24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The 2025 Gentemstick Flying Carpet is a 1,460 mm short board with flat camber and a pointy nose, a cruising board characterised by outstanding float in powder and smooth turns. It's an iconic Gentemstick model that carries a classic 1980s bottom design into the modern era, and it's easy enough to control that it's the first board recommended even to riders new to flat camber.
It's an all-mountain board that lets you enjoy easy handling on any terrain alongside its distinctive floating sensation.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Flat
A flat camber design — a classic base design that disappeared along with late-1980s ski technology and was revived by Gentemstick. Its base design suppresses snow resistance to maximise the floating sensation in powder, and as Gentemstick's signature design it has been adopted continuously and refined over time.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A cruising board character emphasising soft, easy control, with a soft-to-medium flex. No specific flex figure is published.
