25/26 · 24/25 season review
If you want easy set-back float, this may disappoint. What it offers instead is a ride far damper than its flex without sacrificing pop.
Few boards with this much pop and this easy a flex handle uneven snow so well.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Directional camber
A set-back directional camber that rides damper than its flex suggests without giving up pop.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Medium — it bends without much effort.

25/26 season review
A high-tech carving-specialised deck combining a Cruise Camber profile, Anti-Phase 4.0 and 3D nose shaping. Its excellent stability and snap let it cover everything from light cruising to aggressive trench carving.
It isn't suited to buttering or park tricks, but it's a board to strongly recommend to intermediate and advanced riders who enjoy carving groomers. Boards of similar character include the Stranded Biru, Telos Lumerian and Nitro Slash.

Hybrid camber
Amplid's 'Cruise Camber' profile: rocker at the nose with camber across the rest of the board — a camber-based hybrid. The nose rocker improves ease of turn initiation and powder float, while the camber section provides pop, snap and drive.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A flex slightly stiffer than medium. Its directional design makes the nose (the rocker section) softest, with a flex point where rocker meets camber and increasing stiffness toward the tail. Another flex point inside the back foot supports arcing during back-seat carving. Torsional flex is very snappy and highly responsive.

Somewhat stiffer than medium and a high-tech deck specialised for carving performance, it suits intermediates and up who enjoy cruisy carving. It isn't suited to beginners who mainly enjoy freestyle tricks such as buttering.
What the review liked
- ✓Anti-Phase 4.0 technology suppresses chatter for a very smooth, stable ride
- ✓Powerful pop and snap with minimal input, giving excellent air performance off side hits and rollers
- ✓Covers a wide carving range from short, quick carves to deep aggressive trenches
- ✓3D nose shaping improves edge engagement and powder float
- ✓You can cruise at a range of speeds without fatigue
What the review found lacking
- —Not suited to freestyle tricks such as buttering and nose rolls, and the nose flex point creates resistance
- —Limited for park-style tricks such as landing on the nose after a 180 pop
- —Its 3D shaping and Anti-Phase performance in powder are unverified
