OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 4
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: The graphics
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: For a Never Summer deck, the Lady West was disappointing when it comes to stability and float
OVERALL COMMENTS: Never Summer has become a favored brand at Jackson Hole because NS makes a lot of sturdy decks that don’t sacrifice pop and playfulness. The Lady West, however, is not among NS’s best. I’d like to see a sturdier iteration of this board.
