TESTER: Mikey Franco

BOARD: Niche Pyre 155

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  5

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: The ethos behind the brand. The shape was fun and has potential.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It felt like it had a bad tune, maybe edge high. Fun to ride off piste but on hard snow the board felt super catchy.

OVERALL COMMENTS: Solid direction/shape but the tune seemed off.

SHAPE COMMENT: NOT JUST GOOD BUT GOOD ENOUGH

ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS:  I think the nose shapes are beautiful but too blunt for the best float.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY: You are creating an ethos that the rest of us should aspire to.
