OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  7

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: How it rips carves, slays pow and even goes upside down well

OVERALL COMMENTS: This board is my daily driver… it single handedly changed the way that I snowboard. When I came to pow wow 18 I hadn’t ever ridden much outside of twin park boards, and this board was the one that opened my eyes. I’ve had so many days that are kind of shitty conditions, but I’ll ride this thing til 4 cause it’s just plain fun in everything… It’s stable yet playful, a charger that’s surfy, and it absolutely RIPS the carves. I circle carve every lap on this thing (it’s a rule,) and oh yeah… it jumps well, and rides switch good too! Seriously had it all!
