Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Rome Stale Fish Snowboard is a gem for those who crave a surfy, playful ride in powder. Its new shape for 2024 offers a more centered stance, making it versatile for various terrains. The Directional Diamond 3D nose ensures you float effortlessly in fresh snow, while the Directional Flax Walls add rigidity, reducing chatter. It's not the most forgiving board, so it demands a bit of skill, but for those who ride with intention, it's incredibly rewarding. Just be cautious at high speeds as it can get a bit chattery. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for adventurous riders who love carving through trees and fresh powder.

With a new shape for the 23/24 season, the Stale Fish is even more versatile than ever. Ståle Sandbech’s wanted a more powerful overall ride, so we created a new shape with slightly less taper and a more centered stance. Built with our Directional Diamond 3D in the nose for maximum float in pow, the Stale Fish also features our Directional Flax Walls running from the front insert pack into the boards nose for additional rigidity and chatter dampening.
