20/21 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A strongly characterful board that uses its wide surface area to provide an excellent surf feel in powder despite being a small 142 cm board. Its extreme setback position and high responsiveness mean adapting takes considerable time, and stability on irregular snow is somewhat lacking.
It's specialised for experienced riders who prefer a slash/surf/powder style, and it isn't suitable for every rider.
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.
Hybrid rocker
A hybrid profile with a touch of camber underfoot and rocker (Yellow Rocker) blended in toward the tips.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft, light flex. Fitting highly responsive bindings makes it hard not to overpower the board, so it pairs better with mellower bindings.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
An extreme setback stance and sensitive response make for a steep learning curve, demanding front-foot control. It requires a level of skill high enough that full adaptation is hard even after several days of riding.
What the review liked
- ✓A wide effective edge and surface area for a small 142 cm board provide big-board float in powder
- ✓Very fast, agile turn response and snappy pop optimise it for slash and surf styles
- ✓A black base makes it a practical design that keeps its looks after waxing
What the review found lacking
- —Severe bucking on uneven snow leaves stability lacking
- —The extreme setback and sensitive feel make for a steep learning curve, suiting only certain riders
