Expert reviews 1
A women's-specific all-mountain deck that delivers a light, nimble and very forgiving ride through parabolic camber and a medium-to-soft flex. Grip Tech edges provide stable grip even in icy conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate riders learning to snowboard and building their skills. Slight chatter at speed and somewhat lacking performance for advanced riders are cited as drawbacks.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Parabolic Camber is applied. Unlike traditional camber, it uses five radii to reduce the camber feel at the nose and tail tips for a more natural snow contact, delivering forgiving riding characteristics like a rocker.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-to-soft flex providing responsiveness and playfulness at once. It feels light and agile, and edge transitions are very easy.
Where it shines
Who it suits
