Very excited to share that our Tailgunner made Gear Of The Year / Best Snowboards of 2020 in the new Gear Guide addition of Outside Magazine. Here's what they had to say -
Best for Steep and Deep Days
Born at Baldface Lodge (a Canadian cat-skiing operation that’s high on every powder hound’s bucket list), with input from its guide team, Signal’s Tailgunner is locked and loaded for bottomless days. This year the company revamped its carbon-infused fiberglass construction, making it stiffer and more responsive. That build, combined with a compact, rigid tail and new camber-heavy profile, prompted one rider to laud the board’s ability to hold an edge. While a couple of freestyle-oriented testers deemed the broad-nosed Tailgunner strictly a powder tool, our freeride contingent considered it an adaptable all-mountain shape they’d be stoked to use anytime, anywhere. A big-mountain rider with a penchant for stiffer decks poetically summed up the design’s versatility: “Body of a pow board, mind of an aggressive charger, impish soul of a jib stick.”
