25/26 season review
A directional all-mountain board for riders with big feet, built around a Cruise Camber profile that combines nose rocker with camber. Excellent damping, stability and an approachable mid flex give you a smooth, dependable ride in varied snow conditions, with carving standing out in particular.
It comes strongly recommended to intermediate and advanced big-footed riders who value consistency and stability over explosive pop or park performance.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A Cruise Camber profile with rocker at the nose and camber through the rest. The nose rocker eases turn entry and exit and assists powder float, while the camber section provides load, pop, snap and drive.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A directional mid flex: a soft nose stiffening progressively toward the tail. Torsional flex engages easily while snap and responsiveness stay alive. Despite the wide platform it isn't stiff, boasting an unusually approachable flex.

Intermediate · Advanced
An approachable, accommodating flex makes it easy for intermediates to handle, while aggressive carving and driving are also possible, so it suits advanced riders too. That said, complete beginners may struggle to make full use of its characteristics.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent damping soaks up vibration on ice patches, death cookies and other rough snow for a smooth, stable ride
- ✓A wide 27.6 mm waist lets big-footed riders lock in an edge without booting out
- ✓Handles carving styles from short, tight turns to deep, aggressive ones
- ✓Predictable, consistent pop and rebound from the camber
What the review found lacking
- —Don't expect top-level snap and pop — it's focused on consistency rather than explosiveness
- —Park and freestyle trick performance isn't this board's strength
