25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A big-mountain/freeride-style all-mountain board designed by Sage Kotsenburg, combining float, pop and aggressive carving responsiveness through a rocker-camber-rocker profile and carbon Y-beams. Playful riding such as buttering is possible despite the stiff flex, and it's particularly recommended to advanced riders who enjoy backcountry and carving.
It isn't a dedicated park board, but its versatility across varied terrain is a strength.
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 rocker
A rocker-camber-rocker profile that provides float and pop at once. 3D contouring lifts the contact points slightly, adding extra float and playfulness.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Stiff overall, with a carbon Y-beam raising torsional stiffness for strong response in high-speed carving. That said, playful flex such as buttering is permitted to a degree.
