21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A ground-trick board that uses a two-stage sidecut for quick response and stable landings. It presses well and links smooth movements easily, which makes it good for building fundamentals at beginner and intermediate level.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber with a two-stage sidecut applied. Pro rider Shunsuke Ito took part in the design, and stability at the landing is excellent.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-soft flex at 4.5 out of 10. Response is quick while press-family moves come out smoothly.
