Expert reviews 1
The Moss Snowstick U4 is a back-foot-centred snowsurf board for smaller riders. Turn entry is very fast for its class, and hardpack edge hold and powder float are both good. That said, it's a board where the rider has to adapt to Moss's distinctive design philosophy, so it demands considerable adaptation and skill.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional camber construction that maintains responsiveness at the nose and centre while producing directional float and control. Moss's characteristic back-foot-centred design means you make turns by loading the back foot, like carving in under a lip while surfing.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Medium to medium-stiff at 6 out of 10. The tail is noticeably softer, making buttering easy.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For advanced to expert riders. It requires an understanding of turn mechanics and the willingness to learn an unfamiliar back-foot-centred riding style.
