The Weston Hatchet Splitboard takes the Hatchet and, well, splits it. A tactical tool for acting the fool, there’s nothing like getting way out yonder with a floaty freestyle twin. A little bit short and a little bit wide, this board has all the float of a big pow board but loves landing switch and spinning–it’s a freestyle board for motivated powder hounds, made for spinning off cheese wedges into untouched landings, getting creative in natural terrain, and having a blast in the snow. The Hatchet split is backcountry gadgetry done right.

Rocker Type

Twin Powder Camber– Symmetric reverse-camber tip and tails provide maximum float in deep snow, while giving the ability to land or ride switch. A mild camber underfoot provides stability and control.

Flex

Flex Rating– 7 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Shape

Twinish / Volume Shifted– This board is designed to be ridden shorter while providing comparable float and near-twin ride. The surface area of a larger board but in a smaller size creates more float with easier maneuverability but slightly reduced edge hold.

Core

71% Poplar / 26% Paulownia / 3% Bamboo

Laminates

Flax Touring Bracket and Inserts Plates– Weston places an additional layer of flax under the splitboard inserts and under the ski binding area for improved screw retention. Flax has the added benefit of providing some damping which helps in that area since it takes abuse with every step, plus it’s natural and sustainable.

2x Tip to Tail S-Weave Carbon– This advanced weaving of carbon through the core creates more pop.

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

Sidewalls

Polyurethane– Polyurethane is poured during construction to form a single, unifiedpiece of sidewall wrapping around the entire core for increased strength and durability. Because of this process, it also creates less waste material than other sidewall options.

Base

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.

Additional Features

Karakoram TipLoc Clips

Karakoram Ultraclip 2.0– This system brings the two sections of your board together with force, creating the most responsive ride possible with added tensionand adjustability to prevent slipping over time.

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

Binding Compatibility

Standard Splitboard Insert Pattern

Terrain: Splitboarding SplitboardingA splitboard snowboard is built specifically for the backcountry rider. Splitboards are designed to break down into two separate halves for touring and uphill travel (with climbing skins). Special bindings are required as well. Once you’ve reached the top of the terrain feature, you reconnect your splitboard for the ride back downhill. However, it’s important to note that you will need appropriate backcountry tools, knowledge of the backcountry, weather and snow conditions and climbing skins to safely take advantage of the freedom of a splitboard.

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Shape: Directional Twin

Flex Rating: Stiff StiffThe amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers’ number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
