“Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?”

After putting in countless days riding his Original Winterstick Swallowtail, Rob Kingwill felt inspired to shape a modern version with a little more horsepower. He took out some of the taper, widened the swallowtail, and added some angular inspiration from the elusive Aurora Project plane design. Looking for stability on steeper runs in Jackson Hole and Alaska, the sidecut radius blends from tight to long in tail, for a catch-free riding experience. Not just for powder, this board handles just about every snow condition with ease, and may become your daily driver. Although it is inspired by stealth, the jet black and red top sheet is going to set off every radar as you walk through the parking lot and tram line!

Camber Profile

Pintail
This board is amazing, laterally stiff, torsional flexibility that makes the waist width approachable, excellent taper which keeps it nimble but with a side cut that drive confident stability at speed

All Gas, No Brakes
For big mountain lines that scream “full throttle”, this board is the gold standard.
At speed, this deck is extremely stable. The wide nose cuts through powder and wind slabs like a hot knife in butter . The long effective edge bites in on the steepest sections with ease . Never sinks, so “soul turns” are dreamy. Great deck for sending , the width is an asset for clean landings. On tighter lines, it’s still plenty nimble!
If you like to leave your group in the dusk , hit social media hero lines and send powder clouds into the stratosphere , this is your deck !

Does what it says on the tin
Steep and Deep is the name of the game folks; the Pintail excels in couloirs and chutes but that's just the start of it! The almost nonexistent tail allows for quick pivots and 3D braking, and the wide width prevents toe drag on even the steepest of slopes, add the burly camber and long sidecut, and this is what dreams are made of!
I've been riding for 22 years, and this is the most fun I've ever had on a snowboard; it's as capable and demanding as my Ride Berzerker, but more poppy and lively than my bamboo cored K2 Ultradream. The long early rise nose floats over chunder and small moguls without a second thought, and somehow despite the soft flex of the nose, the board is extremely stable at speed. More stable at higher speeds, actually.
The Pintail is what I imagine driving a Porsche GT3-RS feels like. Razor sharp response, extremely talkative chassis, but well tuned enough to not demand thought for inputs, it simply happens.
