22/23 · 21/22 · 20/21 · 19/20 · 18/19 · 17/18 · 16/17 · 15/16 · 14/15 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A swallowtail snowsurf board specialised for riding that carries speed and flows like riding a big wave. Base glide rates 5/5 and speed 4.5/5, so its charging performance is excellent and powder is good too.
Switch and jibbing rate 0.5/5, though, and it resists tight turns, giving it a very distinct character. It's for advanced riders who prioritise speed and 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 snowsurf board laying a hybrid camber onto a swallowtail tapered directional. With 20mm or more of setback, it's specialised for powder while still handling groomers.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium to upper-medium flex. It resists quick, short turns and suits flowing S-turns of medium to large radius.

Advanced
An aggressive character that draws big arcs with speed, so it's for advanced to expert riders. The reviewer states flatly that it 'isn't a board for everyone'.
