Expert reviews 1
An extremely specialised powder-only deck combining full reverse camber, a powder-specific tapered shape and a convex base, whose float in deep fresh snow is unmatched. It shows serious limits in ordinary riding situations such as carving, switch and park, though, and it only suits advanced powder riders who already have a quiver. It's a highly selective board that may see fewer than five days of use a season.
Base shape (camber)
Rocker
A Full Reverse Camber profile where both ends curve upward from the middle of the board. It's outstanding for powder float, makes tail and nose presses easy and provides skate-like pop. The reduced effective edge limits carving performance.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A middle-of-the-road flex overall. Full reverse camber makes it feel softer than it is; the insert zone is comparatively stiff and the tips slightly soft. Torsional flex feels hard to twist because of the board's width rather than actual stiffness. Damping is better than expected, giving a smooth ride.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Full reverse camber makes edge control demanding, with serious limits in switch riding and ordinary groomer riding. It suits advanced riders only, as a specialised powder board within a quiver.
Good
- ✓Full reverse camber and the tapered shape deliver overwhelming float in powder, with buoyancy at a level that simply won't sink in deep snow
- ✓The convex bevelled base sheds snow like a boat hull, providing additional powder float
- ✓Tail and nose butters and powder presses come intuitively and easily
- ✓It provides the comfort to ride long days in powder without leg burn
Not so good
- —Carving performance is extremely limited, and the very short effective edge makes real carving impossible on groomers or packed snow
- —Full reverse camber makes the tips waver at speed and big air boosts off side hits difficult
- —A strong tendency to revert when riding switch or nose pressing makes control difficult
- —Only a single 157 size is offered, leaving no choice, and as a powder-only specialist its usable days per season are very limited
