A park-oriented twin board with a cam-rocker hybrid profile, and a practical value pick that's strong at buttering, jibbing and small-to-medium jumps. Its soft flex and low rebound responsiveness limit it in high-performance carving and big jumps, and keeping your knees bent is essential to stay stable on rough snow. Overall it's a straightforward, consistent board suited to intermediate park riders.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
A CamRock construction with rocker at the nose and tail and camber in the middle of the board — a hybrid profile. The centre camber provides pop, snap and drive, while the rocker at the tips increases powder float and ease of entering and exiting turns.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft flex below middle overall. The nose and tail are more flexible, underfoot is comparatively stiff and the centre softens again. Torsional flex is soft too, favouring butter and jib play over stability.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It suits intermediates who can bend their knees and hold a stable stance. A soft flex and rockered tips can bounce on rough snow, making it somewhat demanding for beginners, while advanced riders pursuing high-level carving or big jumps will find its performance lacking.
Good
- ✓Excellent buttering and jibbing, with the rockered tips' sweet spot locking onto features and staying stable
- ✓The soft, flexible feel makes presses easy, with enough snap on release for a natural 180 pop out
- ✓Smooth, fluid edge power delivery suits short and medium carves and park setup turns
- ✓A reasonably priced entry park board with consistent performance
Not so good
- —The soft rockered tips chatter and bounce badly on rutted snow, hurting stability
- —Low rebound responsiveness means weak snap, and it isn't suited to big jumps or high-energy riding
- —A lack of tail drive power makes aggressive deep carve trenches hard to lay down
