21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A medium-flex powder board that combines a twin shape with a wide waist to deliver powder float and switch-riding convenience at once. It's a practical option for big-boot riders and riders who want a switch option in powder, but the wide platform makes it somewhat less agile in tight terrain.
The Surf Rocker Twin profile balances camber's rebound against rocker's smoothness, so it handles both groomed runs and powder acceptably.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A Surf Rocker Twin profile: camber underfoot, small flat sections at the contact points and surf rocker sections toward the nose and tail — a hybrid layout.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
The brand's official 5/10 medium flex. It's solid enough to get through chopped-up snow without much trouble and never feels plank-stiff. Press tricks are somewhat difficult to pull off.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
A medium flex and wide waist mean edge changes take extra effort, and it's hard to handle in tight tree runs, so it suits intermediates and up rather than beginners.
What the review liked
- ✓The twin shape makes switch riding and switch landings easy
- ✓The wide 268 mm waist gives it excellent powder float
- ✓Usable as an all-purpose board for big-boot riders (size 13 and up)
- ✓Stable even at speed with good edge grip
What the review found lacking
- —The wide 268 mm waist requires extra force and leverage for edge transitions
- —Hard to work nimbly in tight tree runs, with a slow response
- —If your weight shifts forward in powder, the nose catches the snow and slows you down
- —The Powder Drive base's performance is somewhat ambiguous, and it's slow on cold days without wax
