16/17 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Moss Snowstick U4 is a back-foot-centred snowsurf board for smaller riders. Turn entry is very fast for its class, and hardpack edge hold and powder float are both good.
That said, it's a board where the rider has to adapt to Moss's distinctive design philosophy, so it demands considerable adaptation and skill.
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.
Directional camber
A directional camber construction that maintains responsiveness at the nose and centre while producing directional float and control. Moss's characteristic back-foot-centred design means you make turns by loading the back foot, like carving in under a lip while surfing.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Medium to medium-stiff at 6 out of 10. The tail is noticeably softer, making buttering easy.
