Expert reviews 2
A new camber profile and tweaked shape transformed this into a very fun all-conditions ride for snowsurfers. The early versions were not really groomer boards, though they floated incredibly well for their size. Today it is a very recommendable all-conditions snowsurf ride.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A tapered directional camber. A new camber profile and tweaked shape transformed it; earlier versions were among the brand's first surf rocker boards.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Medium-stiff, yet buttering is not hard.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Advanced and up — it rewards riders used to a snowsurf approach.
Good
- ✓A very fun all-conditions ride
- ✓Holds an edge even on icy snow
- ✓Floats incredibly well for its size
- ✓Skidded turns are not hard
Not so good
- —The early versions were not really groomer boards
The Storm Chaser has become an all-conditions snowsurf board through its overhaul. A new camber profile greatly raised its carving and stability while keeping powder float intact. It suits a slot in a quiver centred on directional powder riding.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A setback directional camber where camber runs from the tail to midway through the front inserts. Stability is greatly improved over the past flat-to-rocker version, and early rise handles powder float.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium-stiff flex at 7 out of 10. The nose is medium while it's stiff from the inserts to the tail.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For advanced to expert riders. It fits riders prioritising powder and all-conditions snowsurfing.
