25/26 · 24/25 · 23/24 · 22/23 · 21/22 · 20/21 season review
Not easy for quick turns, but it is a fast board with good grip that likes long, drawn-out, hard carving turns on groomers and similar easy floating turns in powder. If you like the idea of the brand's powder board with camber but want something less turny, more aggressive and with more camber, this might work.

Hybrid camber
A pretty directional shape without a lot of taper. A shallow-ish sidecut plus almost full camber tip to tail makes for an aggressive, straight-line oriented ride; you only really feel the spoon nose in powder.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Other than the nose, a pretty stiff flex with lots of energy underfoot. It pops really hard on a spirited ollie but does not like half measures, and it is not an easy butter.

24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A directional powder-carving board built on a cruise-missile concept of crossing powder at speed. It comes into its own when you push it with speed and power, optimised for intermediate and advanced riders who enjoy both powder riding and aggressive carving.
It isn't suited to tricks or low-speed riding, so it's recommended to riders who want a powder/carving specialist rather than an all-mountain freestyle board.

Directional camber
Jones's Christensen Surf Camber Rocker profile: long rocker at the nose, camber between the insert packs, and a small rocker at the tail — a directional cam-rocker construction. The camber section provides pop, snap and drive, while the rocker eases turn entry and exit and improves powder float.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A directional flex with a soft nose stiffening progressively toward the tail. It's a little hard overall but not fully plank-like. Torsional flex exists but responds very readily and quickly. Two distinct flex points sit inside the rear insert pack and outside the front insert (the rocker-camber boundary).

Intermediate · Advanced
A board that performs best when driven with speed and power; at low speed it's hard to handle and feels dull. It demands precise weight distribution and edging ability, so it suits intermediates and up.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent penetration and damping in powder let it plough through heavy snow
- ✓Excellent carving performance at speed, with the ability to lay it over hard from the back foot in aggressive carves
- ✓It comes alive on groomers as speed builds, encouraging precise riding
- ✓A responsive torsional flex makes snap and spring work effectively in short turns
What the review found lacking
- —It feels dull and sluggish at low speed, making it unsuitable for relaxed riding
- —Lacking pop and snap severely limits trick performance in park, ollies and buttering
- —Nose chatter and flap exist, transmitting vibration under the front foot
- —On icy snow you feel the impacts directly, reducing stability
