26/27 season review
A board that has been carried through many versions, and this generation is the best yet. It brings a snowsurf take to hard carving while still floating easily for a full-camber ride.
It is very technical and catchy, so not for intermediates.

Camber
A heavily tapered directional full camber. It floats surprisingly easily for a full-camber board.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
On the stiff side — a technical board that wants to be driven.

18/19 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A camber freeride board that gives you a fast, locked-in feel on groomers. Carving and high-speed stability are its strengths, but performance falls off on messy snow and it demands technique.

Camber
A camber-dominant construction with Uprise Fenders (side lift) and Grip Tech bumps added. It secures edge hold while creating forgiving riding.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A stiff flex at 8 out of 10, though compared with boards in its class it sits toward the medium end of stiff.

Advanced
For advanced to expert riders. It fits riders prioritising carving and high-speed performance and demands deliberate weight distribution.
What the review liked
- ✓Very fast and well damped, absorbing rough terrain well
- ✓Outstanding carving with a powerful edge bite
- ✓Stable at speed with strong pop out of turns
- ✓Surprisingly forgiving for such an aggressive design
What the review found lacking
- —Relying on the Uprise Fenders on hardpack makes it feel edgeless and washy
- —Lower powder float than comparable boards
- —The directional design means weak switch performance
- —It demands deliberate weight distribution and full engagement
