What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I rode this on a deep powder day and the swallowtail kept the nose up without any extra effort. It's stiff enough that I could still lay down fast, clean carves once we hit the groomers back to the lodge."Deep snow days ask a different question of a snowboard, and the Cannon answers with its tapered swallowtail shape, letting the nose ride high through the fluff while the tail sinks and steers with almost no effort. This is a board for riders chasing untouched lines above treeline, then carrying that same energy back down the groomed run without missing a beat. The progressive sidecut narrows toward the tail, so exiting a turn feels quick and controlled even at speed, while the poplar wood core and beech stringers keep the ride lively without ever feeling twitchy. Recycled steel edges and a sintered base round things out, giving advanced and expert riders a board that holds an edge and glides fast whether the snow is three inches deep or three feet.
