Expert reviews 1
The Moss Snowstick U5 is a highly specialised board aiming at carving drawn like riding a wave while surfing. Edge transitions are fast and both powder float and hardpack grip are good, but its extremely tail-centred design demands adaptation. It's a board that rewards advanced riders ready to accept Moss's philosophy.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional camber with rocker at the nose and tail and a large setback of 20mm or more. Its extreme rearward bias creates a sensation similar to where the back foot sits on a surfboard.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Tail rocker combined with a large setback produces a distinctive buttering feel.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Advanced to expert only. It isn't intuitive for most snowboarders, so it takes considerable time to learn.
Good

Not so good
