The Tree Surfer Backcountry is your split for effortless float and surf on the deepest days. The fishtail sinks and steer in powder and windpacked without all the drawbacks of a bigger swallowtail. It’s groundbreaking hammerhead nose makes it go through thick crust like a tank, and opens up a track for the rest of the board to follow in. The Tree Surfer split comes with a scratchresistant plant based polyamid topsheet and aluminium tip and tail protectors. It’s made to be ridden hard and for many seasons. It was choosen as a Gear Guide Select 2021 splitboard by Backcountry Magazine, USA.

SHAPE
The Tree Surfer features a Swallow Tail that allows for better control in deep powder. The unique hammerhead-sharknose brings you next level riding even in thick crust. This is a board shaped to excel in variable conditions.
PROFILE
We build our snowboards with classic camber and Tip-Tail-Rocker. We distinguish between standard camber and low camber: with low camber, the centre of the board is slightly elevated and the contact points are further towards the centre. The Tree Surfer Backcountry has 6 mm camber.
CORE
At Stranda Snowboards we use ash wood and a minor part poplar in our cores. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar keeps the weight down. Choosing a premium material also allowed us to reduce the use of petroleum-based composites.
