Expert reviews 1
An upper-tier ground-trick board that raises the power and rebound of the Mantis. Its medium-hard flex produces the strongest rebound in the line-up, and it suits intermediate and above riders who can put that rebound to use.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A step up from the MANTIS with more power and rebound. It uses a hybrid camber profile with a 'medium hard' flex — fairly stiff for a ground-trick board.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Medium-hard at 6 out of 10. It's on the stiff side for a ground-trick board but not stiff in absolute terms — it flexes plenty and returns strong rebound.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For intermediate to advanced riders. Stiffer than the MANTIS, it fits riders who can draw out its rebound.

- ✓High rebound lets you get height on tricks
- ✓Stable for a ground-trick board
- ✓Hybrid camber means less edge catch
Not so good
