STORY NO FRIENDS ON POW DAYS. Why is it that all the powder boards on the market have lame graphics and wack shapes? Let's ask ourselves, "Do we get stoked to see a penis shaped tip on our board?" What about a little 180 ollie for some fakie pow turns just in time to get mauled by that split tail? Do you really want to wiggle your way down the mountain like you're in a bad ‘80s hot dog movie when there's a foot of fresh begging to be DESTROYED? When we think of powder days, straight hauling ass comes to mind. First chairs, solo rides, and a mobbing search for the next untouched zone. Double overhead pow turns, cliff drops, and no speed checks before blasting our favorite rollers into oblivion. That's the shit that gets us stoked to wake up at 6am and be the first one at the hill. And, that's the shit that motivates us to make this board for you. In building the ultimate powder weapon we had needs to be met: 1. Have a shape that looks like a snowboard, not a penis or a surfboard. 2. Float effortlessly in powder, while maintaining the ability to ride switch when and where we want. 3. Have a tail to stomp landings and power out of turns. 4. Be reasonably priced. In reality, how many days a year will you get the chance to ride this beast? Why should you pay $600+ for a special occasion set up? 5. Have graphics that are gnarly and will get you amped to shred the fuck out everything in sight. No friends on powder days… not any more. Now there's Charlie, let's get radical. CREATION THEORY The Flat Kick powder board has been a dream for years. A true tapered tail powder machine engineered to surf the white waves at a price you can afford. With freestyle inspired tip and tail shapes these boards have a single reverse camber area from the insert pack forward to keep your nose above the snowline. A mistake some companies make is engineering powder boards to have full rocker in the tail area as well. This requires more energy in your back leg to keep your tail down for riding fall lines and reduces stability for stomping pow landings. The Charlie Slasher – POW FK has a flat base from the mid section through the tail to make powder riding easier, conserve your energy, and transition the incredibly tiring powder days into incredible, epic, pow days.
