Splitboard.com Forums

Pretty basic, anybody ever split one? Or ridden one unsplit for that matter? I've seen and heard the shorter tapers make out all right when chopped up. Good idea? Should I be locked up?

Just gonna bump this. Been on the road for the last few weeks so today was the first time I got to see my snazzy new swallowtail in person . Inlaid in the base, up on the nose of the board is a metal medallion deal about 2 inches wide and 1.5 inches in length, says Notch. Is this gonna cause some problems for a split? I've seen people split through Burton boards with those center inserts just fine, but then I've also seen some delam hell as well (on this forum I think). Some professional opinions would be nice here.

I have a Notch 58 that I use on the East Coast for deep days, however, the Notch series is built the same through out the line. My only reservation on splitting a Notch would be cutting through what Rome calls their " carbon centerline stringer technology." Basically they lay carbon down the center of the board and upon splitting it I don't know how effective that aspect of the board will remain. The medal medallion is paper thin and will not pose any problems.
