Expert reviews 1
A swallowtail snowsurf board specialised for riding that carries speed and flows like riding a big wave. Base glide rates 5/5 and speed 4.5/5, so its charging performance is excellent and powder is good too. Switch and jibbing rate 0.5/5, though, and it resists tight turns, giving it a very distinct character. It's for advanced riders who prioritise speed and powder.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A snowsurf board laying a hybrid camber onto a swallowtail tapered directional. With 20mm or more of setback, it's specialised for powder while still handling groomers.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium to upper-medium flex. It resists quick, short turns and suits flowing S-turns of medium to large radius.
Where it shines
Who it suits
An aggressive character that draws big arcs with speed, so it's for advanced to expert riders. The reviewer states flatly that it 'isn't a board for everyone'.
Good
- ✓Top-tier base glide (5/5)
- ✓Excellent speed (4.5/5)
- ✓Good powder performance (4/5) — the swallowtail handles the float
- ✓A good flowing turn feel at medium to large radii
Not so good
- —Switch riding is effectively impossible (0.5/5)
- —Jibbing is impossible too (0.5/5)
- —It resists fast, tight turns
- —Its distinct character divides opinion
