OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  5

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Powerful, great float in deeper snow and plows through chunder

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: A little stiff and unforgiving if you don’t have full control, sluggish on hard pack

OVERALL COMMENTS: I think this would be a great ride for someone that rides a lot and demands a lot from their snowboard. Definitely aggressive, and a little too stiff for my liking. But would ride again.
