The 2018-19 season marks the tenth anniversary of the very first Bent Chetler, and the powder planks have only gotten better with age—an attribute shared by its creator, Chris Benchetler. The Bent Chetler is a damn dream for surfing deep snow conditions, thanks to an ultra-light karuba wood core and HRZN Tech—horizontal rocker and lateral ABS sidewalls—in the tip and tails that transforms these babies into speed boats for the snow. Add in a carbon backbone and camber underfoot for stability, and you’ve got the whole package. “The poppiest pow ski ever,” described Adrian Bouthot. “Hops around like a butterfly but can put the landing gear down like a beast.”
