TEST YEAR: 2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS
OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 6
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: A splitty that rocks!
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: splitboard bindings. And, it tried to kill me on the groomer.
OVERALL COMMENTS: After meeting the Cold Smoke boys at the meet and greet, I had to try one. The first splitboard I had in 1996 turned me off to them forever, so it was a goddamned epiphany getting on that Voodoo. A crud-busting mother scratcher, I loved it on the steeps and deeps! It did try to kill me on the groomer and may have an invisible anchor on the flats, but it’s built for pow, so we won’t take any points away. Solid 9.2 score from the Wilson judge.
