WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: It’s effortless in the powder and stable on groomers

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Nothing.

OVERALL COMMENTS: This was a hands-down favorite. I expected the Roundtail to maneuver well in deep powder because of its shape. What I did not expect, however, was its superb mixture of stability and pop once I steered out of powder. This deck is shockingly versatile.
