25/26 season review
A board completely reborn for 25/26 in collaboration with Mark Carter as a fully directional swallowtail, for advanced riders who want powder float and carving at once. Traditional camber, carbon vector netting, an RWD carbon tail and mixed glassing combine to balance strong power against smooth steering.
It's a board to strongly recommend to advanced all-mountain, powder and carving-oriented riders.
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.
Camber
A traditional camber profile providing strong power between the feet, with a locked-in edge feel and powerful response when carving.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-stiff flex providing high-speed riding and smooth steering in powder at once. Triax-plus-biax mixed glassing and carbon vector netting raise stiffness while maintaining a smooth ride.

Advanced
It has a medium-stiff flex and traditional camber construction, and as a board able to handle both high-speed riding and deep snow it suits advanced riders.
