Expert reviews 1
A soft, lively powder-oriented board for lighter riders, with outstanding buttering and pop in low-angle resort powder and tree runs. Excessive torsional flex limits hard carving, though, and it isn't a fit for heavier riders or hard carvers. The single 147 size is a constraint, but for the right rider it delivers a very enjoyable ride.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Amplid's 'Cruise Camber' profile keeps a mellow traditional camber through the middle with rocker blended into the nose. It provides camber's pop and drive while the nose rocker makes turn entry easy and improves powder float.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft flex below middle overall. The nose is the softest, the insert zone (midsection) the stiffest, and the tail somewhere in between. Torsional flex is abundant so it twists readily, and the nose can flap noticeably on bumpy terrain.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A light, highly responsive board optimised for powder riding on low-angle terrain, suiting lighter riders. It isn't recommended for heavier riders or advanced riders who want hard carving. It suits intermediates with some experience rather than beginners.
Good
- ✓Outstanding buttering and pop in powder (mini swallowtail included)
- ✓The mellow camber makes edge loading easy in powder
- ✓High liveliness and energy in low-angle tree runs and resort powder
- ✓Appropriate responsiveness in short, quick setup turns
Not so good
- —Excessive torsional flex overflexes the tail in hard carves, making the limit clear
- —Severe nose buckling on bumpy terrain makes it hard to control
- —Not a fit for heavier riders
- —Released in a single 147 size only, so the choice is very narrow
