OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  6

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Crazy metal top sheet!

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It’s hella stiff, which worked great in the lighter freshies and on the groomers, but made it a little hard to control in the heavy stuff.

OVERALL COMMENTS: Fun as fuck in the right conditions… ripped turns on the groom, and was surfy through the trees in the lighter stuff up top, but with how wide and stiff it is things got a little hard to control in the hot pow down low… would LOVE to get it back out on some clean groomers some time.
