OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 6
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Playful flex
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Maybe a little too soft when charging.
OVERALL COMMENTS: Overall I really liked this board. It was quick edge to edge, while still being wide enough for good float in the pow. Got myself in a little trouble a couple times being a bit far forward, but nothing too crazy. I could see this being a great board to have in your quiver for most of the conditions and terrain we see at Jackson.
