Fissile 161 #4069
The Fissile was designed to float like a long-board that turns on a dime. Its elongated nose and 6.5m turning radius offer a ride that emulates surfing waves and is guaranteed to produce face shots, thanks to its pointy nose! Tested back to back against the current trend of blunt noses, the pointy nose was always our rider's choice in pure powder.
It’s suggested to ride the Fissile longer than your current ride as the elongated nose doesn’t touch down unless you’re in the deep stuff!
The Fissile is named after a large, prominent peak located behind Whistler Mountain that contains perhaps the biggest couloirs in the whole valley.

The Fissile was designed to float like a long-board that turns on a dime. Its elongated nose and 6.5m turning radius offer a ride that emulates surfing waves and is guaranteed to produce face shots, thanks to its pointy nose! Blunt noses take away floatability as they are designed to reach a maximum effective edge. Just take a look at our alpine race boards!
It’s suggested to ride the Fissile about 8-10cms longer than your current ride as the elongated nose doesn’t touch down unless you’re in the deep stuff!

Further Customization
Custom Shapes
The Prior shop has been making custom "one off" snowboards since 1989. The layout and design of our factory has been built with this in mind. We can make a board to pretty much any shape and flex pattern you want. The following chart outlines prices for common revisions to existing templates:
| Description | C$ surcharge |
| Custom flex (softer or stiffer) | $70* |
| Narrowing waist | $150* |
| Widening waist | $150* |
| Full Custom Shape: total price +taxes |
2000 |
*These prices are estimates, and are variable depending on the shape and your specific request. Over 1cm of widening needs a custom template.
To apply one of these additional requests to your order, simply search on the website the word "custom" and pick whichever item applies and add to cart along with your order. Write any notes in the additional notes section and we will be in touch if we have any further questions.
Complete Custom Shapes
If your dream board requires more than the revisions listed above please email us with your ideas. Some discussion will be required to determine the best performance results. Ultimately the price will be determined by the complexity of the project.
Lead Times
6-8 weeks upon confirmed order.
Extra Notes

Prices may change depending upon degree of difficulty.
length restrictions = 197cm

Custom Graphics
Prior has been offering custom graphics since 1989 and provides a complete custom topsheet and base graphic service. This is ideal for riders who want a one-of-a-kind look on their Prior board, and for companies who desire special corporate gifts and/or promotions. Custom Topsheet fees are single set up design fees, and are required for tooling cost coverage. Custom to-sheets can be applied to multiple product and charges are split accordingly. Please contact us for any further enquiries or to begin the design process.
Topsheet Artwork
Topsheet design and colour options are almost unlimited. We can print topsheets of photo color quality. All topsheets are sublimated onto a white, matte nylon topsheet for a professional look and finish. (sorry we cannot sublimate onto a clear topsheet material therefore clear windows are not an option for one off customs). Above prices based on receipt of art in digital file format in either of the following formats:
* For art that is done in vector based (ie. Illustrator or similar) program we require artwork in PDF or AI format.
* For bit mapped based art (ie. Photoshop or similar) we require TIFF, PSD or PDFformats. The File size must be 300 DPI in rectangular shape that measures 6cm longer than desired board length x 34cm wide. Note that files will likely be in excess of 100MB and can be sent by Dropbox etc or dropped off at the factory.
Base Artwork
Prior offers diecut custom bases in one to three colors. As base colors are cut with a drag blade knife, so there are some design limitations. We ask that you first email a low res jpeg file to us for review and approval.
For any custom topsheet or shaping project you will need to contact our sales staff for guidance and accurate quotes. Please email us at orders@priorsnow.com or call 604 935 1923 to chat about your custom artwork or other custom options.
Timing
Our build times vary based on production volume and seasonal needs. We always aim to have your order built within 4 weeks of confirming your order. Sometimes this time will vary but rest assured we are putting the time and effort into hand building your custom ride!
For full custom orders build time is typically 6-8 weeks due to the supplier requirements for non-inventory items.
Afraid you won't have your order in time for your big mission or trip? Don't worry we will do our best to accommodate rush orders that are communicated to us at orders@priorsnow.com
