riders to jib, spin, stomp and butter, it not only gives you the pop you need, but the pop you want. Regular or switch, it doesn't matter, it's all the same.

Progressive SidecutThe discussion of sidecut is simple, it makes the board turn. Now a step ahead Slash brings you progressive sidecut which is more technical than a simple sidecut and is really beneficial with hybrid cambers as the contact points of the board become more relevant for smooth turns.

Core

Snap Crackle PopThis core is made out of alternating poplar and beech stringers that give it strength and liveliness. Slash's Swiss engineers also inlaid 4 sections of sturdy spruce into the tail and nose area to increase precision and get the best pop out of the board. Slash uses this in the park and street specific boards.

Laminates

Sweet Spot2 cross-shaped carbon fibers placed from the contact point of the nose and tail to the middle of the inserts. This configuration increases POP and strength, bringing more place into your riding.

Triax FiberglassTriax Fiberglass provides superior pop, consistent torsional flex, and more overall response.

Base

Base 9900Racing-9900, the fastest and most dense sintered base on the market today. It also provides the most impact-resistant surface available. This performance base will allow you to lead the pack wherever you are headed. Its high-density molecular structure holds wax longer.

Diamond Stone FinishDiamond-structured stone grinding is the best possible base finish. The grinding occurs on two axes to maximize glide and to optimize the durability of the base. It eliminates the slow, suction feel that come with one dimensional base finishes. This is just an extra step Slash takes to ensure your board performs.

Die-Cut BaseBase color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Edges

EdgesSlash edges have 35% more steel than stock edges from other companies. They are quite simply stronger and more durable than the alternatives. They feel substantial and will take a beating.

Ultimate TractionA small counter radius (bump) placed in the middle of the board's sidecut. By positioning this bump instead of using a traditional sidecut, Slash has improved edge hold and center stability by not solely relying on the board's outside contact points. You will have more control of your board especially on ice, less fatigue turning the board and lots more fun!

Additional Features

Kick StandSlash's identity shape saves material and weight but also stands up without tipping over like rounded boards do!

Tip ProtectorsThin and light, but surprisingly strong, aluminum protectors on the tail and/or nose protect the board from damage that can result from impacts. This small detail makes a big difference for the durability of the deck, especially if your repertoire is more park/urban focused.
