CAMROCK / The CamRock design is very playful. The narrow contact points and the lifted tips make the board easy to turn. We added flat spots outside the bindings toward the tip and tail which give you all the pop you need to ollie over anything that lies in your path. The camber between your feet gives you stability and responsiveness in all conditions and terrain types.

#escapethecitylimits


This deck features REACTIVE FLEX allowing the board to flex edge to edge. If Johnnie jumps boardslide onto a rail, the board automatically creates a skateboard-like concave that lifts the edges to prevent from falling. Our POP WOODCORE gives the Paxson board it’s strength and liveliness. We topped it off by adding our SWEET SPOT carbons from the tips to the middle of the inserts to let him pop the highest ollie with ease. On his pro model artwork he explains: „When I was younger I drew a panther on my snowboard and I still have that board, so I thought it would be cool to recreate it but with the help of the artist Tyler Stout“.

#dancewithme


This Straight takes a holistically directional concept to new heights. With BACKSEAT CAMROCK combined with a slightly stiffer tail, and a setback stance, this freeride board put me on the very top of the podium at the Ultranatural event. The LANDING STRIP reinforcement is placed as stringer from the nose to the tail, reducing high velocity chatter while our FOREVER WOOD CORE and SLICK TIP PROFILE makes this board incredibly light. The ULTIMATE TRACTION in the center of the sidecut promotes edge-hold especially in sketchy spots.

#allyoucanride


A DIRECTIONAL TWIN board with FULL CAMBER for full control. This is the original board I shaped as my pro model with the vision of creating a powerful, lightweight and reactive ride. My boards unique but functional shape will take you anywhere you want to go. Shape-wise I’ve taken a minimalistic yet fun approach that saves material and weight but also stands up without tipping over like rounded boards can do!

#newreality


The Aurora can be seen as apical, stemming from our SWISS HUB. This boards lineage can demonstrate its ascent from the ATV. Throughout the quest for refinement the forms and distinction became autonomous. Outstanding merits of this new board are the subtle DUAL CAMBER profile with its pivoting role in the center, the new REDLINE SIDECUT along with our new KNOCK OUT ingredient and the ULTIMATE TRACTION are all coherent refinements to put you on the inside track.

NEW SLASH INGREDIENTS /


LIGHTWEIGHT WOODCORE /

REDLINE SIDECUT /

This is the lightweight composition to our wood cores, using light density Paulownia and light Poplar wood. Additionally we use the sturdy Beech in the middle for inserts retention but also on the outside next to the sidewalls for better onedge stability.

The name is from the RPM of an engine. When the engine is running high its called; in the redlines of the speedometer. The idea is somehow to translate the riders behavior into the board. When pointing straight down the hill the rider is comitted to go fast by loading his front foot, needing stability from his board. Does the rider actively want to slow down, the weight moves onto the backfoot to control the steering. Therefore I sat together with my brother, Ing. Werner R端f who helped me refine riding stability and control by accurately composing this sidecut to be on demand.

CARBONBON / Our 100% Carbon reinforcements are the ultimate upgrade to the boards. Placed between the base and the core to enhance responsiveness, pop and stiffness without adding any weight.

KNOCK OUT /

DUAL CAMBER /

We used our CNC machine, operated by precisely programmed commands to make a counterbalanced 3D slant between the bindings. This refinement makes a woodcore lighter and the sidewall thinner. The riding gets more enjoyable where the most grip is needed.

Easy and precise by preserving the traditional cambers far out contactpoints. This subtle Dual Camber profile comes in as a pivoting relief, making a board easier to turn.


SLASH INGREDIENTS /


REACTIVE FLEX /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / AURORA The most advanced board technolog y available today! A composition of two unique fiberglass layouts in combination with our wood cores that are specifically assembled and profiled by our engineers in Switzerland. Reactive Flex gives our boards the ability to also flex across the width. So, however you bend the board it will react the best way imaginable. For example if you jump on a park rail for a boardslide, the board edges lift up, creating a convex base which minimizes your chance of catching an edge. When carving a turn, it works the other way around. The board edges flex downward, creating a concave base which makes your edge bite more into the turns. This is automated flex in 3d!

LANDING STRIP /

BRAINSTORM / STRAIGHT 2 strips o f Kevlar and Carbon placed from the tail to the inserts and from the nose to the the tip o f the inserts. This will reduce high veloci ty quivers.

PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTORM The discussion of sidecut is simple, it makes the board turn. Now a step ahead we bring you progressive sidecut which is more technical than simple sidecut and is really bene fi tal wi th hybrid cambers as the contact points of the board become more relevant for smooth turns.

TRIAX FIBERGLASS /

HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTORM Triax Fiberglass provides superio ur pop, t o rsional f l ex , and more ov e rall

consistent response.

FOREVER WOOD /

STRAIGHT / ATV Combining four different lightweight wood species: paulownia, spruce, beech and poplar to create a premium wood core that reduces weight while increasing reactivity, pop and longevity in extreme conditions. We are using only European FSC wood species assembled and profiled in our own swiss woodshop to get the best precision in conjunction with the Reactive Flex Technolog y.

POP CORE /

PAXSON / HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTORM This core is made out of alternating poplar and beech stringers that give it strength and liveliness. Our swiss engineers also inlaid 4 sections of sturdy spruce into the tail and nose area to increase precision and get the best pop out of the board. We use this in the park and street specific boards.

SWEET SPOT /

PAXSON / HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTORM 2 cross-shaped carbon fibers placed from the contact point of the nose and tail to the middle of the inserts. This configuration increases POP and strength, bringing more play into your riding.

BURIED TREASURE /

ATV / AURORA This is our ultimate combination of carbon, kevlar and basalt fibers developed to increasingly benefit all the aspects of your board. The effects are lightness because the connecting strenght of fiber allows us to slim the cores thickness, it adds reactivity to the board like response and torsion because of the strategical placement of these fibers.

CARBONBON

AURORA Our 100% Carbon reinforcements are the ultimate upgrade to the boards. Placed between the base and the core to enhance responsiveness, pop and stiffness without adding any weight.


ULTIMATE TRACTION /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTORM / AURORA Ultimate Traction is a small counter radius(bump) placed in the middle of the board’s sidecut. By positioning this bump instead of using a traditional sidecut, we have improved edge hold and center stability by not only relying solely on the board’s outside contact points. You will have more control of your board especially on ice, less fatigue turning the board and lots more fun!

TIP PROTECTORS /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTROM / AURORA Thin and light , b ut surprisingly strong, aluminum protectors on the tail and/or nose protect the board from the damage that can result from impacts. This small detail makes a big difference for the durability of the deck, especially if your repertoire is more park/urban focused.

BASE 9900 /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / BRAINSTROM / AURORA Racing-9900, the fastest and densest sintered base on the market today. It also provides the most impactresistant surface available. This performance base will allow you to the lead the pack wherever you are headed. Its high-density molecular structure holds wax longer.

BASE 6000 /

HAPPY PLACE This sintered base is fast, dense, durable, and ready toperform. It has been specially made for all your streetand park needs. For quality purpose we only use sintered bases where most companies use extruded and lowdensitybase material.

DIAMOND STONE FINISH /

STRAIGHT / BRAINSTORM / PAXSON / ATV / AURORA Diamond-structured stone grinding is the best possible base finish. The grinding occurs on two axes to maximize glide, and to optimize the durability of the base. It eliminates the slow, suction feel that comes with one dimensional base finishes. This is just an extra step we take to ensure your board performs.

BELT FINISH /

HAPPY PLACE / BRAINSTORM The belt finish is our standard base finish. It gets your base optimized be fore we fully wax the board.

EDGES /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / AUROA / BRAINSTORM Our edges have 35% more steel than stock edges from other companies. They are quite simply stronger and more durable than the alternatives. They feel substantial and will take a beating.

SLICK TIP PROFILE /

STRAIGHT / HAPPY PLACE / AURORA By reducing the wood and fiberglass in the nose and/ or tail and replacing it with a denser wood core, Slick Tip technolog y allows us to lighten up the board significantly while increasing strength and durability. The Slick Tip also dampens vibrations and provides a unique, light feel in turn transitions, due to its reduced thickness and profile.


CAMBER /

ATV The camber profile is the traditional snowboard profile used since the beginning of snowboarding. The camber profile is designed to distribute weight evenly and increase pop. It will give you a really precise snowboard with a snappy, reactive feel.

KICK STAND /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / AUROA / BRAINSTORM Our Identity shape saves material and weight but also stands up without tipping over like rounded boards do!

WAX / CAMROCK /

HAPPY PLACE The CamRock design is very playful. The narrow contact points and the lifted tips make the board easy to turn. We added flat spots outside the bindings toward the tip and tail which give you all the pop you need to ollie over anything that lies in your path. The camber between your feet gives you stability and responsiveness in all conditions and terrain types.

ZERO CAMBER /

PAXSON This profile has no preload – meaning no camber nor rocker but still you get the combination between both. By using the full surface of the base it makes the board versatile and forgiving.

BACKSEAT CAMROCK /

STRAIGHT / BRAINSTORM Backseat CamRock gives you everything you need to slay your backcountry line. There is a touch more rocker in the nose to add float and improved maneuverability, matched with a small set-back camber between the bindings to keep your snowboard responsive.

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / AUROA / BRAINSTORM All our boards come out from the factory fully waxed for your first days on snow. We don’t use candle wax, surf wax, or ear wax, just wax that makes you glide.

QUALITY CONTROLLED /

STRAIGHT / PAXSON / ATV / HAPPY PLACE / AUROA / BRAINSTORM While we take great pride in the superiority of our products and believe that our multi-layered quality-control process is second to none, from time to time a small imperfection might slip out of the factory. Recognizing this, SLASH backs all of its products with a two-year warranty against material defects.
