BOARD: Igneous Supermoto 154

TEST YEAR:   2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  5

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Its a nail driver and effortlessly plows through anything in its way.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Didn’t find the board’s sweet spot and couldn’t draw out its best qualities.

OVERALL COMMENTS: This board handles well in all types of snow I encountered: pow, chop and torn-up groomers. I wasn’t able to find the sweet spot with this board and where it truly excels, but very much appreciate its versatility to handle wherever I’d take it. It rides incredibly well in controlled and deliberate and steep turns, not so much if you’re ready to switch off your brain and play the mountain. Spins quickly in the air and lands with confidence, though with a bit of a stiff impact.
