Expert reviews 1
A park-specific freestyle board with 14 years of history, whose Triple Base Technology delivers outstanding forgiveness in buttering and across park features. It isn't suited to high-speed carving, but it's a classic park board that gives park riders confidence and fun, and at a reasonable €450 you get high-end park performance.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
Triple Base technology lifts the nose and tail slightly into a spoon shape, and a Sidekick construction lifts the wide points a touch — a mild-camber-based hybrid profile.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft flex favouring buttering and rail tricks — soft enough that washout occurs during high-speed carving.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A park-specific freestyle board suiting intermediate and above riders with park experience rather than beginners; adapting to the Triple Base technology takes a little time, but once you're used to it, it inspires high confidence.
Good
- ✓Triple Base Technology makes buttering very easy and lets you hold a nose press for a long time
- ✓It provides a stable, forgiving ride across park features
- ✓It leaves jump lips smoothly and absorbs landing impact well
- ✓Easy to centre on rails, allowing confident riding
Not so good
- —Washout on both turn directions in high-speed carves means carving performance is lacking
- —Edge snap coming out of a butter into a spin is somewhat lacking
