Expert reviews 1
The rocker version of the Pathfinder is optimised for park and freestyle riding — rails, jibs and butters — making it usable across a broad range from beginners to intermediates. Its soft-to-medium flex and rocker-dominant profile make it easy to control with a natural feel on rail features, though stability in high-speed carving and on large jumps is somewhat lacking. Its reasonable price and range of sizes make it a good choice for riders getting into park and building technique.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A rocker-based hybrid: flat camber between the front and rear insert packs, with rocker rising strongly toward the nose and tail. Overall it's a rocker-dominant profile.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft-to-medium flex with a pressable, buttery character suited to jibbing and butters. It isn't a full noodle flex — it returns a degree of energy and pop.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A soft-to-medium flex and rocker-dominant profile make it easy to control and beginner-friendly. Intermediates can enjoy it plenty for rail tricks and park progression, though a lack of high-speed and large-feature landing stability may leave advanced riders wanting.
Good
- ✓Easy control, optimised for rail and jib tricks
- ✓Flat camber between the feet gives excellent lock-in stability on 50/50s and rail features
- ✓Butters and presses come easily with good pop response
- ✓Affordable pricing and an extruded base make maintenance easy
- ✓A wide range of sizes from 145 to 162 plus wide options
Not so good
- —Tip chatter at speed leaves carving stability lacking
- —Insufficient nose and tail stability landing large jumps and high-impact features
- —Limited powder performance (as a true twin park board)
