25/26 season review
A directional all-mountain board built on a Cruise Camber profile, pursuing powder float and comfortable carving at once. It's optimised for intermediates who enjoy relaxed, fun cruising with the occasional powder day rather than aggressive high-speed riding.
Excellent damping and the nose rocker are its strengths, while high-speed stability on rough snow and tail handling disappoint.
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
Amplid's 'Cruise Camber' profile: camber runs from outside the front inserts to the tail, with early-rise rocker applied at the nose — a camber-based hybrid. The camber section provides stability, pop and drive, while the nose rocker grants powder float and ease of turn entry and exit.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A directional flex slightly stiffer than medium. The nose is comparatively soft so entering powder is easy, while the mid-to-tail section is comparatively stiff and strong. The tail is short with little kick but provides moderate snap when loaded.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate
It suits intermediates who enjoy cruisy, relaxed riding, and has limits for advanced riders who prefer fast, aggressive carving or extreme riding. For beginners, the single 160cm size and its rather stiff mid-to-rear flex may be demanding.
What the review liked
- ✓The nose rocker gives high float in powder and comfortable turn initiation
- ✓Excellent damping characteristics mean little vibration or impact even on rough snow
- ✓Decent pop and snap for a directional board, so ollie performance satisfies
- ✓Carving at cruising speeds is easy and comfortable, approachable even for lower intermediates
What the review found lacking
- —Stability drops at speed or on choppy snow, and it develops a bouncy feel
- —Tail buttering is difficult, and the short tail makes it harder to work than the nose
- —The wide nose makes quick, short carve transitions somewhat sluggish
- —Only available in a single 160 cm size, so there's no choice of length
