Gentemstick Flying Carpet Snowboard

The Flying Carpet will take you on a magical journey through the deepest of the winter. Despite its short 146cm length, it provides ample float and the combination of the flat camber system and the pointy nose is proven with the TT series to perform smooth and loose in natural banks and gullies. The Flying Carpet is an easy going cruising board and is the recommended model for flat camber's entry users.

When riding in powder on traditional cambered boards, the nose drags snow due to its own camber system and eventually would sink into snow. To prevent it from nosediving, the rider is forced to lean back and turn only with the tail. This phenomena also happen in three dimensional terrain. 

Like when making a non-gravity turn at the top of a wall, the traditional camber turns convex “against” the terrain, forcing the edge and the rail to go in a different direction than the targeted line. Once again, the rider is forced to lean back or turn using the edge, restricting the freedom of riding.

This restriction is silly to have on boards for complex terrain. This camber system came from the skiing know-how. We’ve adopted it and refined it to match our flat camber system in order to allow freer maneuverability in complex three-dimensional terrain. The weightless sensation when making a top-turn, and resistance-free riding, especially late in a turn, are the distinct characteristics of our flat camber system.
