Expert reviews 1
A snowsurf board that demands a riding mechanic different from convention. For riders who adapt to the unfamiliar front-foot-weighted approach, it repays them with outstanding powder performance and responsiveness.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid construction combining traditional camber with rocker elements. Its large nose area gives excellent powder float, and it's designed so you make turns by loading the front foot.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium to medium-stiff flex at 7 out of 10. When buttering on snow, the tip and tail feel quite soft.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For advanced to expert riders. Contrary to typical freeride boards, it only performs when you load the front foot heavily, so adaptation is needed.
Good
- ✓Light, quick to respond, with impressive base glide
- ✓The large nose area gives it outstanding powder performance
- ✓A good fit for riders with US 8–12 boots
- ✓Set up with a directional stance, it produces springy turns
Not so good
- —It needs a lot of front-foot weighting, so the learning curve is steep
- —Poor switch riding performance
- —Limited performance on bumpy, broken-up snow
- —Not intended for charging at speed
