Manufacturer Description:
The Slasher 150cm Powsurfer is the one of the most versatile boards in the 150cm length and is a solid choice when starting your powsurf quiver. Very agile and lively with great float and solid performance in less than ideal snow conditions. The Slasher 150 Powsurfer will handle the shallower conditions and any type of soft snow conditions from mush to light powder.This does take some skill of course to ride the trickier snow, but this model is very capable. It contains a balanced blend of our powsurf specific technology with a traditional snowboard-like cut. Ideal in powder conditions between 5″ (13cm) and 30″ (70cm) for rider’s of 170lbs to 220lbs.
Ideal for beginners as well as the most aggressive and advanced powsurfers out there. The Slasher is a sure pick when you are not sure about the conditions you will encounter on a particular day.
The Slasher 150cm Powsurfer is one of the most versatile 150cm boards in our line. A new addition to one of our all time best selling boards, the 140cm Slasher. The difference from the 140cm is much more than just length. It has a lower profile nose and tail that provides better float at lower speeds making it great for lower angle slopes in the deep snow. The Slasher 150cm Powsurfer is a great all around board that is very easy to learn on and with added control of our CDC 3-Dimensional Base Technology you can get as aggressive as possible on it. The elongated nose outline puts more of the width and volume under the weight of the rider allowing for better planing and less drag in the tail. This makes for better floatation and in turn better edge to edge performance. We’ve blended a few of the characteristics from traditional snowboard shape outline and sidecut but infused powsurf characteristics that have been rigorously tested in our 15 years of shaping and powsurfing. The 3-D base gives this board even better float and control while contributing to the surf-like feel that we love so much.
The Slasher 150cm Powsurfer performs best in 6″ or more soft snow and up to 30″ of light and dry duff. If mainly riding in shallow snow and/or variable conditions you may need to adjust slope angle accordingly. If you ride mostly in shallow or variable conditions we recommend the 140cm version of the Slasher or the Barracuda models as they have the best performance in shallow, thick and variable conditions.
