Expert reviews 1
A tapered directional board with more emphasis on shape than the Aviator. Its excellent pop and carving suit riders who enjoy airborne moves and moderate-speed carving, but its soft waist makes it unsuitable for high-speed lines.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
A considerable amount of camber, with a touch of early rise just before it runs into the spoon nose. The spoon technology is concentrated only at the nose and tail, so it doesn't affect the effective edge — presses stay easy while stability is maintained.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. The centre bends easily while the tail is stiff and the nose soft.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For intermediate to expert riders. It fits riders who are playful but focused on airborne moves.
Good

Not so good
- —The considerably soft waist gives a washy feeling under the back foot
- —Not suited to long, high-speed lines
- —Limited float compared with Jones's dedicated powder models
