OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 4
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: stability
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: a little wide up front for me
OVERALL COMMENTS: im not typically a fan of the very fat boards. an extra two inches on my front heel and toe is tought for me. Im short and not very heavy and that makes riding a board like this tough for me outside of pow. I was surprised at how much easier this was for me than other similar boards though. It is definitley a one trick stick in my opinion which is a pow slayer. Thats not a bad thing, just look at it.
