Expert reviews 1
A powder-oriented all-mountain board with a surf-inspired directional design and a shifted camber profile. It's strong in powder and backcountry exploration and handles resort all-mountain riding fine, but high-speed carving and park performance aren't its main purpose. It's a fitting choice for upper-intermediate riders who enjoy an exploratory riding style.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A camber-based directional camber profile — a 'shifted camber' shape with positive camber from the front foot to the tail and a reverse camber (rocker) blend at the nose. Under load, the nose's rocker effect amplifies, improving powder performance.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Slightly stiffer than medium. The directional outline and setback make the nose comparatively easy to flex while the tail feels powerful. Trick moves such as buttering are somewhat limited.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A flex slightly stiffer than medium, a directional design and specialised features such as 50mm setback suit intermediates and up rather than beginners. It's recommended for riders who enjoy powder and all-mountain exploration.
Good
- ✓A 50 mm setback, 15 mm taper and directional outline deliver excellent float in powder
- ✓Tip-to-tail carbon stringers with 45-degree carbon and triaxial fibreglass layup provide low weight and high responsiveness
- ✓The Burton Channel system gives high stance-width freedom and compatibility with most bindings
- ✓The sintered base gives it excellent durability and speed
Not so good
- —Chatter (flutter) develops in the long nose during high-speed carves, somewhat limiting high-speed performance
- —The short tail makes it tricky to keep your weight centred on park landings, limiting park versatility
- —It isn't wide, so powder float relies mainly on the shape and setback
