Gentemstick Giant Mantaray Snowboard 2026
The Gentemstick Giant Mantaray Snowboard swims through powder like its ocean namesake with innovative Short Camber technology that eliminates edge catch while delivering rock-solid stability at speed. This Japanese masterpiece combines a massive square nose and crescent tail with premium poplar/bamboo construction, creating a board that dances through three-dimensional terrain with the grace of a manta ray gliding through deep blue waters!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Short Camber – This is a design that eliminates unnecessary edge catching as much as possible from traditional center camber. The camber peak remains near the center of the effective edge, while both ends extend to just before the maximum width sections and connect to tip rocker, maximizing the benefits of camber while eliminating its disadvantages. Combined with relatively shallow camber, it achieves smooth turns that don't feel like a typical camber board.

Terrain
Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Flex Rating:
Medium

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.

Flux XF Snowboard Bindings
Go higher and ride faster strapped into the Flux XF Snowboard Bindings. These binders serve up efficient power thanks to their heelside stabilizer and resistant material that's stiff and lightweight. A symmetric retro mod highback supports hard landings and the Boost FootOn+ footbed elevates your edging.

Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Baseplate
Super Ultima Base – Lightweight with quick edge-to-edge response while the board is being flexed.
Performance Blend – A nylon and fiberglass mix for all-around performance.
Boost FootOn+ – The center is made of a soft material, and when you step on it, it naturally becomes concave, making it easier for the toe and heel to step on it. Of course, the surface is made of a material that does not easily get snow on it.
Responsive Stabilizer – A large stabilizer designed for XF with an emphasis on quick reaction and power transmission. Made of highly resilient TPU material, it protects the board while boasting high response performance.
Five Holes Highback Rotation – Five highback mounting holes allow rotation at both foot forward angles.
Flat Bottom – The base plate has a flat shape with fewer bumps on the underside, allowing for direct power transmission while still taking care of the top sheet of the board.
Toolless Lever – Find your optimum settings without any tools. The stopper prevents any screws coming loose.
Multi Disc – In addition to the conventional 4x4 screw holes, this disc is also channel-compatible.
Highback
Retro-Mod Highback – The outside takes on a classically symmetric shape. The inner asymmetric structure provides resilience while following the movement of the boots, and offers improves torsion control when landing.
Super Tough Nylon – A fiber mix with a medium flex that is perfect for all mountain riding.
Redux Lean Adjuster – A highback adjuster that offers precision adjustments when used in unison with the Flux Micro Adjuster.
Micro Adjuster – Adjust forward lean in 2.5° increments with each click for finer highback settings.
Straps
Waffle Strap – Waffle shaped cushioning provides ample hold and unparalleled comfort, and two layer-construction offers direct power transfer.
FTM 5.0 Toe Strap – The middle of the strap uses a more rigid material for increased power transfer, with top and bottom ends using a more flexible material for a better boot fit.
L-Guide – For a smooth in and out. Holds ratchet ladders down.
UU Fit – A 360° wrap evens out pressure for a natural feel and hold.
Buckles
Beer Buckles – Newly engineered buckles give you more leverage when cranking down on the straps allowing you to get to the last click with minimal effort. Functions as a bottle opener in case of beverage emergencies.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
