Cross-Country Snowboarding! Pole for New Sport

I laughed at the ones for longboard skating, but I knew people would by them. but this is just plain silly. Snowboarding with a a big stick is begging to get skewered.
XC snowboarding? Seriously? When I am in the BC, I am on my splitboard, and have hiking poles, you really think I would carry a stick?

This is an awesome review! Thanks for putting it together!

Are they Joel and Tate approved? Those guys have been rocking XC snowboarding forevs….

Thanks for the review. The Kahuna Snow Stick designed in such a way that there are no sharp edges hope everyone has some fun with it and it actuallyworks! Its all about trying something different and having some new stoke.

Honestly, after being stuck on too many cat tracks to count in my lifetime, I would absolutely love one of these in retractable form to strap onto my pack.

How does it work going uphill?

Ian I agree about the BC, but obviously its not intended to replace your skins and split board for XC travel and access to the BC, but think of it as a stick to use to stay on that high traverse in the side country, and still get back to the lift without taking your feet out of your bindings.. I dont always ride my split, but have loved pushing this thing around instead of removing my foot in the deep.
Lorne: It doesn’t go uphill, you would need a split board with skins to prevent you from sliding backwards downhill. With a little effort you can paddle up slight inclines, like hills on flat cat tracks, but uphill travel would need some diff gear.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

Calling it cross country snowboarding is a bad joke and insult to one of the best all around sports in the world. Providing another weapon on the slopes for snowboarders is even dumber and I hope every Alpine area in the nation bans them before too many other boarders and skiers get their heads knocked by out of control boarders flailing with 5 foot sticks while out of balance. But as a play thing on an open private field of snow, it could be fun, and provide some much needed upper body exercise for a sport that otherwise is all from the core down.

Telemark skiers have been using something like this, it’s called a lurk. Of course with the invention of the double pole it is almost never used.

this can be dangerous <a href=“http://sportthealty.blogspot.com/”> </a>

I’ve been using the Skatn Land Paddle and it’s awesome. Made out of bamboo super light and very strong. Give it a whirl.

Snowboarding is on a decline already. U ass clowns are gonna kill it. Long boarding already lamed out skateboarding, SUP did the same to surfing, and now u will officially put board sports in the same class as scooters and in-skates. I hope u go outa business for the purity of the board sports. In a few years well all be wearing spnadex and jumping on a 10 speed just to get away from “stick” sports. And I’m not talking about hockey.

I would like to punch everyone remotly involved with kahuna sports square in the face! This company deserves nothing but failure.

tres stoopid.
