21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A directional board aimed at powder and carving together. Its round board shape delivers the pleasure of carving, and it glides well enough to build speed even on mellow pitches.
Its 'manual operation' philosophy means the rider has to control it actively with torque and weighting.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid rocker
A powder rocker construction combined with a long nose and a large sidecut radius (about 9m on the 161). Taper amount and flex balance are set differently per size, realising the fun of carving in a round board shape.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10, striking a balance between responsiveness and forgiveness.

It covers a broad range of ability, but designer Kazunori Hirama's 'manual operation' philosophy is central: it only performs when the rider actively controls the board through torque and loading.
