20/21 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A swallowtail board specialised for powder float through a 3D base and a thick big nose. You can make tight turns by weighting the back foot, but it demands a flat or forward-leaning stance, so it feels different from a conventional powder board.
It's close to backcountry- and powder-only.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid rocker
A construction combining a thick 3D nose with a convex, hull-like sole. The sidecut is loaded toward the rear, so pressing with the back foot produces tight turns. A swallowtail shape with an extremely wide big nose handles powder float.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. A thick nose construction gives a strong sense of float, and 3D shaping keeps snow contact smooth.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
For intermediate to advanced riders. You ride it flat or leaning forward rather than sitting back, so it feels different from a typical powder board.
What the review liked
- ✓The extremely wide big nose and thick 3D construction give overwhelming powder float
- ✓The convex base smooths contact with the snow for good handling
- ✓The sidecut is loaded toward the rear, so weighting the back foot allows tight turns
- ✓Ultralight dry carbon keeps it light
What the review found lacking
- —Extremely powder-specialised, so versatility on groomers is low
- —It won't deliver its performance in the backseat, so it takes adapting to
- —Not remotely intended for park or jibbing
