Weston Japow Splitboard 2025

Directional Powder Camber
–
A large reverse-camber nose provides maximum float in deep snow while traditional camber underfoot provides a reliable edge hold.

Flex Rating
–
6 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Directional Swallowtail

91% Poplar / 9% Bamboo
–
Sustainably harvested, this blend keeps the board smooth and powerful.

Tri-Axe Glass
–
Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any ­terrain or snow conditions.

Tail V Carbon
–
Carbon fiber from the tail inserts to the tail contact points to provides added edge to edge response and spring in the tail.

UMHW PE
–
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene has one of the highest impact strengths of any plastic out there, which means it can take a beating and look as good as new. For additional durability, the tip and tail sections are stitched to the core for a tighter bond.

Sintered Durasurf 4001
–
The gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered bases have a higher density than other options on the market, and are therefore more durable. Additionally, it absorbs more wax, making for a faster and smoother ride. 4000-series PTEX is usually reserved for only top-of-the-line boards due to a higher manufacturing cost, but at Weston it’s the minimum standard.

Rugged Topsheet
–
Rugged Topsheet – Polymide is eco friendly and made from castor beans. The topsheet is durable and resistant to scratches and scuffs.

Karakoram UltraClips and Active Joining
–
Karakoram UltraClips and Tip-Locks use Active Joining to spring load the seam of your splitboard, eliminating the rattling shearing, and rolling inherent to passive slip-fit connections. Simply close the lever to lock in the most responsive ride.

Skin Attachments
–
Tip holes (for Pomoca Z-Clips) and tail notches.

Shifted Touring Bracket Position

Rooted Inserts
–
The odds of pulling out inserts on a snowboard are about zero, but just to make sure Weston have reinforced all of the inserts areas with precision-cut sheets of flax. This improved durability and naturally dampens chatter. Additionally, flax is a sustainable crop and is good for the environment.

Split Tech
–
Weston doesn’t skimp on their splits. You’ll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kick-turn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get – that’s why Weston balance’s their splits so that they are tail heavy.
