The Mantaray has been a long-time staple in the Gentemstick line and is now being offered in an international limited edition run with a looser, more playful feel optimized for freeride and all-mountain conditions. This board features a super wide surface area and a unique Half-Moon Tail to help you float through the deepest powder with ease and to maximize tail control in soft snow conditions. Gentemstick uses hand-crafted precision and carefully shaped lines to create their snowboards.

Profile: Directional Tapered
Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns.
A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.
Shape: Directional Camber
Camber underfoot with a bit of rocker lift in the nose gives you the ultimate best of both worlds for a pow ready board that holds up in any condition.
This board bend has entry rocker that adds lift to the nose while a camber section under both feet maintains momentum and stability through deep-driving turns and variable conditions. This bend caters to those who like the attributes of traditional camber but want something that will get up to speed and float easier in pow.
