The Pencil is a true all-round shape for effortless turns in all types of snow conditions. The slight swallowtail offers you some playfulness out the back, but still has the stability and torsion you need to hold an edge throughout the turn. Its taper makes it easy going from edge to edge, and the shape generally feels more reactive and short than what it appears. The pointy nose is designed to keep speed coming out of deep powder turns, keeps the spray out of your face, and also allows a smooth initiation of turns. The Pencil is a classic line favourite for riders looking for that one board that does it all.
Features:
Rocker Type

On the other hand it also offers response and stability when going for airs or simply turning in variable conditions.

Size Guide:
This chart shows the range in what each size can handle. It is never our intention to categorize riders and their preferences. Our philosophy of snowboarding is to try new shapes, lengths, widths, and to keep an open mind for alternative riding experiences; however, we do have some limits to consider so that your board will work as it was designed to.
Your weight plays a major role in how the board will flex, and your shoe size will affect toe and heel drag when turning. The below size chart is for reference only, as our recommendations may vary depending on your stance and riding ability.
