“Speak softly and carry a big stick, you’ll go far” – Teddy Roosevelt

Without a doubt the worst part of snowboarding is getting stuck out on the flats and being forced to either unclip or attempt the dreaded “penguin walk”. Kahuna Creations believes they may have come up with a solution with their Snow Stick, an adjustable aluminum pole modeled after a stand-up surf paddle. It definitely wouldn’t be the first time somebody brought a ski pole along on a board, but the Snow Stick is specially designed with “teeth” for increased grip on the snow. On level ground the Snow Stick is used to propel you forwards and on the downhills it can be used as a counter weight to let you carve harder and deeper then you could by just extending your arms.

You may be speaking softly after your friends start ribbing you, but then again, you’ll be able to leave them in the dust on the flats, plus you’ll be carrying a big stick with jagged teeth on the end of it. Make of that situation what you will.
