23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A park-specialised snowboard with a camber-based hybrid construction and a medium-stiff flex of around 6/10, whose core strength is high versatility satisfying both jump stability and rail compatibility. Its true twin shape and light construction let you use it freely riding switch and across varied park features, making it a board suited to a broad range of park riders from intermediate to expert.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile: camber-dominant through the middle underfoot provides pop and stability, while rocker blended into the nose and tail tips reduces the risk of catching an edge.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-stiff flex around 6 out of 10, providing ample stability on jump take-offs and landings while retaining enough flexibility for buttering.

It suits park riders from intermediate to expert level; a stiffness that requires some force when buttering makes it unsuitable for beginners.
