23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A hybrid camber freeride board with 25 mm of taper. It's softer than others of its type, so ollies and butters are easy, and both powder float and hardpack edge hold are good.
That said, it's more about pushing down the fall line in a straight line than drawing arcs, and it wants weight on your front foot. It suits upper-intermediate riders who want approachable pop and powder over aggressive carving.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A directional freeride shape with 25mm of taper on a camber-based hybrid. Setback is built in, so at a 22-inch stance the position sits roughly 5.25 inches back, and the nose floats that much better in powder.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex. It's on the soft side among comparable directional shapes, so ollies and butters come easily. Its character is rubbery yet keeps its pop alive.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
Soft enough to be forgiving for a freeride board, but it prefers front-foot-weighted turns, so fundamentals are needed. For intermediate to advanced riders.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent powder float (4/5)
- ✓Softer than comparable directional boards, so ollies and butters are easy
- ✓Quick to initiate turns with a satisfying feel following a line
- ✓Predictable response as snow conditions change, with good hardpack edge hold (4/5)
What the review found lacking
- —Weighted toward straight-lining rather than drawing carve arcs (carving 3.5/5)
- —It wants front-foot weight, which feels unfamiliar to back-foot-centred riders
- —Soft flex for a freeride board, so support in extreme situations is lacking
