Expert reviews 2
A high-performance freeride board specialised for carving and powder, built on a fully asymmetric design, full camber and carbon-reinforced construction. The asymmetric sidecut's effect stands out particularly in heelside carves, giving advanced riders who want deep, intense turns an experience they won't find elsewhere. It isn't suited to park or buttering, but it's a strongly characterful board that delivers top-level fun in groomer carving and powder riding.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A full traditional camber profile between the contact points. A directional shape with 20mm setback and 29mm taper, placing more material toward the nose with a short tail — an asymmetric directional camber.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A flex between medium and stiff — stiff overall and highly responsive. It claims an asymmetric directional flex, but in practice it feels balanced and stiff. A powerful flex specialised for carving and powder rather than buttering.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A stiff flex, full camber, asymmetric design and demands for high responsiveness and precision make it suitable for advanced riders with plenty of carving and freeride experience. It's a high-performance board that beginners and intermediates will find hard to handle.
Good
- ✓A fully asymmetric design (sidecut, effective edge and flex all asymmetric) provides an unmatched carving experience
- ✓Extra edge material on the heelside allows far deeper heelside turns than expected
- ✓A carbon weave-reinforced fibreglass layup maximises torsional responsiveness and energy
- ✓29 mm taper plus 20 mm setback and directional camber deliver excellent powder float
- ✓Stable with no chatter at speed, with excellent edge hold
Not so good
- —The short tail creates psychological hesitation when riding switch
- —Unsuited to park and trick use, with limited playful riding such as buttering
- —You have to buy the Regular or Goofy version separately, and only two sizes (157, 162) are offered
- —Its advanced performance orientation makes it hard for beginners and intermediates to approach
