Concept UL w/ Rocker

By Dogfunk.com Employee August 7, 2009

Do you love the Concept UL, but wish it had that extra oomph on powder days? Then the Slackcountry is what you've been waiting for.

The Slackcountry has all the features that the Concept UL has except two. It doesn't have Stainless Steal edges, but seriously you won't miss them in the conditions you'll be riding this deck in and it also drops the price of the deck $50. It does feature Ride's Highrize rocker, which is flat under foot through the binding inserts and then the nose rockers up about 6mm and the tail rockers up about 4mm.

You're going to get everything that is great about the Concept UL along with all the float you could ever want on those deep days we all dream about. This board also won Backcountry Magazine Editor's Choice award for 2010.
