Shaper's Notes Born from the mysterious scrawls and ravings of riders / builders Tanner Crow and Willy Nevins, the Shop Rat has the soul of a pintail and the heart of a park board. The high-taper nose and hybrid camber keeps it unsinkable in pow and bottomless in turns, while the longer tail increases pop and stability to keep you on your feet and perfectly balanced. From pow to slush; from pillows to jibs; from icy skin tracks to lazy nose butters; the Shop Rat is our new backcountry smasher. In ski mode, the Shop Rat is perfectly balanced, while the long nose eats up trail-breaking, and a flat contact patch maximizes traction. Show more
