Test Results
Sandy Shapes Virtuosa Splitboard has an incredible float for a board with 159 cm. While standing quite centered the nose keeps up. If you shift your weight a bit further back and you brake and feel like surfing bigger waves, even if the Virtuosa Split has no swallowtail. On the slopes it manages nice carved curves and enough pop to inspire even heavier riders. It is very manoeuvrable in rough, hard terrain and can withstand even heavy loads.
In the ascent we have to deduct a few points due to the wide nose. A little more stability would be good, but once you get used to it, you can quickly reach the necessary safety during the way up. Otherwise crampons on and on you go. This board is a handmade piece of art and comes with a bottle of oil for maintenance.
