This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Rome Artifact is a park/jib board kept on traditional camber but made soft so presses come easily. Fast edge transitions and strong pop are its strengths, and it's forgiving within the park.
Conversely it's clearly weak at speed, in carving and in powder, so using it as a park-only board is the right call.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
One of the few traditional positive camber boards left in the jib park category. Despite the camber, the flex is kept soft so presses and butters go in easily.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft-to-medium flex at 4 out of 10. It has a soft, playful, buttery feel while the pop that comes from camber stays fully alive.
