25/26 season review
A large specialty board specialised for high-speed riding, delivering powerful stability and carving performance once you build speed. The difficulty of low-speed control and slow edge-transition response make it better suited as an advanced specialty board for special occasions than as a daily driver.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A camber-rocker-camber construction, but overall a camber-dominant hybrid camber profile. Magnetraction is applied along the full length to reinforce edge grip.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A large 195cm board with a strong flex and a hard character offering excellent stability at speed. Its stiffness suits high-speed carving alongside skiers.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
A large 195cm board that's hard to control at low speed and only settles once speed rises, which suits advanced riders. It's very difficult for beginners and intermediates to handle.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent stability and powerful carving performance at speed
- ✓Magnetraction gives it excellent edge grip for a 195 cm board
- ✓Strong performance descending slopes at speed alongside skiers
What the review found lacking
- —The sidecut acts excessively at low speed, making balance difficult
- —Slow edge-to-edge response is a disadvantage for quick direction changes
- —A specialty board that's hard to ride day to day, so it lacks versatility
