The SPOON FISH 146 is not just a mid-range board, between the "SPOON FISH 141" and "SPOON FISH 152". The surf style of the SPOON FISH has been tuned up for women. The nose width and deeper slits, which are slightly narrower than the others, combined with the dedicated flex, make it a new option for female riders. Step on the front foot to initiate the turn, and then load the back foot in the latter half of the turn to take advantage of the slingshot effect of the accelerator camber, allowing you to make surprisingly sharp turns.

    ACCEL CAMBER

    The Accel Camber was designed by Taro Tamai in 1998 and was featured on the Speedmaster, which was released in 2000 for testing and added to the 2001-2002 model. Conventional camber (bend) applies equal pressure to the entire edge during turns, resulting in smoother, more stable carving and turning. The camber extends approximately 3cm from the front to the center of the board, extending from its widest point. Pressing this camber against the snow surface with weight enables turning. While effective on two-dimensional (flat) slopes like ski resorts and hard snow surfaces (ice or compacted snow), in fresh or deep snow or three-dimensional natural terrain, the curve in the opposite direction to the board's direction of travel can actually catch on things, reducing free movement.

    The GENTEMSTICK Accel Camber is a groundbreaking design that eliminates this snag, preventing the tip of the board from sinking into the snow, even in deep or fresh snow, and positions the board for natural buoyancy. It was developed to ensure the board's shape delivers optimal gliding performance when the rider stands on the snow in a natural position. The board is completely flat from the widest point of the nose to the front foot, with an arched bend extending from the front foot to the tail's widest point, approximately 3cm toward the center. (The peak of the arch is near the back foot.) When the rider stands on the board, the arched bend collapses, leaving the nose just touching the snow from the front foot down, or slightly elevated. This position maximizes the board's gliding performance, and is similar to the positioning required to achieve maximum speed in downhill skiing.

    The accelerator camber has an arched bend between A and B.

    By stepping down on your back foot, the board becomes flat and the area from the C part to the nose gently rises off the snow surface, which drastically reduces the resistance of the snow flowing under the board.

    In recent years, other major companies have also released systems similar to the Accel Camber, but the key to systems like the Accel Camber, which have a bend further back than the center of the board, is the rocker design toward the nose. The original GENTEMSTICK Accel Camber is designed with particular attention to the area from where the camber ends to the widest point of the nose. The main purpose is to eliminate resistance from the snow surface on the nose.
