25/26 season review
A park-to-all-mountain directional twin created by Canon Cummings and the GNU team, a stiff high-performance board characterised by strong pop and an aggressive tail. Controlling it takes considerable strength and time to adapt, but once you're used to it, it shows outstanding versatility across jumps, rails and side hits in the park.
It's optimised for advanced park riders who prefer an aggressive, straightforward riding style over playful or surfy riding.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
An aggressive all-terrain counter construction with camber underfoot and a touch of rocker between the bindings. It reverses the usual rocker-camber-rocker layout, focusing on delivering strong pop and ollies.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-to-stiff flex that's hard to handle at first, but once you get used to it provides strong pop and aggressive tail response. Like a skateboard, the pop is concentrated under the back foot.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
A medium-to-stiff flex means controlling the board takes considerable strength and skill, and the active muscular input it demands makes it unsuitable for beginners and intermediates.
What the review liked
- ✓Very strong pop and ollie performance makes it outstanding for park riding
- ✓Stable carving with strong hold once you get up on the edge
- ✓Magnetraction secures grip even on icy snow
- ✓Versatile performance across the park — jumps, rails and side hits
What the review found lacking
- —Its high stiffness demands strength, makes it hard to handle and leaves it short on playfulness
- —Slow edge-to-edge transitions make it unsuitable for surfy or turn-heavy riding
- —Not backcountry-oriented, so usefulness in powder is limited
