25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
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.
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.
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.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. The centre bends easily while the tail is stiff and the nose soft.
