TEST YEAR:   2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  7

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Absolute charger.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Wasn’t as wild and crazy as the other shapes in the tent, but that’s not really a knock.

OVERALL COMMENTS: LOVED this board. Rode it later in the day when the hill was beat up, and it somehow just excelled. No matter what kind of shit you pointed this board into, it just destroyed it. Some said they were expecting the board to be stiffer, but for me it was almost perfect. Stiff enough to be stable and charge, but it didn’t punish you for letting off and getting a little lazy.
