23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Roxy Dawn 146 is a beginner-only deck with Easy Rise rocker and a soft flex, making turn initiation very easy and suiting the learning of basic freestyle moves. Chatter and instability appear at speed and on bumpy terrain, and insufficient jump pop makes it unsuitable for intermediate and above riders.
It's a board to recommend to beginners aiming to perfect skidded turns and explore basic terrain.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Rocker
An Easy Rise rocker profile with the middle sagging downward. It has little camber, so it's easy for beginners to handle, but high-speed stability and pop on jumps are on the weak side.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft, forgiving flex. Simple freestyle moves such as presses are possible, but jump pop and high-speed stability are lacking.

New
Roxy's official target is beginners too, and it suits beginner uses such as soft, easy turn initiation, practising skidded turns and getting started in trees and bumps. On intermediate terrain chatter and instability appear, with limits at speed and on jumps.
