23/24 · 22/23 · 21/22 · 20/21 · 19/20 · 18/19 · 17/18 · 16/17 · 15/16 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A soft asymmetric twin optimised for buttering and jibbing. It keeps camber's pop within a soft flex to carry forgiveness and responsiveness together, and hardpack edge hold is good too.
Powder and high-speed stability are weak, making it a board for park-focused advanced riders.
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
Mostly a camber construction, but the middle is a passive bend so mellow it only touches down under load. An asymmetric twin shape designs the heelside and toeside differently.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft-to-medium flex at 4 out of 10. It's soft, yet camber's pop stays alive so ollie response is good.

Advanced
For advanced to expert riders with a park and freestyle focus. Sloppy technique catches an edge easily, making it demanding for beginners and intermediates.
