Gentemstick Hornet 150 SNOWBOARD REVIEW 2016

TESTER: Oceanman

BOARD: Gentemstick Hornet 150

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 10:  9

OVERALL COMMENTS: Love this shape! Squash tail stomps trannies and the large nose keeps you afloat in powder. Super nimble and fun on any condition. The “accelerator profile” is an awesome, far-out concept and it works like a surfboard does. Everybody is making smaller surf shapes and this one takes the cake compared to the Swift, Bean or Jone’s new mountain surfer.

RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 5:     5

SHAPE COMMENT: Awesome! Love the squash tail but has the feeling of a fish.

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 5:     3

FLEX COMMENT: Middle of the line. Perfect nose and tail flex.

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS:    4

STABILITY THROUGH TURNS: The hornets rail hold and follow through. So fun!

RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 5:    4

GRAPHICS COMMENT: Chill

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 5:    5

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: Tons of tranny popping and stomping

RATE FLOAT IN POW IF AVAILABLE FROM 1 TO 5:    4

COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: She’ll go! If it gets too deep sst her all the way back. Yoder’s recommendation for short stance hit the sweet spot with my extreme alpine stance.
