20/21 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A forgiving, versatile mid-priced all-mountain freestyle board. It's comfortable when conditions vary a lot and hardly ever catches an edge.
It's weak at both extremes, hardpack and powder, though, so it belongs as one half of a two-board quiver.
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.
Camber
Camber running tip to tail with the contact point tips lifted. It maintains the camber feel while securing catch-free forgiveness.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10, evenly medium across the whole board. Little vibration comes through, so it's comfortable on rough snow.

It fits intermediates through experts. Forgiving, but coping with both hardpack and powder calls for a degree of experience.
