#flex

A soft park board for beginner to intermediate women riders, whose EC2 camber system balances responsiveness against forgiveness. Magnetraction makes up for the edge hold that a soft flex usually lacks, suiting it to park and freestyle riding.

You can't expect high-speed riding or advanced-level performance from it, though.

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 rocker

The EC2 camber system: camber underfoot with rocker between the feet, a hybrid layout where the camber provides responsiveness and the rocker adds forgiveness and playfulness.

How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.

3/10

A soft flex suited to beginners and intermediates. Magnetraction (wavy sidewall) compensates for the soft flex's weaker edge hold by increasing contact points with the snow.

New · Intermediate

A board designed for beginner to intermediate women riders; a soft flex and rocker's forgiveness make it good for beginners to learn on and usable in the park up to intermediate level. It isn't suited to high-speed carving or advanced riding.
