The Eclipse is a powder & freeride hybrid that prefers trees, powder and steeps. Like many powder boards, the Eclipse has a very wide nose and a tapered crescent tail, but it differentiates itself with a mid-stiff flex, Weston's Freeride camber-dominant profile and only 10mm of setback. This combination keeps the board nimble in trees, reliable on crud, and floaty in deep snow. A powerful core of poplar and bamboo stringers keep this board smooth and surfy with tip to tail carbon stringers to give it a little extra pop. The castor bean based, Rugged Nylon topsheet, helps shed snow and adds durability while the Sintered 4001 base provides top of the line speed in a minimalist black design to create seamless repairs. All of this helps the Eclipse to slay pow while still performing in variable conditions as you hop from pow stash to pow stash.
With the Mission Series, Weston has teamed up with Tlingit Artist and Co-Owner of the Trickster Company, Crystal Worl, along with Zeal Optics, Smartwool, Pret and MountainFLOW Eco Wax under the Haa Aanà Alliance. This alliance was formed to create the Salmon Way of Life collaboration which gives back to restore and preserve the waterways and salmon spawning grounds of not just Alaska, but these habitats globally.
Graphic Inspiration: Xat Kusteey (hot kut-see-yee) to the Tlingit of Alaska, or "Salmon Way of Life" inspires this artwork by Crystal Worl at Trickster Company.
Rider Type: Prefers to spend time weaving through the trees hunting for fresh stashes, earth-surfing turns, and sending it through open powder fields.
Key Benefits: Hybrid Performance - A freeride board hidden behind a powder shape.
Poplar + Bamboo Core - Sustainably harvested, the blend keeps the board smooth and surfy with a good amount of pop.
Directional Freeride Camber - Subtle rocker in the nose and tail provide additional float without losing stability. Camber underfoot provides confident edgehold and pop.
