BOARD: Winterstick Swallowtail 182

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 10:  10

OVERALL COMMENTS: LOVE it!

RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 5:     5

SHAPE COMMENT: Rides short, handles gnarly bumps and hard snow surprisingly well!

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 5:     4

FLEX COMMENT: For a heli-board, this thing ripped ice very well. Clearly, this board will dominate waist deep snow, especially on lower angled terrain.

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS:    4

STABILITY THROUGH TURNS: really can’t wait to ride it in super deep pow!

RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 5:    4

GRAPHICS COMMENT: Keeping it old school!

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 5:    4

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS: Very quick turning for a 182. The sidecut and taper enable this board to move very fast edge to edge.

RATE FLOAT IN POW IF AVAILABLE FROM 1 TO 5:    5

COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: Needless to say.
