21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The rocker version of the Pathfinder is optimised for park and freestyle riding — rails, jibs and butters — making it usable across a broad range from beginners to intermediates. Its soft-to-medium flex and rocker-dominant profile make it easy to control with a natural feel on rail features, though stability in high-speed carving and on large jumps is somewhat lacking.
Its reasonable price and range of sizes make it a good choice for riders getting into park and building technique.
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 rocker-based hybrid: flat camber between the front and rear insert packs, with rocker rising strongly toward the nose and tail. Overall it's a rocker-dominant profile.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft-to-medium flex with a pressable, buttery character suited to jibbing and butters. It isn't a full noodle flex — it returns a degree of energy and pop.

New · Intermediate
A soft-to-medium flex and rocker-dominant profile make it easy to control and beginner-friendly. Intermediates can enjoy it plenty for rail tricks and park progression, though a lack of high-speed and large-feature landing stability may leave advanced riders wanting.
