Signature Boards

Mantaray
All Mountain
Mantaray
Independent
2003 -

One of the classic Gentemstick all-mountain boards. The original design was the Mantaray 154, with the Mantaray 156 being the "international" version for overseas sales.

It's unique design in 2003 influenced other board designers, with the flat square nose and half moon tail. It works well through trees and on piste, in any condition.

Different sizes included the Giant Mantaray released in 2009.

2008 -

As part of the iconic board design of the "Fishes", the Rocket Fish is strikingly short and fat. Add to that the iconic Outline Core that looks incredible but also has a unique flex.

Made to be ridden on powder but also great for carving on morning groomers.

TT
Snowsurf Big Turns Carving
TT
Flat Camber
1990 -

The TT series is named after the founder of Gentemstick, Taro Tamai. The original T.T 165 Classic model was released in 1990 and the shape has stayed largely the same.

Its short round tail provides great maneuverability and an excellent release. Its pointy nose pulls out a solid and sharp spray. The sidecut and the rocker-line harmonize into a beautiful outline that has been polished out by pursuing the style to surf the snow.

This board is perfect for carving wide sweeping turns on morning powdery groomers.

165 refers to the length, so it's an unusually narrow and long board, but not the longest in the Gentemstick lineup!
