25/26 season review
A women's-specific all-mountain deck that delivers a light, nimble and very forgiving ride through parabolic camber and a medium-to-soft flex. Grip Tech edges provide stable grip even in icy conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate riders learning to snowboard and building their skills.
Slight chatter at speed and somewhat lacking performance for advanced riders are cited as drawbacks.

Board profile

Hybrid camber
Parabolic Camber is applied. Unlike traditional camber, it uses five radii to reduce the camber feel at the nose and tail tips for a more natural snow contact, delivering forgiving riding characteristics like a rocker.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-to-soft flex providing responsiveness and playfulness at once. It feels light and agile, and edge transitions are very easy.
