Step back into a piece of snowboarding history and experience legendary powder performance with the O-SIN 4807 Snowboard. Hailing from Original Sin Snowboards, a brand with a rich heritage in big mountain riding, the 4807 is a highly sought-after model renowned for its unparalleled float and unique ride in deep snow. This board is less about the park and more about dominating vast, untouched powder fields, whether you’re chasing storms in Little Cottonwood Canyon or exploring the deepest stashes at Snowbird.

The defining characteristic of the 4807 is its highly tapered directional shape with a distinctive V-nose tip (often described as a “boat hull” nose) and a pronounced fishtail or swallowtail at the rear. This combination is engineered to maximize float in powder by keeping the nose effortlessly above the snow while the tail sinks, allowing for a surfy, intuitive ride. Many riders often convert the stock fishtail into a more aggressive swallowtail to further enhance its powder performance.

Underneath its unique profile, the 4807 typically features a directional camber profile with camber towards the tail and an early rise in the boat hull nose. This provides power and drive when engaging the tail for turns, while the massive, uplifted nose keeps you effortlessly afloat. The core is often a full-length poplar core for a lightweight yet durable foundation. Construction typically includes tri-axial fiber for torsional stiffness and responsiveness, and a layered TR 2750 Graphite base for exceptional glide and speed.

Known for a generally medium-stiff flex underfoot that transitions to a softer flex in the nose and tail, the 4807 offers a unique balance of dampness and pop. While it excels in powder, it also boasts surprising capabilities on groomed snow, offering a distinctive carving experience when you pressure the tail. The O-SIN 4807 Snowboard is a board for the connoisseur—a highly specialized powder hound that delivers an unforgettable, surf-inspired ride.

What’s the deal with swallowtails anyway?
The swallow tail cut in the rear allows the tail to sink and the big pointy nose to float up in powder, which keeps you on top of the snow.
