Expert reviews 1
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.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
A hybrid profile with a touch of camber underfoot and rocker (Yellow Rocker) blended in toward the tips.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft, light flex. Fitting highly responsive bindings makes it hard not to overpower the board, so it pairs better with mellower bindings.
Where it shines
Who it suits
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.
Good
- ✓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
Not so good
- —Severe bucking on uneven snow leaves stability lacking
- —The extreme setback and sensitive feel make for a steep learning curve, suiting only certain riders
