24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A board at the very top of the freeride category (1st of 27 freeride boards tested by the review outlet, 91.3/100). Its core strength is carrying powder float and high-speed carving at once, and it barely gets knocked around even on rough snow.
It's a board for advanced and above riders who ride the whole mountain aggressively, park excepted.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Directional camber
Jones's Directional Rocker — camber between the bindings with more rocker at the nose than the tail, a directional hybrid camber. The nose rocker creates float and manoeuvrability while camber underfoot handles edge hold and responsiveness. Taper, setback and 3D shaping are added, so the nose lifts in deep snow.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A stiff flex at 8 out of 10 that feels mid-stiff (about 7.5) on snow. Damping is good enough that chatter is almost absent at speed, but pressing the board through turns takes stamina to match.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
Close to advanced/expert only. A stiff flex and setback directional shape make it hard to turn at low speed and demand athleticism. It's too much for beginners and intermediates to handle.
What the review liked
- ✓Very stable at speed with excellent glide
- ✓Almost no chatter even on ice and rough snow
- ✓The combination of nose rocker, taper and setback gives it excellent powder float
- ✓Powerful hardpack edge hold holds up under high-speed carving
What the review found lacking
- —Low-speed turns take a lot of effort and the tail feels slightly catchy
- —Not remotely suited to park or jibbing
- —Quick edge-transition response is relatively sluggish
- —Physically taxing, which is demanding for beginners and intermediates
