Description
New Legalize split all mountain available in 3 sizes: 157, 161,165 cm It won the ski rando mag 2025 prize!
We decided to continue manufacturing it in Europe, we must say that it shakes up the world of splitboards quite a bit with its versatility and maneuverability. Ski rando mag has made it its favorite splitboard. If you ask Jean Louis St Arneault, he won't tell you otherwise. He developed it and wasn't wrong. If Jean Louis rides this splitboard you can trust him. He takes it everywhere around the legendary spot of La Grave in steep and snow-filled terrain. He decided to make it an all-mountain splitboard with a 3 cm set back on the back foot. So it's a splitboard that goes everywhere and does wonderfully in powder. The legalize incorporates floorboard technology which allows to gain in rigidity eliminates the small vertical play between the skis. This is the little extra of our splitboard series.
For once, we called on Roberto Ciredz, whose art speaks to us a lot. He manages to transcribe the lines of nature into drawings & on a board it lends itself well to it. The construction of the Legalize is solid, the top sheet has a biaxial fiber to give a playful side to this split, as often we mixed poplar with paulownia so that the core is playful. To bind the whole to the sole we used bio-sourced resin because we try as much as possible to limit breakage by manufacturing as close as possible to France but also by limiting our impact on nature. We gave it a flex of 8/10 because it is important to have rigidity on this kind of split. A splitboard is divided into 2 skis, if they are too soft, you risk breaking them, but also having a less efficient ascent. This is not the case with the Legalize. An IS7200 sintered sole is on board this almost full black split for easy repair, it is a hard and shock-resistant sole. The fewer cuts and the blacker it is, the better the glide. The Legalize comes with its Stone plastic clips and its aluminum Hooks in the color codes of the splitboard. A scraper bottle opener will also be delivered as standard, which will allow you to remove snow residue between the skis but also to open a nice cold beer at the top after your ride. The Legalize receives holes on the nose and tail to allow the nipples of our custom Stone seal skins to be inserted. You can put together a pack with skins, poles, knives and bindings directly in our splitboard section.

What is meant by flex?
This is the way a board tends to twist. At Stone we evaluate it from 0 to 10. The stiffer a board is, the more it is designed to send & less forgive. Conversely, the softer a board is, the less responsive it will be when relaunching but will forgive you certain mistakes. Let's explain: at the start, the softer a board is, the more over the sessions the board will become a real uncooked sausage. At Stone we consider that riding a board that is a little stiff at the start is really optimal. Why? The core of a board is always made over the days, weeks, months that you ride your board. At Stone, a Flex 7 is considered a good alternative to go everywhere. We will then gravitate between 6 & 8 to lean more or less towards a particular desire as regards the flex.
Flex 8: Attributed to freeride snowboards to have a strong rebound and a grip. Sometimes, the stiffer it is, the less forgiving it is, you have to be strong on your legs. In splitboard, this flex is also for fans of boards that do not move in the axis or in conversions. The flex is always done by the rider.
HARDENER 6012
Hardener 6012 is a light brown liquid that is a mixture of polyaminoamide and aliphatic amines, produced with up to 65% plant-derived carbon that has been confirmed by an independent radiocarbon laboratory in AMS tests in accordance with ASTM D6866. The final plant-derived carbon content depends on the ratio between the two components. In the case of SYSTEM 6012, it is 22%.
NEW FLOORBOARD SYSTEM
This brand new technology allows, among other things, to eliminate movements at the junction in the center of the board. A stainless steel plate that is inserted into its guide, it's so simple that we made you a drawing. The board is assembled as before and without difficulty, and rides like a classic split. A snow and ice scraper (provided) is to be fixed on a stick for easier assembly.
Directional shape with a 30cm set back.
Camber Detail: "Hybrid" Camber + Rocker. It's a mix between a Classic Camber & a Camber that pulls flat. Obviously the rocker will allow you to float like a boat.

SPLITBOARD
You can ride in the mountains with a snowboard that splits in two. No need to go ski touring to exult! You understand, the splitboard will allow you to climb your favorite or unknown mountains without snowploughing & having to ski back down! A splitboard has the same characteristics as a snowboard. It can be freeride, freestyle, all mountain... The bindings in ride mode will give all the rigidity of a classic snowboard. The construction is adapted to save weight. You will not feel any difference. Our Stone nose & tail tightening systems (clips & hooks) bring everything together perfectly. On all our models, our custom Stony skins match 100%. We are the only brand in the world to have 8 splitboards in the catalog, we believe strongly in this practice, which is why in winter 2020 we finished as the French leader in Splitboard. Thanks to you, we continue the adventure with the same passion.
FREERIDE
What's better than practicing your sport freely? Going off the beaten track, jumping any bump, enjoying the powder in all its forms! Freeriding is the very essence of snowboarding. To do this, it is essential to find out about the risks presented by the riding area, necessary to know the weather and wise to have the right board. Generally less centered on its inserts with sometimes a typical shape, the freeride snowboard is set back on the back leg (set back). Why? The more you are on the back leg, the less you will force & the more you will float in the powder. You can recenter your bindings by moving them from insert to insert but if you don't do it you will not be hindered on the slope to make a turn or any curves.
ALL MOUNTAIN
It's a bit like freestyle with a freeride accent. A more experienced rider will take an all mountain splitboard to go everywhere. Both on the slopes and in the powder or in a snowpark. If we have the budget, we will definitely have one board per practice. It's always better, now if we don't want to rack our brains, then we will choose this program to do everything. Generally with a slight set back on the back foot of a few centimeters, we will also notice that the flex is often a little stiffer, which is a little less forgiving than a freestyle board. When we have to send it on the slopes or in variable snow, it will hold better. This is what differentiates a freestyle board from an all mountain. Our Team rider Hugo Serra rides an all mountain in all circumstances. This is the kind of board he rode on the Freeride World Tour with. Chaining beautiful curves then jumping rock bars & doing a little flat... if that's what you're looking for then the all mountain board is the versatile board par excellence.
