Construction and Materials

As the most performance oriented board in the women’s line, the Riva Split has to be able to run with the big dogs. Weston have kitted it out with their lively full wood core, with carbon stringers running end to end to boost the dynamic energy and soak up some of the chatter.

This core is sandwiched with reactive triax fibreglass, to ensure when you’re hooning it (which you will be thanks to the high-end sintered base) that you’ll still be able to control the board with precision.

Split-wise they use Karakoram Ultra Clips, undoubtedly some of the best, most durable and high tech in the game. When you’re miles from civilisation you have to be able to trust in your gear, and Weston know this better than anyone.

Roundup

Fun fact: The Weston Riva was named after the Riva Ridge in northern Italy in which a battle took place that was one of the keys to Allied victory in Europe during WW2. Pretty cool story for a pretty cool snowboard.
