A specialised board that comes close to powder-only. It floats so easily it has been called cheater float, it is light, and it is strong in tight trees and low-angle powder.
On tracked-out or groomed snow, though, it is hard work.
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.
Flat
A flat-to-rocker construction, with recent models adding mellow camber between the feet. An aggressively tapered shape bets everything on float.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. It bends easily with good snapback energy.
