25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
An old-school park twin built on traditional camber, delivering a consistent ride specialised for jibbing, buttering and freestyle tricks. Its flex between a full noodle and middle-of-the-road, plus predictable pop, are its strengths, but it's limited in hard carving and on large jumps.
It's a nostalgia board suited to riders who miss the old Stairmaster's feel or intermediate-and-above riders who want a camber twin park board.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A Spring Break Resort V1 camber profile: traditional camber with a small flat section just before the contact points. In practice it loads and provides pop, snap and drive almost identically to traditional camber, while the flat sections act as press points at the nose and tail.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A true twin with a flex pattern that is soft at the tips and stiffens progressively underfoot. It's neither a complete noodle nor middle-of-the-road, sitting somewhere between. Torsional flex is somewhat muted and rebound isn't quick — slightly delayed but predictable. For a Capita build the core has volume, giving it a settled feel.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
Camber's characteristic edge catch and the possibility of hooking at the contact points make it unsuitable for beginners. It suits intermediate and above riders familiar with park, jibbing and buttering, especially those who enjoy an old-school park style.
What the review liked
- ✓Consistent pop and snap close to traditional camber give it a familiar, predictable ride feel, like a board you have ridden 100 days
- ✓The press sweet spot created by the flat sections at nose and tail locks in naturally during jibs, butters and slides, holding well right to the end of the feature
- ✓The hooky character of the contact points provides extra torque on flatland tricks such as cab spins, keeping that distinctive old-school feel
- ✓Enough flex to absorb impact on rutted terrain, with stable riding and no tip flapping
What the review found lacking
- —Camber's character risks the contact points hooking in hard carves, making it unsuitable for aggressive carving
- —Insufficient pop limits it on large jump lines and ollies over high obstacles, requiring you to actively pull your knees up
