https://snowpicks.jp/011artistic-snowboard-evaluation/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.
Base shape (camber)
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.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
4.5/10
A medium-soft flex at 4.5 out of 10. Response is quick while press-family moves come out smoothly.
