FAQ's
Which board size fits best?
In general Powfinders can be ridden a bit shorter and wider than average. Don't be afraid to go for a shorter length. The boards float very well due to their increased surface and specific shape. Experience has learned us the following:
- 149: Best for light weight riders, young guns, women or girls. The 149 will also suit average sized riders who like an easy, playful ride.
- 157: Best for average sized riders who love to ride in all conditions. The 157 could also be the weapon of choice for taller riders who like a smooth and playful ride. Small riders that like a firm, long board for charging big turns will also enjoy the 157.
- 164: The board for the tall, heavier and or stronger riders among us. Average sized riders that like a more stiff and longer board to enjoy those big turns will also enjoy the 164.
Our boards are made for intermediate and advanced riders all the way to the expert powfinders among us. Still in doubt? Check our complete size guide for more details or get in touch.
Why are you using bamboo?
We have been designing and building bamboo snowboards since 2007. Bamboo is strong, light, eco friendly and gives our boards a unique stability and liveliness not found with any other material. All our cores are handcrafted containing a mix of bamboo and various amounts of poplar and paulownia wood.
What is Powfinder tech?
Our entire collection of snowboards are based on Powfinder Tech. A fundamental mix of topnotch materials and smart snowboard engineering.There is a lot of bamboo inside, they have an extremely durable black sintered base. Our swallowtails are constructed with full wrap metal edges. Our powfinder camber gives the board a playful and energetic feel, resulting in maximum maneuverability. More details can be found here.
Can I ride my Powfinder switch?
Riding switch is possible with all our boards. Unlike a lot of other swallowtail snowboards, our specific tail shape has enough rocker to allow this. So, riding our boards switch on groomers is no problem. Landing and riding switch in powder will take some more skills and practicing though.
