TESTER: Joni Madere

BOARD: Franco Mary Mary 152

TEST YEAR:   2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  6

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: responsiveness in all conditions ridden

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: little too heavy for my taste (and my size)

OVERALL COMMENTS: well-rounded in that it handled really well in all conditions. responsive, held it’s edge even in packed powder/heavier snow groomer runs, never wheeled up like a potato chip, no brainer in pow, so easy to turn for being heavier (to me), i’ve never ridden that far in the back seat so was a totally new ride to me btw! surfy surfy 😉

BOARD STYLE:       

CONDITIONS TESTED IN: HARDPACK  ICE  POWDER SLUSH

RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7:  7

SHAPE COMMENT: FUN TO LOOK AT

ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS:  positive comments from local skier/climber/photographer we all know 😉 again, the shape seemed to override the weight in that the board still did it’s thang

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7:   5

FLEX COMMENT:  JUST RIGHT

ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT:  perhaps a little stiff compared to what i’m used to, but leaned toward stiff, but i wouldn’t say too stiff for what this board is supposed to do

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7:  7

STABILITY COMMENT: ROCK SOLID- AS GOOD AS IT GETS

ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: for a lighter person it was very stable in heavier snow; perhaps weight/stability combo?

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7:  5

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: OK

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:  ok and pretty darn fun. see previous comments to understand why i didn’t find it super playful + my board this season is super poppy yet also a potato chip argh!

RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7:  7

COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EFFORTLESSLY FLOATY

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW:
