Expert reviews 1
A park-specialised snowboard with a camber-based hybrid construction and a medium-stiff flex of around 6/10, whose core strength is high versatility satisfying both jump stability and rail compatibility. Its true twin shape and light construction let you use it freely riding switch and across varied park features, making it a board suited to a broad range of park riders from intermediate to expert.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile: camber-dominant through the middle underfoot provides pop and stability, while rocker blended into the nose and tail tips reduces the risk of catching an edge.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex around 6 out of 10, providing ample stability on jump take-offs and landings while retaining enough flexibility for buttering.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It suits park riders from intermediate to expert level; a stiffness that requires some force when buttering makes it unsuitable for beginners.
Good
