This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
An all-mountain board that covers forgiveness and powder capability together. Buttering and glide are good and it works with either a setback or centred stance, but edge transition speed and hardpack performance are weak.
It suits riders who enjoy the whole mountain at a relaxed pace rather than aggressive carvers.
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 camber
A hybrid construction where camber runs just past the inserts before transitioning into a considerable amount of rocker at the nose and tail. Combined with a setback stance, it secures powder capability.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. With a large rocker share it gives up some pop compared with pure camber in exchange for forgiveness.

Intermediate · Advanced
It fits intermediates and up. Forgiving, but turns are leisurely for its width, so it only performs when you know how to handle the board.
