What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“Skin tracks feel shorter on this board. The DST Carbon Split is featherweight on the up, then locks in with real edge hold on wind board and crust. The hybrid camber gives me trust at speed, and the carbon layup never feels twitchy—just damp and lively. It’s the split I grab for technical tours where I might see everything in a single lap.”Who It’s ForAdvanced to Expert Backcountry Riders:Confident splitboarders who want an ultralight setup for long approaches and variable snow. Ideal if you prioritize efficient climbing, dependable grip on firm surfaces, and a stable ride for steeps, couloirs, and consequential terrain. What It’s ForBackcountry Lines and Technical Tours:Built for human-powered missions that mix wind buff, chalk, and soft stashes. Setback camber and rockered tips keep it composed on hardpack and predictable in crud, with effortless planing when you find cold smoke or spring corn. Why We Like ItLow Weight, Real Edge Hold, Reliable Build:Full triaxial carbon keeps touring weight down without the nervous feel common to carbon decks, while the precision core and polyurethane sidewalls add welcome damping. The directional shape with Dual Swallow Tip stays agile in tight terrain and surfs through soft snow, yet bites confidently when conditions firm up.
