Expert reviews 1
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.
Base shape (camber)
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.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A cruising board character emphasising soft, easy control, with a soft-to-medium flex. No specific flex figure is published.
