Slash Portal vs Slash Straight

How they compare

Both boards are designed for powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Slash Portal has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Slash Straight uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Slash Portal is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
