Expert reviews 1
An entry-level park board that brings the adult line's Geometric to youth sizes, characterised by a true twin shape and a catch-free edge tune. Its combination rocker platform provides a forgiving, surfy ride feel, making it a board suited to beginner-to-intermediate youth riders getting into park and starting to learn switch and tricks.

StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft flex designed as a youth entry-level park board, with flexibility suited to tricks and switch riding.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A catch-free edge tune and hybrid rocker construction make it forgiving of mistakes, suiting beginner and intermediate riders getting into park and learning switch riding. Advanced riders will find its response somewhat lacking.
Good
- ✓The true twin shape is optimised for switch riding and trick practice
- ✓The catch-free edge tune allows smooth, forgiving riding with no edge catch

- ✓An aspen wood core backed by a three-year warranty
Not so good
