The Alpine Slalom Race Snowboard

About the Kessler The Alpine

Handmade in Switzerland and designed by Hansjurg Kessler, the Kessler Alpine is the most aggressive board in the Kessler line. The Alpine continues to dominate all races worldwide and is a consistent medal winner across all disciplines. The Alpine is designed to be used with hard boots and extreme angles so that carving reaches it's maximum potential.

Kessler have 3 snowboards in their range – an Alpine race board (The Alpine), a boardercross race board (The Cross) and The Kessler Ride. Designed by the legendary Hansjurg Kessler and hand made in Switzerland, Kessler snowboards were the first in the world to enable full-blown power riding without compromising effortless handling and total control. The philosophy is simple: make a fast snowboard using the very latest and best high tech materials but make it easy to ride because only when you are in total control of your snowboard will you be able to ride fast. This is why so many winning racers ride Kessler. When discussing the design philosophy with Hansjurg, he claimed the boards are so easy to ride they can be ridden by a beginner.

One of the most innovative features on the Kessler boards is the use of their Hybrid camber profile. This profile is very similar to a traditional 'positive camber' profile, but features a reverse camber section in the nose and tail, which engage when the board is loaded. This means that you are getting the energetic, lively, and powerful benefits of traditional camber, but the catch free, floaty feel of a reverse camber when you want your snowboard to be more versatile.

Kessler specialise in hand built snowboards so, if you would like a custom board hand built to your own specifications, please contact us. Custom prices come in at around €1,200 depending on your specific requirements.

If you want a snowboard that is race proven, has dominated and won all racing events all over the world and will allow you to ride as fast and smoothly then there is no better board than a Kessler.

Please Note: This snowboard has been traded in and has been used. Since it has been used there are noticeable marks, scuffs and scratches throughout the entire board. Even though this board was traded in, it does have the premium DPS Phantom 2.0 Permanent Waxless Base Glide treatment so you won't need to apply wax to this board. This is purely cosmetic damage and will not effect the performance of the board. Further details can be seen in the product images.
