NOVEMBERSnowmaterial: C-KENTIAL/DOGWALK
Among the OGASAKA Factory brands, "NOVEMBER" has been producing a lineup that caters to a variety of snowboarding styles since its launch in 2002, based on high-performance freestyle boards such as "ARTISE" and "DESIRE".
While they have produced extremely popular models for parks, jumps, and freestyle tricks, in recent years they have also been keeping an eye on the evolution of their "ALL MOUNTAIN POWDER compatible" models, which make full use of their extensive technical capabilities.
This time, "C-KENTIAL" and "DOGWALK" have been added to the lineup.
The C-KENTIAL is a mid-flex model with plenty of buoyancy and excellent maneuverability in powder even at low to mid-speed ranges. The shape is 20mm tapered on a square nose and tail like a freestyle model.
The unique Powder Camber System shape with a low camber base and rocker in the nose provides both stable driving performance in powder and easy carving performance. It also blends in freestyle performance that NOVEMBER excels at, such as ollies, spins, and landing stability.
The board has the perfect performance for finding gaps in the powder, jumping and spinning, or sliding with switches.
On the other hand, this board has a strong point as it offers excellent control thanks to its moderate mid-flex and torsion that is not too hard, allowing you to enjoy carving turns comfortably.
The DOGWALK, named after the lure's "dog walking action," has a super tapered design that transitions from a wide nose to a narrow pintail shape of up to 40 mm, allowing for quick nose control as the model name suggests.
Like the C-KENTIAL, it uses a unique powder camber system shape that combines driving stability in powder with easy carving performance, and the wide nose generates sufficient buoyancy even on gentle powder slopes where it can be difficult to get started, allowing it to accelerate smoothly even from low speeds.
The unique narrow tail shape allows for dynamic powder turns that kick up spray, similar to a surfer's cutback.
Another attractive feature of this board is the sharp side curve near the end that leads to the narrow pintail, which creates a strong grip on the tail edge and gives it plenty of stability for carving turns on packed snow.
Both models use the ultra-lightweight FM2 core developed exclusively by NOVEMBER, which has successfully reduced the overall weight.
The light weight makes it easy to handle and provides greater freedom of control.
If you want to enjoy tricky maneuvers in powder or on wide groomed snow, and are looking for a board for aggressive freeriding, I recommend checking out these two boards first.
