Expert reviews 3
A women's freeride board designed with steep terrain in mind. It is super agile and playful if ridden correctly, but its full high setback camber means the experience depends a lot on snow conditions and on the rider's ability to ride back-foot dominant.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A tapered directional shape with a full, high setback camber, so conditions and riding stance shape the experience a lot.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Medium, and it will butter reasonably.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Advanced and up — it only comes alive if you can ride back-foot dominant.
Good
- ✓Designed with steep terrain in mind
- ✓Super agile and playful if ridden correctly
- ✓Good edge hold on firm snow
Not so good
- —The experience is greatly affected by snow conditions
- —It depends heavily on the rider's ability to ride back-foot dominant
A directional all-mountain board created with Elena Hight and Victor Daviet, combining high camber, 3D contour tips, triax fibreglass, B-Comp carbon V's and Koroyd tips for multi-purpose performance covering powder float, carving and freestyle. Its medium-stiff flex and Traction Tech edges deliver powerful edge hold even on hardpack ice, and Koroyd tips balance swing weight to provide freestyle usefulness close to a twin tip. It's a smart choice for intermediate to advanced riders who want a freeride bent while still covering the park.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile maintaining high camber between the contact points, with 3D contouring (a spoon-shaped rocker/flat blend) applied at the nose and tail tips. It keeps camber's powerful pop and drive while providing a catch-free ride feel.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex, providing ample stiffness for high-speed carving and hardpack edge hold while still allowing some flexibility when entering the park.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A medium-stiff flex, powerful edge hold and directional shape make it hard for beginners to handle, suiting intermediate to advanced riders with an all-mountain and freeride bent.
Good
- ✓High camber plus triax fibreglass and B-Comp carbon flex V's secure strong pop, power and stability
- ✓An 8 mm taper and 3D contour nose deliver excellent float in powder
- ✓Medium Traction Tech edges provide excellent edge hold in icy hardpack conditions
- ✓Koroyd tip inserts balance swing weight, providing a spin feel close to a twin tip
- ✓A 2 cm setback plus Koroyd tips give it high freestyle usefulness despite the directional shape
Not so good
- —The directional shape and medium-stiff flex limit switch riding and appeal to pure park/trick riders
- —The camber's responsiveness and stiffness can be demanding for beginners
