Expert reviews 1
A resort-focused board that trades powder float for a forgiving camber feel. Its strengths are turn feel and springiness on medium to soft snow, and it's a good character to add to a quiver. If you ride where ice is common, you're better off looking elsewhere.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
Full camber running tip to tail, but with the edges at the contact point tips lifted slightly. It maintains camber's pop while reducing traditional camber's characteristic edge catch.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. You have to load it somewhat to draw the pop out. With damping present, it stays stable on variable snow.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Full camber, but forgivingly designed so it covers beginners through experts. That said, its edge feel on hardpack is counter-intuitive and takes adaptation.
Good
- ✓Very good turn feel on medium to soft snow
- ✓It has full camber's pop without traditional camber's catchiness
- ✓Quick edge-to-edge with a good balance of turn radii
- ✓Damping keeps it stable when conditions vary a lot
Not so good
- —The lifted edge tips make the edge feel washy on hardpack
- —Powder performance falls short of boards with more rocker
- —The hardpack edge feel takes time to adjust to
