The mystique around Gentemstick is real. When you're riding one, there's a deeper sense of working with the mountain as opposed to trying to destroy it...or maybe they just rip really hard! Woo-woo vibes aside, there's no denying the Gentemstick Baby Stingray 151 Snowboard does, in fact, rip. It's as middle of the road as an exceptional board can be, with reasonable stats that shine everywhere: it floats like a nose-up wiggler, but has enough tail to finish off carves at any speed with confidence. This is a board for a smooth operator, adept at steeps, deeps, and eliciting victorious expletive bleeps.
