OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  4

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Unbelievably light

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Unbelievably light

OVERALL COMMENTS: This board is very light. I prefer a medium stiff-stiff durable board. I wouldn’t suggest this board to the big mountain rider. I feel like I could break it at any moment. It’s snappy and responsive so if you want something you can throw around this board is for you. If you want to charge steeps I’d go a different route.
