Expert reviews 2
A board that combines an all-mountain/powder-oriented directional design with a mid-soft flex and hybrid camber, carrying freestyle fun and freeride function at once. Manoeuvrability and float in powder are particularly excellent, and you can enjoy butters and carves on groomers too. The directional shape does limit park-focused riders and those pursuing high-speed, high-difficulty freeriding, though.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A camber-based Resort V2 profile: positive camber is maintained through the middle of the board (out past the insert pack), with reverse camber (rocker) blended into the nose and tail tips. The camber is mellow rather than strong, and more reverse camber is applied at the nose in particular to strengthen powder float.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Slightly softer than mid (about 4 out of 10), providing a playful flex that makes butters and ground tricks easy. Reverse camber at the nose and tail means good presses with little force, though it can feel washy at speed and on large jumps.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A mid flex with a playful character and directional camber design make it suitable for intermediates and up rather than beginners. In the park it handles up to medium-sized features, and with limits in high-speed freeriding, advanced riders are best served using it mainly for all-mountain and powder.
Good
- ✓The lightweight construction (paulownia Hover Core plus skinless wood topsheet) provides excellent manoeuvrability and feel
- ✓The directional shape (taper, setback, long nose) combined with reverse camber gives outstanding powder float and manoeuvrability
- ✓Its playful mid flex handles butters, ground tricks and park riding broadly
- ✓The hybrid camber construction provides unexpectedly strong edge hold on groomed snow
Not so good
- —The directional design constrains switch riding and twin-centred tricks in the park
- —The soft flex leaves stability lacking in high-speed freeriding and on large jumps, where it can wash out
- —In dense wet powder the soft nose can be pushed down, making it feel underpowered
