The Backcountry Board That Doesn't Ask You to Choose
Most splitboards make you pick a lane — tour-focused or ride-focused. The United Shapes Covert refuses that compromise. It's a board that earns its turns on the skin track and then rewards you on the way down with the kind of expressive, playful ride you'd expect from a solid all-mountain freestyle shape. 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 above Schweitzer or committing to a full-day objective in the Selkirks, the Covert is built to go the distance — and make the descent worth every step of the climb.

About United Shapes
United Shapes builds out of Truckee with a freeride-first ethos and a small-batch approach to construction. Every board in their lineup has a clear purpose and a no-filler design philosophy. The Covert is their answer to the rider who wants one board that does it all in the backcountry — and does it well. That's exactly the kind of gear we stock at 7B.
