20/21 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A small powder/surf-style board with a wide surface area in a 142 size, whose strengths are fast, snappy turns and a surfy feel in powder. There's a steep learning curve — adapting to the setback position, the importance of front-foot control, and instability on bumpy snow — and it isn't a board for every rider.
It's a strongly characterful board recommended to experienced riders who prefer a slash/surf style and enjoy powder.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile with a touch of camber underfoot that transitions into rocker toward the tips.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A light-feeling soft flex — soft enough that a stiff binding easily overpowers the board. It pairs better with soft, less responsive bindings.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
A steep learning curve — adapting to the setback stance, the importance of front-foot control, bucking on uneven snow — plus optimisation for a specific riding style make it unsuitable for beginners and intermediates.
What the review liked
- ✓Very fast, snappy turn response and agility
- ✓Its wide effective area for a 142 size gives you float to count on in powder
- ✓It provides distinctive, fun ride characteristics optimised for surfy, slashy riding
- ✓Pop from the camber and a light ride feel
What the review found lacking
- —Severe bucking and insufficient stability on bumpy snow
- —Poor pairing with stiff bindings, which overpower it easily
- —The setback character means a considerable learning curve
- —A board confined to a specific style, so versatility is low
