Expert reviews 1
A directional swallowtail powder board. It floats excellently while still handling groomer carving, and its signature trait is producing a centred feeling despite its aggressive setback and taper.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional camber where a considerable amount of camber runs from the tail before giving way to a large early rise just ahead of a very big nose. It's a swallowtail powder shape with heavy setback and taper, yet it actually feels more centred than that suggests.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Quite soft and rubbery for a freeride/snowsurf board, it springs out of turns with liveliness.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For advanced to expert riders. A capable intermediate can ride it, but has to accept the risk of catching an edge.
