Gentemstick's Baby Mantaray 149 is an all-mountain carving board that provides excellent damping and a predictable, stable ride through a short-camber-based hybrid construction and a medium-to-stiff flex. It cruises smoothly with no deflection even at speed, letting upper-intermediate riders enjoy varied conditions from groomers to powder with confidence. It's a board for riders who enjoy carving and all-mountain riding rather than park or tricks.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber construction with short camber between the bindings, a very flat and mellow tail, and a long extended nose.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-to-stiff flex with an aggressive character, providing excellent damping and stability at speed.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Predictable, consistent riding characteristics suit intermediates, while an aggressive flex and high-speed stability mean advanced riders can make full use of it too. For beginners the character is somewhat aggressive.
Good
- ✓Excellent damping provides a smooth, stable ride even at speed and on bumpy snow
- ✓Highly predictable, consistent behaviour lets the rider ride aggressively with confidence
- ✓A 34 mm taper and a fast base give it excellent performance in powder and varied conditions
- ✓Once you set an edge it draws a long carve arc and holds it stably
Not so good
- —Medium edge-to-edge speed makes it somewhat unsuited to park or trick riding that needs quick transitions
- —Its real performance in powder hasn't been sufficiently verified, so powder capability may be limited
