23/24 · 22/23 · 21/22 · 20/21 · 19/20 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A snowsurf board that demands a riding mechanic different from convention. For riders who adapt to the unfamiliar front-foot-weighted approach, it repays them with outstanding powder performance and responsiveness.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid construction combining traditional camber with rocker elements. Its large nose area gives excellent powder float, and it's designed so you make turns by loading the front foot.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium to medium-stiff flex at 7 out of 10. When buttering on snow, the tip and tail feel quite soft.

Advanced
For advanced to expert riders. Contrary to typical freeride boards, it only performs when you load the front foot heavily, so adaptation is needed.
