24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A camber twin-tip all-round board. It's light and quick to respond so it's easy to work with, while the wide waist gives it stability when carving, and being a twin, switch riding feels natural too.
It suits riders who want to enjoy everything from freeriding to technical carving and park. Note that the wide construction is only offered in the 153.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
An all-round board laying a twin tip shape onto camber. The sidecut is shallow (8.8-8.5-8.2-8.5-8.8) and the 153 is a wide design with the waist widened to 252mm (previously 248mm).
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Not mushy — the tension is definite. That said, the lightweight build means it isn't heavy to handle, and you feel the lightness from the moment you lift it on the chairlift.
