Expert reviews 1
An aggressive all-mountain freeride board for larger riders. It sits between the Orca and the T.Rice Pointy, strong on speed and big air while still handling powder. Base maintenance is on the demanding side.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
Lib Tech C2X — a directional construction with rocker between the feet and camber zones under each foot. The front camber is longer and elliptical while the rear is shorter and aggressive. A mid-wide shape aimed at larger riders in boots US 10 and up.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex at 8 out of 10. The nose and tail are stiff while the centre has a little more give.
