OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 5
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Good pop, seems to be a board that could do anything.
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Kinda boring to ride
OVERALL COMMENTS: I liked this board, but didn’t do anything I absolutely loved. Very weird. I maybe lend that to the conditions it was in (Heavy slush), and not to the board itself. It checked a lot of boxes for me, but just didn’t really leave you saying “wow”. Would like to get this thing out in some different conditions, maybe some corduroy, and see if I liked it more.
