24/25 season reviewDifferent season, same model
https://thegoodride.com/snowboard-reviews/weston-japow-snowboard-review/The Weston Japow is not a trendy short/wide, but it truly is a pleasure to ride pow and carve groomers with. Don't just get this for powder.

A tapered directional shape with a directional camber profile and over 20mm of setback stance. It is not a trendy short/wide.

Good
- ✓Truly a pleasure to ride pow and carve groomers with — don't just get this for powder
- ✓Handled everything from wet late spring powder to firm, hard groomers
- ✓The 2025 Japow is the same ride as the 2021 that was tested, so the character hasn't drifted across model years
- ✓Comes in a splitboard version
Not so good
- —Edge hold reaches hard snow, but with over 20mm of setback this is a directional ride, not a switch-friendly one
