Tail clip kits, skin assemblies, and systems for splitboard skis

A skin assembly for a splitboard ski assembly, comprising:

• a splitboard skin extending from a nose end to a tail end;
• a nose clip coupled to the nose end of the splitboard skin;
• and
• a stretcher comprising a base, a strap, and a plurality of protrusions extending outward from a surface of the strap, wherein:
• the base is coupled to the tail end,
• the strap extends away from the tail end distal to the nose end, and
• the strap is configured to provide a friction interface with a tail clip of the splitboard ski assembly.

A splitboard skin system, comprising:

• a tail clip comprising a first hook, a second hook, a third hook, and a plurality of elongated apertures;
• and
• a skin assembly, comprising;
• a splitboard skin;
• a nose clip coupled to a nose end of the splitboard skin;
• and
• a stretcher extending from a tail end of the splitboard skin distal to the nose end,
• the stretcher configured to frictionally engage at least one rail defined by the plurality of elongated apertures.

A tail clip, comprising:

• a plate portion;
• a plurality of hooks extending from the plate portion;
• a plurality of elongated apertures extending through the plate portion, wherein:
• the tail clip configured to engage a tail end of a splitboard ski,
• each elongated aperture in the plurality of elongated apertures is elongated in a lateral direction and spaced apart in a longitudinal direction,
• the tail clip is adaptable to various splitboard shapes,
• the tail clip is configured to receive a stretcher that is offset from a lateral center of an elongated aperture in the plurality of elongated apertures in a first lateral direction in response to the tail clip engaging a first board shape of the various splitboard shapes,
• the tail clip is configured to receive the stretcher that is offset from the lateral center in a second lateral direction in response to the tail clip engaging a second board shape of the various splitboard shapes, the second lateral direction being opposite the first lateral direction, and
• the tail clip is configured to receive the stretcher that is substantially aligned with the lateral center in response to the tail clip engaging a third board shape of the various splitboard shapes.
