This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A directional board specialised for powder. Glide and float are excellent and turn response is good, but it gives up performance on hardpack and rough snow.
It's for riders who prioritise powder days over all-mountain versatility.
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.
Directional camber
A directional camber with camber under the tail and a long, mellow early rise running from the front foot to the nose. 42mm of taper and a setback stance handle powder float.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-stiff flex at 7 out of 10. The nose is medium, so buttering is comparatively easy.
