24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A soft twin park board using Mervin's C3 profile, showing its strengths in buttering, jibbing and pressing thanks to a wide sweet spot and excellent torsional flex. Its soft character means clear limits at speed, on rough snow and on large jumps, though, so it best suits intermediate-and-below riders getting into park and building freestyle skills.
Skilled riders need to know its limits and modulate their input, and anyone wanting more aggressive riding should consider upgrading.
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 camber
A Mervin C3 camber profile: a hybrid construction with micro reverse camber (rocker) between the feet, camber underfoot and flat sections toward the tips. It maintains camber's pop and drive while the flat sections ease turn entry and exit and widen the press sweet spot.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft twin park board. Flexible sweet spots form broadly at the tip and tail, while the C3 bend point (the centre) is comparatively stiff, so torsional flex can be used well. It's soft overall, so washout occurs at speed and on big jumps.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate
It suits intermediates entering the park and building skills. Beginners are unlikely to overpower it, so it can work for practising butters and presses, but overall it's designed for riders at the park-entry to early-intermediate stage. Clear limits at speed and on big jumps leave it short for advanced riders.
What the review liked
- ✓Wide nose and tail sweet spots make locking in easy for butters, presses and jibs
- ✓High torsional flex makes ankle steering work well and edge engagement very easy
- ✓Magnetraction improves grip even on firm snow
- ✓A forgiving character that suits park beginners building their skills
What the review found lacking
- —Severe vibration and chatter at speed or on rough snow transmit heavy impact to your body
- —The soft tips and tail wash out (overflex) if you apply excessive force
- —Insufficient pop and landing stability on medium-to-large jumps, with tail overflex problems
- —A somewhat soggy feel overall, with weaker snap and pop than peers
