WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: I like how unique it felt

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Maybe a little small for me

OVERALL COMMENTS: I had so much fun on this board. Rode it first tram in 6 inches of fresh with deep oe in trees. I love how easy it is to turn. It felt like I was floating on the tail but could turn so easy. Is really solid on all terrain.

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7:   7

FLEX COMMENT:  JUST RIGHT

ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT:  it seemed really stiff. like it didn’t flex much. but the speaker of the board made it the perfect flex.

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7:  6

STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD

ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: it was pretty stable. it felt really surfy. and seemed like it wouldn’t be stable because it’s short. but again the shape and stiff flex together made it feel stable on anything

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7:  6

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: PRETTY DARN FUN

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:  pop was a lot different because of the short tail. it rally didn’t load up top ollie but you could still get air very easily. the size made it really playful especially in powder

COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EFFORTLESSLY FLOATY

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: I would love to ride untouched backcountry pow on this board. it felt so good in the deep stuff I could find.

RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7:  7

GRAPHICS COMMENT: AESTHETIC AND INSPIRING

ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS COMMENTS: different than any other graphics. I like how it’s kind of plain but the graphics are built in to the board
