25/26 season review
A top-tier freeride-oriented all-mountain deck combining a full carbon layup with a thermopolymer Starship core, whose core strengths are extremely fast responsiveness and low weight. A hybrid camber profile and directional shape cover everything from powder to icy snow, and Death Grip plus a sintered carbon base maximise high-speed carving performance.
It's a board for pure advanced riders and isn't recommended for beginners or intermediates.
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.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile: traditional camber maintained through the middle, the tail transitioning from flat into slight rocker, and the nose finished as full rocker. It gives more lift at the nose while the tail sinks naturally, so edge transitions are smooth and it feels catch-free.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A full carbon layup (top and bottom) combined with a thermopolymer Starship core provides very high responsiveness and stiffness. Quick edge transitions and powerful energy transfer are its hallmarks, and despite the stiffness it never becomes completely uncontrollable.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
Extremely quick edge response from its full carbon layup and high stiffness make this a purely advanced-only board, not one for intermediates.
What the review liked
- ✓The full carbon layup realises ultra-low weight and extremely fast edge responsiveness
- ✓The thermopolymer Starship core (with recycled material inserts) achieves low weight while maintaining durability
- ✓The Death Grip midsection secures strong edge grip even on icy hard snow
- ✓The directional shape (large nose, short tail) delivers excellent float in powder and deep snow
- ✓The full rocker nose design provides a catch-free feel and smooth edge rolling
What the review found lacking
- —A board purely for advanced riders, with a high barrier to entry making it unsuitable for beginners and intermediates
- —The directional character limits switch riding, and it's optimised mainly for one-direction riding
