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 multi-purpose board using directional combination camber, with a forgiving, playful character optimised for park beginners and first-year riders. A sintered base gives it excellent durability and a traditional snowboard feel, and riders with big feet should pick the wide version.
It shows some limits in extreme conditions, but overall it's a well-balanced all-rounder.
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.
Directional camber
A directional combination camber: rocker at the nose and tail tips minimises edge catch, while camber between the feet — set back toward the tail — provides a traditional snowboard feel.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A happy-medium board with a flex that is neither especially hard nor soft, with versatile characteristics covering both park and freeride.

Intermediate
It suits riders just starting in the park or with about a year of park riding. Its very forgiving, friendly character means intermediates can handle it without pressure, while advanced riders may find it somewhat ordinary.
