VÖLKL Cashew Snowboard

The VÖLKL Cashew is an innovative backcountry freestyle board, it also represents an important step towards sustainable and ecological manufacturing. Instead of a plastic topsheet, the Cashew features a tear-proof hemp/linen topsheet. 80% of the sintered base is made of recycled material while flexible wooden sidewalls replace the conventional ABS plastic ones. VÖLKL used recyclable steel for the Cashew's edges and as little resin and other toxicological materials as possible, which means they have cut down on the use of resources but not of technology and know-how! A unique combination of a directional sidecut, Rocker Shape and Convex Powder Base provides incredibly playful riding behavior as well as maximum flotation in powder snow. An integrated Shock Absorber makes the board super stable for huge jumps too. The ultimate package for backcountry and park ventures and at the same time, for a better future!
