TESTER: Eric

BOARD: Winterstick Wescott 164

TEST YEAR:   2019 SHAPERSUMMIT SNOWBOARD REVIEWS

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  6

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Felt like a very solid cambered free ride deck. Great for Jackson!

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Wasn’t too playful. But it’s probs not supposed to be.

OVERALL COMMENTS: Wintersticks are NICE! Very high quality build from the forrest of Maine (my homeland)!! The Wescott is no exception. Aggressive flex and directional shape. Ripped through all the crud and heavy wet pow I could find. I think it had a bit of early rise in the nose and maybe a touch in the tail. It floated pow and could ride switch if needed. I tried my impression of Wescott ripping some mixed pow (fast and powerful) and felt his vibe for sure. Great strong free ride deck!
