24/25 · 23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
Not a versatile board, but it sure does down-the-line high-speed carves well. It has a massive camber yet a softer flex than you would think for this type of board, which makes it a really fun, mellow ride.
Size it much wider than usual so you get zero toe and heel drag.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A tapered directional shape with a massive camber, a big setback and a locked-in feel.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Softer than you would think for this type of board, though buttering is hard.

Expert only — skidded turns are hard and it is slow edge to edge.

24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A classic carving-specialised board that delivers powerful carving performance and excellent stability through a full camber construction and a stiff flex. It runs smoothly with no chatter even through chop and chunder, and it handles carving styles from Euro carves to short turns.
There's no freestyle element at all, and it suits intermediate and above carving enthusiasts who can drive it actively with weight forward.

Camber
A traditional full camber profile from contact point to contact point, providing powerful drive, precision, snap and power.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A sport-stiff level: not quite a death plank, but stiffness that clearly places it in the carving board category. The nose is barely softer and the flex stays consistent to the tail, while torsional flex is very stiff, making it hard to twist independently.

Handling its full camber construction, high stiffness and torsional flex takes considerable skill, suiting experienced riders who can shift weight forward and work the edge actively.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent stability and damping punch through chop and chunder easily
- ✓It delivers the powerful edge grip and hold that come from full camber
- ✓Its wide platform allows aggressive carving with no boot-out even laid over deep
- ✓It provides strong snap and rebound from the tail
What the review found lacking
- —Not remotely suited to freestyle riding such as park, tricks or carve butters
- —Full camber and high stiffness make it hard for beginners and intermediates to handle
