This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A specialised snowsurf board built for the sensation of drawing lines like a wave, with weight on the front foot. It's small, light and floats excellently in powder, but it demands considerable time to adjust your technique, so it isn't suited as a general-purpose board.
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 hybrid construction combining traditional camber with rocker elements. A very small, light shape creates the sensation of almost no tail, giving a feel close to a surfboard.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Medium to medium-stiff at 6 out of 10. The tail is noticeably softer, making buttering easy.
