This board wins races and my heart.

Simply put, if you like riding a snowboard you'll like this thing. I've been riding for almost two decades and this is the most well mannered, polite, board I've every ridden. Think of it like the luxury sports car of snowboards. You can have no clue how to drive it and still have a great time, but if you decide to open things up you're going to be glad you did. My dad can rip this thing on a green dot run going 10mph while I can be on the same board and drop into the worlds scariest and iciest bank slalom knowing that I'm standing on the right deck. How cool is that!?

Resort board/pow machine all in one

Love riding this board in all conditions wide enough to eliminate heel drag and still rolls edge to edge fast. Backseat camber feels traditional yet let's the nose hunt for the top, great flex pattern snappy and fast smooth carving let's you draw creative lines radious of carved can be drawn out or tightened up I love this whip!!

Playfully smooth responsive fun!

Rode this at a demo day on my local hill felt like the board I have always been looking for. I have been looking for a banked slalom race board and think this is the one! The thing that stuck out the most was how it responded to different radious turns and how easily it was to tighten and close up deep hard carves.
