Expert reviews 1
A board that has chosen beginner-friendly playfulness in its recent overhaul. Its soft flex makes buttering and pop easy and hardpack grip has improved, but it gives up high-speed carving and advanced-rider capability.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber with slightly more camber toward the tail and a similar amount of rocker at the nose. Taper is increased over the previous version.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
3 out of 10 — very soft. It's softened dramatically from the previous generation, close to a jib-park flex, so butters and ollies are easy despite the directional shape.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Its main target is beginners to intermediates. Forgiving and stable, it's good for starting out, but it doesn't carry through to advanced level the way the previous generation did.
Good
- ✓Improved hardpack edge hold gives it good grip
- ✓Good pop and playfulness make tricks easy
- ✓Forgiving and stable for beginners
- ✓With a setback stance it can handle powder
Not so good
- —The flex is too soft, so chatter arrives at speed
- —Unsuitable for aggressive carving
- —Insufficient support landing large jumps
- —Unlike the previous generation, it can no longer bridge all-mountain and freeride
