Expert reviews 1
Arthur Longo's pro model, an all-mountain freestyle board that combines a freeride-shaped directional outline with freestyle-oriented internal construction. A bamboo core, carbon amplifiers and hybrid glassing combine to deliver pop, stability and speed, optimised for intermediate to advanced riders roaming the whole resort freely. It's an all-purpose board usable broadly across powder, groomers, side hits and park.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Very close to traditional camber: strong camber forms from the middle of the board to the contact points, with small flat sections at the nose and tail just before the contact points providing a little forgiveness — a camber-based hybrid.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex able to accommodate a broad range of riders, with bamboo rods and carbon flex amplifiers providing strong spring and pop.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A medium-stiff flex and strongly camber-based profile call for a degree of riding skill — a board aimed at intermediate to advanced riders.
Good
- ✓Bamboo rods combined with carbon flex amplifiers deliver excellent pop and spring
- ✓V-shaped carbon in the nose and straight carbon in the tail secure powder float and switch landing stability
- ✓Basalt plus triaxial hybrid glassing provides smoothness alongside power and precision
- ✓The Hyperdrive ADV XT base is excellent for both durability and speed
Not so good
- —The camber-based shape and medium-stiff flex present a barrier to entry for beginners
- —Edge-to-edge transitions are somewhat slower than full camber, so it's less responsive than a dedicated carving board
