Japow Splitboard x Hokkaido Backcountry Club

he Japow Splitboard is by far the BEST splitboard ever made per our employees who ride Weston. Size up on the Japow for epic float, stability and a giggly good time in the backcountry.

Weston’s legendary wide nosed swallowtail splitboard is a pow-chaser dream machine. Whether you want unlimited float on the deepest days or want to carve trenches in wet snow, you won't be disappointed in the Japow.  The Japow Split is just as at home on blower storm days in the Tetons or ghosted tree runs in the Cascades. This board is built for steep pow and kick turns will never feel easier.

The Japows wide nose, deep sidecut (2cm), and signature swallowtail with two beefy carbon stringers to give you more tail than classic boards delivers a shape with unmatched float without sacrificing control. That tapered design keeps your nose planing effortlessly, reduces back-leg burn, and makes tight trees feel like wide-open bowls. The tail sinks, the nose rises, and the board slashes with a surfy, playful feel that transforms the steep and deep into a powder playground.

Weston set this deck up with the Slayer Split Core uses poplar for lightweight touring performance reinforced with bamboo stringers for strength and pop. Carbon V Tail stringers run all the way into the rear stance pack to keep it snappy and responsive.  Sintered Durasurf 4001 Base keeps you racing when the exit track turns flat. Built with SplitTech inside edges and tail-shifted balance for easier kick turns and smoother touring, UHMW sidewalls, and a Rugged Topsheet, the Japow Split is designed to take a beating and keep floating. Developed and tested with Weston athletes and guides, the Japow Split is backed by a 4-Year Warranty and support through the Board Slayer Program.

Make sure to pair this board with a set of Pomoca Small Splitboard Skins and Weston Tail clips for the best skin fit out there.
