They have some regular models that will work fine, but also some highly irregular shapes that seems like the try before you buy kind. Borrowed the Redtail for a run, and that's a pretty standard board of the "snowsurfy" kind, along with the rest of similar boards to Moss/Gentem.

i like the snowsurf philosophy in fact i like so much Gentem and they ve traditional camber versus flat shape as most of Elevated boards.casjcade wrote: Tue Mar 04, 2025 3:15 am They have some regular models that will work fine, but also some highly irregular shapes that seems like the try before you buy kind.

I had a redtail hawk for a couple seasons. Nothing spectacular or game changing about it, a fun shape that was manageable on the groomers I got to ride it on. I never got any powder days with it, so I can’t speak to how it rides in those conditions. The fit and finish on the Redtail I had was fine, but when putting it next to a Gentemstick, it was clear that the Elevated wasn’t in the same league. With that said, mine was from 2019 so they may have changed for the better. I haven’t kept up with them in a few years

As long as one can unironically follow the rules of its charter, their (multple) reverse taper boards will flowstate you from the bottom of the hill to the summit on good vibes alone. If it doesn't work for you, it's because you're not listening to the board and letting it go where it wants.

now sure how they size their boards in feet (versus cm) makes sense

across every social platform, it was so weird to see the owner peddling his own boards at every opportunity..regardless of the desired application.
isn’t he the guy that brought a paddle out when riding powder? Lol
