OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  7

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Maneuverability and playfullness.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Could be too short for a guy like me if it got too deep.

OVERALL COMMENTS: Loved this board. Short and wide boards can sometimes be no fun due to not having quick enough transfers edge to edge, but not this one. Could weasel around in the trees with ease, and was so fun to blast off soft moguls and other drops. Nitro is really doing some good things with these quiver boards.
