Expert reviews 1
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.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
A traditional camber profile providing strong power between the feet, with a locked-in edge feel and powerful response when carving.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
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.
Where it shines
Who it suits
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.
Good
- ✓The fully directional shape with a swallowtail and long nose delivers outstanding powder float
- ✓Carbon vector netting and the RWD carbon A-Frame tail provide strong edge lock and pop in carves
- ✓Mixed glassing (triax plus biax) secures power and smoothness at once
- ✓The hand-dyed ash topsheet adds pop, power and stability alongside its looks
- ✓A progressive sidecut and taper design make turn initiation very easy and natural
Not so good
- —Traditional camber and a medium-stiff flex can make it hard for beginners and intermediates to handle
- —It uses a directional design not suited to park- or trick-focused riding
