The Backcountry Split That Takes You Anywhere
The United Shapes Covert is the versatile shaped split charger endorsed by human mountain goat Nick Russell. It's a board that rewards you on the way down with the kind of expressive, playful ride you'd expect from a solid all-mountain freestyle shape. Don't let that fool you though, this thing absolutely crushes huge terrain. The tapered directional outline and positive camber give you the edge hold and stability you need when the terrain gets consequential, while the early rise nose and kick-tail keep things light and maneuverable when you find the goods. Whether you're lapping the sidecountry or committing to a full-day objective, the Covert is built to go the distance and make the descent worth every step of the climb.
